@melrobbins: Broccoli can protect your cells… but only if you do this first. According to Dr. Lucia Aronica, Stanford nutrition and epigenetics scientist, you need to let broccoli sit for a few minutes after chopping or cutting to activate its most powerful health compound. That’s how you unlock sulforaphane, which is the compound in broccoli that turns on hundreds of protective genes in your body. It helps you detox, calm inflammation, protect your cells, and support long‑term health. In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Dr. Lucia Aronica reveals her Stanford framework for eating your way to younger genes, including the everyday foods that deliver the biggest payoff and the sneaky mistakes that can strip those foods of their benefits if you’re not careful.

Brocoli sprouts have the highest concentration of sulforaphane. You can grow them in your kitchen in a jar, a batch takes about 4 days.

Jos Stojanovic :
This contradicts what Dr Joseph Mercola states about cruciferous vegetables. According to him, broccoli is best eaten when quickly blanched for no longer than a minute or two until bright green in colour. Apparently it’s most beneficial after quickly blanching, not raw.

Not if you spray it with pesticides. Nothing is good. Nobody ever talk about the glyphosate on all the food.
