Brussel Sprouts are
an incredibly nutritious vegetable that
are rich
in antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamins C, A, and E,
and alkalizing minerals such as calcium, copper, iron, and
manganese. They are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin K which are essential for proper brain and nerve
function and are vital for aiding cognitive issues such as brain fog, memory
loss, lack of concentration, ADD, ADHD, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Brussels sprouts are
also known
to help stabilize the DNA within
white blood cells which creates a stronger, more resilient immune system. Brussel Sprouts also contain powerful anti-cancer compounds which are shown to particularly help fight
and prevent colon, breast, prostate, lung, bladder, liver, endometrial, and
ovarian cancer.
They can help stimulate the kidneys
to release more water, which can reduce bloat and edema and make it
easier for dislodged fatty wastes to be flushed out of the body. Brussel Sprouts are also good for stimulating sluggish glands and for promoting a
cleaning effect on adipose cells and tissues making it an ideal
weight loss food.
They contain high amounts of glucosinolates which can significantly
reduce inflammation and is excellent for prevention and relief from
rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, lupus, strokes, heart attacks,
arteriosclerosis, and bursitis. Brussel Sprouts are excellent for helping to lower cholesterol, prevent constipation,
stop overeating, and decrease H.pylori in the digestive tract.
HEALTH BENEFITS
1. Keeps Bones Strong and Healthy – Brussels
sprouts are full of vitamin K, which is responsible for good bone health. One cup of Brussels Sprouts has over 270 percent of your
daily vitamin K requirement. Studies have found vitamin K to be helpful in
increasing bone density and reducing fractures in osteoporosis patients.
2. Helps Fight Cancer – The research on how
Brussels sprouts help fight cancer is vast. Here are a few highlights.
Brussels sprouts are a cruciferous vegetable, which has
been shown
to lower overall cancer risk, according
to research at Oregon State University.
People who ate greater amounts of Brussels sprouts had a lower risk of
cancer, as stated on the
National Cancer Institute fact page.
Cruciferous vegetables inhibit and regulate cancer-causing
genes. Cruciferous vegetables are “key to eliminating cancer,” according to research at the University of
Alabama at Birmingham.
Also, Brussels sprouts are a glucosinolate-containing
cruciferous vegetable, which a 1995 study found reduces colon cancer.
3. Lowers Cholesterol – When Brussels sprouts are
steamed, the fiber components bind with intestinal bile acids, helping them to
pass out of the body. This creates a need in the body to replenish lost bile
acids, using the existing supply of cholesterol, thus reducing it.
4. Provides A Good Source of Protein When Combined with a
Whole Grain – Brussels sprouts contain a good quantity of protein. There are 4 grams
of protein in one cup of Brussels sprouts. You will get the most protein when
you eat
them with a whole grain as they need the balance of other amino
acids.
5. Promotes Weight Loss – One cup of Brussels
sprouts has only
56 calories. They are low in fat and have 4 grams of fiber. This
fiber has many benefits for your digestive system and gives you that ‘full’ feeling. They are nutrient dense so your body is also satisfied long term.
TO OBTAIN THE NUTRIENTS
AND ENZYMES FROM BRUSSELS SPROUTS, COOK THEM
STEAMED UNTIL TENDER.
“In the study of hygiene, students should be taught the
nutrient value of different foods. The effect of a concentrated and stimulating
diet, also of foods deficient in the elements of nutrition, should be made
plain. Tea and coffee, fine-flour bread, pickles, COARSE VEGETABLES, candies, condiments, and pastries fail of
supplying proper nutriment. Many a
student has broken down as the result of using such foods…” {Ed
