Broccoli enhances memory
Broccoli is rich in nutrients, as well as brain and stomach protection, anti-cancer treatment and other effects. According to a recent report by the British "Daily Mail", it is also a good helper to enhance memory.
The study found that when people are highly excited, they have the strongest memory. Acetylcholine, which is present in the brain, is the key substance that can stimulate the excitement of brain cells. But with age, the acetylcholine in the brain will continue to decrease. The lack of acetylcholine not only causes memory loss, dull thinking, and can lead to dementia in severe cases.
British scientists suggest that dietary acetylcholine is one of the effective ways to improve memory. Broccoli, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, contains "acetylcholine," which promotes memory. Therefore, it is recommended that if you want to improve your memory, you may eat cruciferous vegetables.
The nutritional value of broccoli
The nutrients in broccoli are not only high in content but also very comprehensive. They include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamin C and carotene. According to the analysis, every 100 grams of fresh broccoli contains 3.5 grams to 4.5 grams of protein, which is 3 times that of cauliflower and 4 times that of tomato.
The broccoli contains more minerals than other vegetables, and is rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, zinc, manganese, etc., which is much higher than the cabbage flowers belonging to the crucifer family. Broccoli may be the most significant anti-cancer anti-cancer effect, cauliflower contains more vitamin c, higher than cabbage, tomato, celery, especially in the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer, breast cancer is particularly effective. Studies have shown that the level of human selenium in gastric cancer is significantly reduced, and the concentration of vitamin C in gastric juice is also significantly lower than that of normal people. However, cauliflower can not only give people a certain amount of selenium and vitamin C, but also can supply abundant carotene. It prevents the formation of precancerous lesions and inhibits the growth of cancer. According to studies of nutritionists in the United States, there are many kinds of quinone derivatives in the cauliflower. This compound has the effect of reducing estrogen levels in the human body and can prevent the occurrence of breast cancer. In addition, studies have shown that an enzyme extracted from cauliflower can prevent cancer. This substance is called radish primin and it has the effect of improving the activity of detoxification enzymes of carcinogens.
In addition to anti-cancer, broccoli is also rich in ascorbic acid, can enhance the detoxification of the liver and improve the body's immune system. And a certain amount of flavonoids can regulate and prevent hypertension and heart disease.
