Plenty of broccoli in your diet may help to protect those of us with polycystic ovarian syndrome against heart disease. The latter condition is closely linked with PCOS.
A study by The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry suggests broccoli triggers production of proteins which reduce the risk of damage to the heart.
Â
The vegetable appears to persuade the body to produce a protein called thioredoxin, which protects against cell damage in the heart. Broccoli contains sulforaphane, which is seen as particularly effective in creating this process.
Â
However, the lightly steamed version of the vegetable may be more powerful than the one which has been left to boil. “If broccoli is over-cooked, it loses a lot of its protective effect,” said Professor Dipak Das, who led the research team.
