Perhaps the most significant thing about broccoli is its anti-cancer effect. Cauliflower contains more vitamin C than Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, and celery. It is especially effective in preventing and treating gastric cancer and breast cancer. Studies have shown that when suffering from gastric cancer, the level of serum selenium in the human body drops significantly, and the concentration of vitamin C in the gastric juice is also significantly lower than that of normal people. Cauliflower can not only supplement a certain amount of selenium and vitamin C, but also provide abundant carotene, which can prevent the formation of precancerous cells and inhibit the growth of cancer. According to research by American nutritionists, cauliflower also contains a variety of indole derivatives. This compound can reduce estrogen levels in the human body and prevent the occurrence of breast cancer. In addition, research shows that an enzyme extracted from cauliflower can prevent cancer. This substance is called carotene, which can increase the activity of carcinogen detoxification enzymes. In addition, broccoli can also enhance the body's immune function. The vitamin C content of cauliflower is extremely high, which is not only beneficial to human growth and development, but more importantly, it can improve the human immune function, promote liver detoxification, enhance people's physical fitness, and increase disease resistance.
