Fight Cancer With Broccoli Sprouts
Fight Cancer With Broccoli Sprouts
I have an old friend who has just gone in for colon cancer surgery. I am on vacation in Oregon and got to see her for less than 5 minutes as she was headed for a doctor's visit.
Cancer is so common now. And it could occur in any of us, if we do not address the things that might keep our immune system from functioning properly. This could be our diet, our chemical exposure, our emotional issues and much more.
So I wanted to add a reminder today of something that is easy to add into the diet and is very good at helping all of us fight cancer.
Fight Cancer With Broccoli Sprouts
Mom was right to insist on us eating our vegetables. She knew they built good health, gave us the minerals we need and more. But perhaps there are some things she was not aware of. One of them may have been sprouts.
Broccoli sprouts are rich in a compound that provides significant protection against breast cancer and colon cancer.The compound is called sulforaphane glucosinalate.
Sprouts grown from certain types of broccoli
seeds contain up to 50 times more of this compound than mature broccoli.
I have read that a brand of sprouts developed at John Hopkins University is guaranteed to have 20 more times the SGS compound than the mature broccoli. This one is called BroccoSprouts. You can purchase broccoli sprouts at your local health food store or grocery store.
It is possible that Broccoli sprouts could carry the bacteria that make you sick - salmonella, so you may want to take them out of the container when you get them home and soak in a bowl of water with a few drops of grapefruit seed extract for three or four minutes.
Don't put the sprouts back in the same container unless you soak that as well. After draining them for a few minutes store them in the refrigerator.
With Breast cancer and Colon cancer so common these days, be sure to add in this protective food, assisting your body to fight off illness and cancer.
