1. Slows down the aging process, protects the skin and body from free radicals.

Broccoli contains many powerful antioxidants such as vitamin C, beta-carotene, lutein and especially sulforaphane – a rare plant active ingredient that can protect cells.

These substances help neutralize free radicals, which are responsible for cell damage, premature aging, and premature skin aging (wrinkles, dull complexion). Free radicals are also implicated in many chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes.

To maximize the anti-aging benefits of broccoli, women are advised to steam it rather than boil it to preserve vitamins and enzymes. Combining it with olive oil, butter, or dishes rich in healthy fats will promote better absorption of fat-soluble antioxidants by the body.

2. Purifies the liver, supports the body’s natural detoxification.

Broccoli is rich in sulforaphane, a natural compound that activates detoxifying liver enzymes.

The liver acts as the body’s “detoxifying organ.” When it functions properly, toxins are easily metabolized and eliminated, contributing to a feeling of lightness and well-being. And of course, a “purified” body results in brighter skin and a more even complexion.

Women can eat broccoli 3 to 4 times a week, accompanied by carrots, daikon radishes, or onions, to maximize its benefits for the liver. If you have the time, steaming is ideal for preserving nutrients.
