A Reason To Eat Broccoli!

⭐Super cool NEW research shows just how important the bacteria in your gut is for your health ...

… and also for preventing and treating disease in the future! 💯

It’s not just the bacteria that matters, but also the genes they contain.

🤓Interesting fact: your gut microbiome has 200 times more genes than your entire body!

💪We all know broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower are good for you, right? They contain vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

👉 But they also contain chemicals called glucosinolates.

🦠There’s actually a bacteria in your gut – called Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron – that can transform those chemicals into compounds called isothiocyanates, which have protective effects against certain cancers.

🥦 Amazing, right? Well, scientists have pinpointed exactly WHICH gene inside that bacteria that’s responsible for producing isothiocyanates – and discovered that adding it to other bacteria helps them produce it, too!

🤯MIND BLOWN!

🥗The takeaway: Say yes to broccoli! And be sure to take care of your gut health with a healthy diet, enough sleep & exercise, and cutting back on stress … since they ALL affect your microbiome.
