Broccoli sprouts

And then reading up, I looked at NF2 activators and there seemed to be a lot of pharmacological ways to activate NF2.

And then I stumbled upon the isothiocyanates found in broccoli and broccoli sprouts.

And that was just, okay, can we do something with this in a human intervention study? So we designed that.

We bought broccoli sprouts, measured the amount of isotopes, ionates.

and decided to, okay, so let's train people really hard for one week.

And then we give them the broccoli sprouts with isothiocyanates or we give them a placebo, which was alfalfa sprouts.

And then we saw that with this really hard week of training, if they got the placebo, they didn't improve at least performance wise.

And then lactate was higher when they tested them on a bike.

All right, so that's baking soda.

And number six, we have broccoli sprouts.

There's nothing wrong with broccoli sprouts, okay? I mean, it's a great thing.

If you were to grow your own broccoli sprouts in soil to make them a little bit slightly older, and that's called microgreens, that would be a little bit better because you're getting the benefit of the soil.

But that being said, broccoli sprouts contain something called sulforaphane.

And in large, large quantities compared to adult broccoli by a factor of 10 to 50 times more sulforaphane.

And sulforaphane is really good for H. pylori, which causes gastritis, ulcers, things like that.

Let's get started.

First up is broccoli sprouts.

Not broccoli, sprouts.

This one surprises people every time.

Broccoli sprouts are broccoli in its baby stage.

Just a few days old and gram for gram, they contain far more sulforaphane than the mature vegetable.

Some research puts it at over 10 times more.

I eat fatty fish two to three times a week, usually salmon or sardines, simply grilled or roasted, really nothing complicated.

You just put a little bit of this into your food on a regular basis.

So the first one is sulforaphane in broccoli sprouts, but especially broccoli microgreens, which are basically sprouts that have grown a little bit bigger.

I would definitely recommend growing your own, and I'm gonna be doing some videos on that.

And if you get broccoli microgreens, ideally, if you can get them grown in soil, that would be the ideal situation, but even if you get them as sprouts, you're gonna get good amounts of sulforaphane.

So broccoli sprouts.

Doesn't take much.

A little bit in your salad a few times a week.

Let me ask you this one.

Because of this show, I grow sprouts and eat broccoli sprouts and lentil sprouts every day.

Are they tall sprouts or short sprouts? Is that a dumb idea also?

Good question.
