Health Benefits of Brussel Sprouts

The health benefits of brussel sprouts far outweigh their sulfur-like smell when overcooked. It’s best to steam them, with the outer leaves still crispy.

Brussel sprouts may not be your favorite vegetable, but it’s wise to include them in your diet, even sporadically.

They have one of the highest concentrations of Vitamin C, which supports your immune function and the manufacture of collagen, the protein that supports and holds the body tissues together.

They also contain the powerful phytonutrient sulforaphane that give a boost to your body’s detoxification enzymes, helping to eliminate potentially carcinogenic substances more quickly.

Among their health benefits are their high content of folic acid. Deficiency of folic acid during pregnancy has been linked to some birth defects. Without folic acid, the fetus, nervous system cells do not divide properly.

Brussel sprouts are also rich in fiber. Its juice is beneficial for diabetics and hypoglycemics.

Additionally, they contain more antioxidants than red cabbage. They’re also anti-inflammatory, protecting the body against diseases like arthritis.
