Have you ever heard about sulforaphane? If not, then it's time to know more and spread the news! 🥦
I've never heard about it either until about two months ago when I was listening to an episode of a fantastic podcast (which I highly recommend to listen to if you are interested in nutrition and health).
Dr. Rhonda Patrick frequently engages the public on topics including the role micronutrient deficiencies play in diseases of aging, the role of genetics in determining the effects of nutrients on a person's health, the benefits of exposing the body to hormetic stressors, such as exercise, fasting, sauna use or heat stress, or various forms of cold exposure, and the importance of mindfulness, stress reduction, and sleep.
She mentioned sulforaphane during several episodes, but the information just didn't click with me until one point when I said to myself that this has to be very important knowledge if a scientist is trying so hard to raise awareness around the subject.
And I began to research and to my surprise, I've found that sulforaphane antioxidants are indeed one of the most powerful ways to ‘waken’ your body and create a strong, resilient and active natural system defense.
