From the results of the research, broccoli is very rich on sulforphane content known to be able to renew the production of enzymes and protect blood vessels and prevent cell damage due to high levels of sugar in the blood.
"In studies conducted on mice, these compounds reduce the production of glucose by growing liver cells and alter the expression of liver genes from the potential of diabetes Sulforaphane can reverse the disease and cut excessive glucose production and glucose intolerance with the same amount of metformin," explained the researcher. From Lund University, Annika Axelsson quoted from Boldsky.
In addition, Broccoli also contains chromium, which increases this compound in the body will encourage increased insulin sensitivity in the body that is useful in controlling glucose and other related factors that accompany the onset of diabetes.
