According to the daily mail of June 28, scientists at Dundee University in the UK have found that sulforaphane extracted from broccoli can help prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease Researchers found that in addition to broccoli, sulforaphane is also produced after eating sesame, Brussels sprouts and cabbage, which can activate the body's natural anti-aging system and protect key brain cells from free radical attack and damage Antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E help to scavenge free radicals, but have little effect in the brain Researchers found that sulforaphane in broccoli can activate the body's own protective mechanism, fight against free radicals, protect brain cells, and thus reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease The two-year study found that sulforaphane pills were better than broccoli in preventing and treating Alzheimer's Because some people eat broccoli, the absorption of sulforaphane is far less efficient than taking sulforaphane tablets Scientists say drugs like sulforaphane pills can also help treat Parkinson's disease, stroke and even cancer.
