Useful properties of broccoli are detected one after another. Until recently, there was information that this plant protects against cancer, is useful for the brain. And once again broccoli interested scientists. Now it became known that this kind of cabbage is able to cleanse the lungs, killing pathogens inside the organ, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net It should be noted that for such purification the immune system usually answers, but, precisely, macrophages. Macrophages are white blood cells that remove foreign substances that can cause a pulmonary infection. But, unfortunately, smokers with experience and people with a weak immune system and a lot of chronic diseases can not always get the necessary protection.

Specialists at the University of Baltimore (USA) found that if some cruciferous species, such as broccoli and cauliflower, are damaged, then a plant component such as sulforaphane, capable of restoring the pathway of macrophages, destroyed by smoking or other negative effects.

The experiment was performed with infected macrophages, which were placed in an infected medium. The result of sulforaphane treatment became quite remarkable. The ability to fight in white blood cells was restored.

In broccoli, sulforaphane is contained in an inactive chemical form and is activated by being in the human body and being susceptible to the effects of saliva and intestinal enzymes.

Due to this, the concentration of the indicated element is directly dependent on the physiological characteristics of the person.

The findings will still be tested through clinical trials on volunteers who have pulmonary dysfunction. According to preliminary calculations, it will take at least 3 years.

Now you can only say with certainty that eating broccoli for food will provide you with lungs that are not affected by harmful bacteria.
