Scientists have found that inflammation caused by irritable bowel syndrome can be reduced by eating broccoli.
Researchers from the University of Maine found that thanks to broccoli, the intestinal microbiota is healed – this helps to reduce inflammation in the digestive tract. The conclusions of the specialists were published by The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry.
In particular, scientists state that when patients suffering from IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) are transferred to a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables, their condition improves. Broccoli is a cruciferous plant, like other types of cabbage – white, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, etc.
Scientists say:
Broccoli yogurt will protect a person from colon cancer
“High consumption of broccoli is associated with a decrease in the level of pro-inflammatory molecules in the blood.”
Researchers attribute this effect of reducing inflammation to the presence of substances such as glucosinolates and sulforaphane in broccoli. Once in the body, they stimulate the active growth of “good” intestinal bacteria.
