Vegetables are the most nutrient dense of all the food groups. They are low in calories, high in vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytochemicals, yet most of us aren’t eating enough. Broccoli is a great source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and a good source of vitamins B5, B6 and fiber. In addition, it also helps your body excrete excess estrogen from your body. This is important because many of us are taking in estrogen-like substances called xenoestrogens every day from our food and beauty products that are circulating in our bodies and causing hormone imbalances. (See our events page for more information in our Hormone Health seminar).
