10 Benefits of Broccoli - Learn the Amazing Health Qualities of Broccoli


We've all been told that eating our broccoli is healthy, but why does it have such a bad reputation in terms of taste? How come so many people despise eating it? For the longest time I wouldn't touch broccoli either, but in the years of studying health, I've learned just how important broccoli is.
I wanted to include more broccoli into my diet, and I wanted to make it something I desired and enjoyed, rather than something I had to force myself to eat.
The key is learning and being creative with ways you prepare it. Traditionally, people steam or boil broccoli. This completely takes away the flavor and makes it very bland, which makes it easy to see why so many children hate eating it.
There are many more creative ways to add broccoli into your foods such as; adding it to fresh salads, adding it on pizza, sautéing it with mushrooms, olive oil, and lots of Italian spices. Try and get creative and find new ways to include broccoli in your meals without making it something scary.
My favorite method is taking it in powder form, in conjunction with many other healthy herbs and vegetables. You can mix the powder into some fresh fruit juice which makes it much more enjoyable to drink.

The Liver
A lot of my studies have been on the liver, and just how important they are to our bodies and good health. Our livers are responsible for so much that we absolutely must become more aware of how to keep it healthy. Our livers break down all our foods, cleanses the toxins in our bodies, processes all of our sensory input, and is our heat-furnace. It's the only organ in the body that can regenerate.
Our livers are extremely abused in our society, and broccoli can play an important role in helping to heal our livers.
