Personally, I love cruciferous vegetables. However, I am aware that many people do not like them. If you aren't sure what vegetables we are talking about, this group includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, etc. These vegetables are important to our bodies for many reasons but one of the most important ones is this - research has shown that cruciferous vegetables contain a phytochemical which helps our bodies break down potential carcinogens. Since carcinogens are agents that can cause cancer, I highly recommend including cruciferous vegetables in your diet! If you have a real aversion to these healthy vegetables try eating them in small amounts at first or look for new and tastier ways to prepare them! Soups, stews, stir-fries, etc are good ideas. But do eat them!
