The term multiple benefits of broccoli as a food, it seems indisputable. A new study reveals, these vegetables contain nutrients that are effective for respiratory health.
Experts from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, USA, through its research, expressed a similar substance in broccoli may reduce cell damage that triggers the onset of severe lung disease. Substance called sulforapane has been shown to increase levels of NRF2 protein in lung cells and provide protection to the cells at risk of damage from toxins and poisons
The report was published in the Journal American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, researchers found that concentrations of NRF2 was significantly lower in smokers who live with lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). NRF2 gene plays an important role in restoring and activating a number of important mechanisms that remove toxins and pollutants that can damage cells.
In laboratory tests, a team of researchers led by Dr. Shyam Biswal sulforapane shown that restoring and enhancing NRF2 levels are reduced in the cell was exposed to cigarette smoke. Increased levels of NRF2 sulforapane through the provision, it is believed will lead to the creation of a therapeutic treatment and prevention of COPD.
COPD is a chronic disease with symptoms of personal protective equipment for respiratory tract, including shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and contains a lot of mucus. This interferes with lung function and reduces respiratory system and can lead to respiratory and cardiac complications.
If ignored without checking that the disease is worse AKN with age. People with COPD usually difficult to perform daily activities and often die young.

Broccoli For Diabetes Medicine
Broccoli predicate as a great, seems indisputable. So much research that shows how this natural food, rich in substances that are beneficial to health.
A recent study in England shows that broccoli is an important substance that is able to repair and restore the function of blood vessels damaged by diabetes. Researchers at the University of Warwick believes that a compound called sulforaphane, has a major role in restoring blood vessels.
As published in the journal Diabetes, sulforaphane can stimulate the production of enzymes that protect blood vessels and reducing the molecules that damage cells significantly. Type of Brassica vegetables like broccoli is associated previously with a lower risk of heart attack and stroke.
People with diabetes are at higher risk of carrying up to five times as many cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke, two of which are also associated with damage to blood vessel cells.
University of Warwick research team has examined the effect of sulforaphane on blood vessel cells damaged by high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), which is closely related to diabetes.
They noted a 73 percent reduction of molecules in the body called Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Hyperglycaemia can cause levels of ROS to increase three times, and elevated levels of these molecules can damage cells. The researchers also found that sulforaphane activated a protein in the body called Nrf2, which protects cells and tissues against damage caused by the activation of antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes.
"Our study shows that substances such as sulforaphane from broccoli may help prevent the disease process associated with the development of diabetes. The future, it is important to do some research to see if a diet rich in brassica vegetables to be beneficial in patients diabetics. We hope that will happen, "says lead researcher Professor Paul Thornalley.

The Benefits Of Broccoli To Your Health
There is good news for those who enjoy cooking mixed with broccoli. Apparently, the magnesium content in vegetables, broccoli has benefits for improving memory and intelligence in all ages. This information is based on research from a university in Beijing, China, which is Ching Hua University.
And news that the current team of researchers are developing a supplement to improve memory, based on magnesium. Since the research experiment conducted experiments of magnesium supplementation in rats of different ages in different.
The results showed that very high levels of magnesium may improve memory and mental stability mice. and certainly needs further investigation in how the influence of high magnesium on the human body.
But judging from its usefulness as a substance that forms in the shape of red blood cells and hemoglobin oxygen binding, magnesium has an important role in maintaining the nerve to keep it under normal circumstances. Besides the above, magnesium can also keep your heart rate remains stable, it can strengthen bones and energy metabolism.
In addition to broccoli and other vegetables that contain magnesium are the consumption of spinach, peas, wheat and seafood for magnesium is 0.35 grams per day.
