Love it or hate it, broccoli can be a big help in reaching your goals to increase your muscle mass and overall health...
Containing 2 grams of protein per cup, broccoli provides an ideal amount of Omega 3 fatty acids, which acts as an anti-inflammatory, while improving performance by keeping cells flexible. This enables our bodies to repair cell damage through faster delivery of nutrients. Research has shown that high-performance athletes have significantly more cells containing higher levels of Omega 3.
Another broccoli benefit? Indoles, a natural anti-estrogen. Estrogen hormones increase the capacity of the body to store fat. Curbing excessive production of estrogen can help...well…with a bunch of different stuff.
Available all year round, broccoli is also rich in fiber, vitamin C, and phytochemicals that help protect against cancer.
