“Researchers from London’s Imperial College found that if the innermost layer of cells at branches and bends of arteries lack the active form of a protective protein called Nrf2, the arteries are prone to inflammation and disease. However, exposure to ‘the natural compound sulforaphane reduced inflammation at the high-risk areas by switching on Nrf2,’ explained Paul Evans, thus restoring the cells’ ability to protect themselves. Sulforaphane is found most heavily in broccoli, but also in other cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts.”
