Prevent and Reverse Dis-Ease With Broccoli

President George H. W. Bush famously said that he didn't like broccoli, and since he was

president, he didn't have to eat it. But if the

former president becomes over-acidic and starts

showing signs of hyper or hypoglycemia (diabetes),

he may allow broccoli on his plate after all.



New research from the University of Warwick in

England found that eating broccoli could reverse

the vascular damage to blood vessels caused by

metabolic and dietary acids that cause diabetes.



The scientists believe the chemical in broccoli

responsible for the heart-healthy effect is

sulforaphane, which promotes the creating of

alkaline buffers that protect blood vessels,

and reduces the amounts of metabolic and dietary

acids that cause cell damage.



Crucifer vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels

sprouts and cabbage, have been tied to a lower

risk of strokes and heart attacks. People with

diabetes face up to a 500 percent increase in

risk of developing cardiovascular dis-eases that

are linked to damaged blood vessels caused by

metabolic and dietary acids. They also risk other

health problems such as kidney dis-ease which is

also caused by an excessive amount of metabolic and/or

dietary acid.



High blood Sugar or acid levels can cause levels

of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) to increase three-fold

to buffer the Sugar and increased acidity. Sulforaphane

activates a protein called nrf2 which protects the

blood and lymphatic vessels and lowers the increase of

acidity by 73 percent.



"Our study suggests that compounds such as sulforaphane

from broccoli may help counter processes linked to

the development of vascular disease in diabetes," said

Warwick Professor Paul Thornalley. He added that in

the future it will be important to see if eating a

diet rich in broccoli and other crucifer vegetables

will benefit diabetics. "We believe it will," he said.



According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist

at the pH Miracle Living Center, "sulforaphane compound

found in broccoli is a powerful antacid or alkaline buffer

that protects the blood, the blood vessels and other

organs that sustains life. Broccoli is one of the most

powerful vegetables for anti-aging! That is why I

included broccoli florets and broccoli sprouts in my

latest anti-oxidant/anti-aging product called,

Doc Broc Power Plants."
