Benefits of Broccoli for Immune System

Who does not like broccoli? This one vegetable is highly recommended in your dinner plate if you want to be healthy and have an optimal immune system.

Broccoli should not be removed from daily cooking. According to the author of The Four Pillar Plan Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, there is even one vegetable that really needs to be eaten. That is, broccoli.

"Broccoli is a lifesaver," wrote Chatterjee, who is also a correspondent of the BBC Doctor in the House program, excerpted from the Independent on Monday (14/5).

The benefits of consuming green cabbage began in the gut. Dr Chatterjee explains, after traveling through the small intestine, it will develop from there. Once the fiber from the broccoli is digested and reaches the colon, broccoli will make the fatty acid decrease.

The condition will lead to healthy intestinal bacteria, intestinal health, and improve immune health. As a marker of overall health, intestinal health is very important because it has a huge influence not only on the digestive function.

"Not only in our digestive function, but also in the mood and function of our brain and also can affect weight and potential joint pain," said Dr. Chatterjee.

Although intestinal health is known to be beneficial, the relationship between healthy intestinal bacteria and healthy mind is relatively new. According to Harvard University Medical School, a person's stomach or intestinal disorders can actually be the cause of anxiety, stress, or depression because the brain and gastrointestinal system are closely connected.

If your diet is not healthy, it can cause this connection to light up. Consumption of intestinal health enhancer foods such as broccoli, can also reduce the risk of mental health problems.

Broccoli also provides many other benefits including heart health, eye health, cancer prevention, and cholesterol reduction. Make sure to cook and consume broccoli directly to get maximum results. Try to avoid processed by frying and choose to boil, steam, or eat it raw.
