Broccoli Crunch Salad

This salad is loaded with cruciferous veggies. I love cruciferous veggies! I know what you are thinking cruciferous what?? See below for a list!

I include at least one of these into my daily meals each day. The benefits are immense! They contain glucosinolates. Glucosinolates break down into highly beneficial compounds when we heat, chew, and digest them.
These compounds & benefits are:
Indole-3-carbinol: stimulates detoxing enzymes in the gut and liver, think cancer protection, estrogen balancing, breast health, immune support, and more!
Sulforaphane: toxin neutralizing, antiinflammatory, DNA protective, cancer protection, heart-protective, blood sugar balance, bowel health, and more!
Fiber: feeds good bacteria in the gut, helps balance hormones, promotes healthy detoxification, improves bowel movements, balances blood sugar, and more!
