The mustard oil contained in broccoli pushes the defence against free radicals by enzyme formation directly in the respiratory tract. The aggressive particles enter the body through polluted air, pollen, and cigarette smoke and can cause damage, allergies, and inflammation.

As a side dish, try whole grain basmati rice. It combines the typical aroma with the healthy taste of the outer layers and germination. It also balances your carbohydrate count.
