Inflammation refers to the body's natural response to injury, infection, or irritation. When tissues are damaged, the body's immune system triggers a cascade of biological responses to repair the damage and protect against further harm. While inflammation is a crucial part of the body's healing process, chronic inflammation can be harmful. Prolonged inflammation is a key factor in many health conditions, including arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Therefore, it's important to manage inflammation appropriately through lifestyle choices and diet
Every day, we breathe in hundreds of toxins and get toxins from what we eat or drink. Our liver and body are always detoxifying. Most diseases in our body are tied to inflammation, affecting our lungs, heart, and immune system, including issues like clogged arteries and cancer. Microgreens can help wrap up these toxins, which can then be eliminated through your colon, sweat, or urine. They have proven benefits for our heart and immune system, fight cancer, reduce the mortality rate caused by cardiovascular disease, lower resting blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol, manage type 2 diabetes, and more—and they taste amazing.
Did you know that broccoli microgreens are the #1 anti-cancer food? This is because they have the highest concentration of sulforaphane among all cruciferous vegetables. Sulforaphane is the most potent natural inducer of your NRF2 receptor. The NRF2 pathway is a critical cellular defense mechanism that plays a key role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and maintaining cellular homeostasis.
When we ingest sulforaphane, it activates the NRF2 receptor, which then modulates a group of enzymes known as phase one biotransformation enzymes. This reduces the expression of enzymes involved in activating carcinogens. Additionally, sulforaphane activates a group of enzymes known as phase two detoxification enzymes. These enzymes help neutralize toxic compounds, make them more water-soluble, and facilitate their elimination through the colon or bladder, preventing disease caused by inflammation.
So, just eat cruciferous vegetables, especially broccoli microgreens!
