If the enemy of women is breast cancer, the concern of men is prostate cancer. Fortunately, a recent study showed that broccoli is capable of preventing this dangerous disease.

Scientists have discovered this miraculous function of broccoli after experimenting on two groups eating beans and broccoli for one year in men (57-70 years old) at risk of prostate cancer. .

From monitoring and doing tests to analyze cell samples, the researchers found that a diet rich in broccoli had a significant impact on genetic modification (GSTM1 gene), inhibition or cancer. letter growth slowed.

Professor Richard Mithen, of the Food Research Institute in Norwich, England, said: 'This is the first study to provide evidence that shows that meals that include a variety of cruciferous vegetables can reduce the risk of disease. prostate cancer."

Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, lettuce, lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower and kale.

Thus, when eating a lot of cruciferous vegetables, particularly 2-3 meals per week, will help the GSTM1 gene work better.
