For the past few months, I’ve been doing an experiment based on research by longevity scientist, Dr. Rhonda Patrick. She does research into ways to make feel and look better while living longer. Most recently, Dr. Patrick has been doing research on something called sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is an organic compound found in cruciferous vegetables, like brussel sprouts, and it has amazing anti-aging benefits. It decreases inflammation, reduces oxidative stress, relieves depression, prevents alzheimer’s, fights cancer, improves brain function, lowers cholesterol, and much more.
Sulforaphane’s ability to reduce inflammation does wonders for anti-aging in particular. Inflammation is the main culprit for not only physical aging, but internal aging, as well. Inflammation prohibits our bodies from functioning properly. If we can reduce our inflammation, we can both have more energy and live longer. Research has shown that there is no food on the planet that can provide as much sulforaphane as broccoli sprouts- which is why it’s such a powerful superfood! Just 140 grams of broccoli sprouts, which contains 60mg of the sulforaphane, has been scientifically proven to reduce the doubling rate of a cancer biomarker by 86%. That’s huge! Another sulforaphane study showed that given just 30mg of the compound to children with autism improved their brain scores by 34%. There have even been studies of sulforaphane in animals that have proven the compound to be as effective as the antidepressant Prozac.
Hello – just found your website. Found your stretch and knee rountine very good and I will be doing it every day. I also saw a six week diet plan and exercise to slim down your waist and to loose weight generally. However, I am not able to find it again. Could you kindly send it to me.
