To celebrate spring, you should add some-more greens to your diet! Broccoli is a great veggie to start with!
These mini green trees are chalk-full of folic acid that’s necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells in the body. This super food also has high Vitamin C and K levels that help aid in circulation of the blood and wound repair. Vitamin C is also known for being a powerful antioxidant and protects the body from damaging free radicals. Another perk that many foodies are fond of, is that broccoli is high in fiber- then in turn aiding in digestion and weight maintenance.
With a combination of healthy exercise, rest, and relaxation, this delicious squash can be a wonderful addition to your new diet.
