Broccoli restores damaged blood vessels in diabetes

Eating broccoli can restore damaged blood vessels in diabetes, say British scientists. Scientists at the University of Warwick suggests that the reason for the positive effect of broccoli is on the blood vessels in the plant component sulforaphane. This substance increases the secretion of enzymes, which have a protective effect on the blood vessels and reduces the level of molecules, which cause significant cell damage. Experts believe that eating broccoli reduces the risk of heart attacks. In people with diabetes, five times greater risk of cardiovascular disease, such as diabetes with damage to the blood vessels due to the high level of glucose in the blood connected. Study the experts found that sulforaphane activated to protect the secretion of a substance Nrf2 protein in the body, the cells and tissues from damage. In other words, it activates the secretion of antioxidants and detoxification "bad" enzymes.
