Broccoli:
An ideal food, broccoli is packed with vitamins and minerals - Vitamins A and C (a cup of cooked Broccoli contains more Vitamin C than two Oranges), beta carotene, B2, B5 and folate, zinc and iron.
It comprises 90 per cent water and contains very few calories.
Broccoli is another free radical fighting food, protecting cells in the brain and body from oxidative damage.
It provides protection against heart disease and a range of infections, particularly respiratory ones, and is thought to be a major force in fighting bowel cancer.
Its detoxifying properties mean that broccoli can prevent a built up of harmful toxins within the body, allowing the liver and the digestive system to function more effectively and ultimately improving skin condition.
In addition, the folate found in broccoli promotes the production of the mood lifting chemical serotonin beneficial for those suffering from depression.
