An ode to broccoli 🥦 by Dr. Casey Means, MD:
"You could see broccoli as simply a green veggie. Or you could see it more accurately as an ecosystem of molecular components that can support many of the hallmarks of Good Energy by quelling oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The high fiber content of broccoli feeds your gut bacteria and lining, minimizing leaky gut and chronic inflammation and helping to produce mitochondria-optimizing chemicals like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Its vitamin C protects your mitochondria from oxidative stress. Vitamin K decreases mitochondrial dysfunction by serving as a mitochondrial electron carrier. And folate serves as a lock-and-key cofactor in the mitochondrial proteins that generate ATP. Broccoli also contains numerous antioxidants that protect your cells from oxidative damage."
Luckily, I love #broccoli and happen to eat it every day for breakfast as part of Bryan Johnson's Super Veggie Bowl.
