Broccoli ranks first in average nutritional value and disease prevention function. Every 100g of cooked broccoli contains 90.6% water, including 2.9g of protein and 5. 1g of carbohydrate, which can provide 1 17.2kJ of heat. Cooked broccoli contains vitamin C, potassium, folic acid, vitamin A, magnesium, pantothenic acid, iron and phosphorus. In addition, broccoli also contains carotene. Broccoli can effectively reduce the incidence of breast cancer, rectal cancer, gastric cancer, heart disease and stroke, and can also sterilize and prevent infection.
Broccoli may have the most remarkable anticancer effect. Broccoli contains more vitamin C, which is higher than Chinese cabbage, tomato and celery, especially in the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer and breast cancer. Studies have shown that the serum selenium level of patients with gastric cancer is significantly reduced, and the concentration of vitamin C in gastric juice is also significantly lower than that of normal people. Cauliflower can not only supplement a certain amount of selenium and vitamin C, but also provide rich carotene, which can prevent the formation of precancerous cells and inhibit the growth of cancer. According to American nutritionists, cauliflower contains a variety of indole derivatives, which can reduce the level of estrogen and prevent the occurrence of breast cancer. In addition, studies have shown that the most important ingredient in broccoli to prevent cancer is "sulforaphane", which can improve the activity of carcinogen detoxification enzyme and help cancer cells repair to normal cells.
In addition to anti-cancer, broccoli is also rich in ascorbic acid, which can enhance the detoxification ability of the liver and improve the immunity of the body. A certain amount of flavonoids can regulate and prevent hypertension and heart disease. At the same time, broccoli is a high-fiber vegetable, which can effectively reduce the absorption of glucose in the gastrointestinal tract, thus lowering blood sugar and effectively controlling the condition of diabetes.
