Hello, been a while!
1 had a very revealing experience with this plant/vegetable that confirm to me that ones diet is less than complete without it in your diet.
I had what was medically confirmed to me as early menopause, prior to my checkup, i started experiencing irregular blood flow, when it comes at all its usually just spotting and dark which is so unlike what it use to be, i mean you could literally set the time by how regular and on time my monthly circle use to be.

so you can imagine my deli-ma over this new development, the many trips to my Gynaecologist, the many test that was run and when all came back clear, i decided to just relax and not worry anymore but then there is this niggling thought that you have when you have an unresolved puzzle when that time of the month comes.
So i had to travel for my moms birthday in Maryland, and i just develop cravings for vegetables particularly broccoli and cauliflower, i was buying and eating them by the bucketful lightly steamed and with grilled fish or chicken, at times just as a snack and what do you know after 2 weeks, i experience a blood flow like never before in close to a year just like it use to be. i was shocked!

I quickly went online to read up and what do you know, it contains a whole lots of nutrient that actually help in alots of other ways;
Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head is eaten as a vegetable Wikipedia
