Cruciferous Vegetables
While vegetables may not be everyone’s favorite, there’s a reason why your mother always insists that you eat them. Cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinolates, which assist the body in metabolizing toxic substances and also help to reduce inflammation. This group includes broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage, which contain sulforaphane. This is rather significant, as sulforaphane has been linked to a lower risk of breast, lung, and prostate cancer. Kale and bok choy are also recommended by many due to their strong antioxidant and fiber content.
