The next super food is broccoli and many Americans have incorporated broccoli into their diet not realizing that broccoli is a super food. The reason why broccoli is a super food, it's actually referred to as the cancer fighting green vegetable. Broccoli minimizes carcinogens in your body reducing the risk of cancer. It's also very nutrient dense. It has calcium, it has protein, it has fiber and many other nutrients that are going to nourish your body. An interesting thing about broccoli is that many times people only eat the top flour of the broccoli, but you can actually eat the whole plant. So you can go ahead and trim the stock and chop it up and saute it and you can also eat the broccoli leafs. So incorporate this cancer fighting dark leafy green into your diet and help your body fight against cancer.
