What is Sulforaphane?! 🥦 Before we dive in, we think it’s time you start sprinkling a little bit of sprouts over your meals. 😍🌱
👉🏼 Let us explain! It’s the active phytochemical in cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, bok choy, brussels sprouts, cauliflower (a.k.a. the good stuff — this phytochemical helps plants thrive.
How does Sulforaphane benefit you? ✅
😱 Helps promote fat loss – sulforaphane releases a substance that improves the way the body’s adipose fat cells consume energy. By also improving your gut flora, the efficiency benefits are twofold and this can contribute to weight loss.
😱 Reduces cancer risk – sulforaphane also contains a high concentration of antioxidants and is a powerful anti-cancer compound by inhibiting blood vessel growth (angiogenesis), inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis), and inhibiting cell proliferation/migration.
➕ Protects the GI Tract
➕ Improves Immune System Function
➕ Encourages body detoxification
➕ Reduces inflammation
➕ And so much more— this is only the beginning!
So how do we get a bunch of this ”good stuff” in a higher concentration? 🌱Sprinkle a few sprouts on every meal which have a very minimal taste compared to it’s adult life sources (full grown cruciferous vegetables).
🤔 Raw cruciferous vegetables also doesn’t contain any sulforaphane until you start to chew it. Most of these beneficial phytonutrients are also slightly degraded when exposed to heat (steaming, baking etc). 🔥
You can find them at your local health food store or sprout your own! 🌱🙌🏼
