I incessantly encourage my clients to eat more cruciferous
vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts, bok
choy). They are loaded with
phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals that can help with hormone balancing,
cancer prevention, heart disease prevention, and because of their natural
anti-inflammatory properties can avert any form of inflammation.
If you dislike any of the aforementioned vegetables, no
worries! There is an unfamiliar cruciferous vegetable that I love more than all
of the above. It’s sweeter and more succulent. It’s called Kohlrabi and it’s in
season— go find one at a farmer’s market near you! Kohlrabi has more than 100%
of your daily vitamin c needs and it is loaded with minerals as well as the
cancer-fighting phtonutrients.
