On the healthy to-do list: eat more broccoli

January 31, 2011

If you, like me, are trying to eat more veggies, know that to get a boost from broccoli’s cancer-fighting properties, the veg needs to be  lightly steamed (cook it longer and you cook away the healthy myrosinase enzyme).

And to give it an extra healthy boost, throw some broccoli sprouts in with your lightly steamed broccoli.

According to the University of Illinois study, you need to eat three to five servings a week to experience the health benefits.

(That’s a whole lotta broccoli. I’m going to start with one serving and take it from there).
