When you overcook it, broccoli loses all its nutrients including thioredoxin which protects heart cells from damage so to get the best from your broccoli then stir fry or steam lightly for five minutes. Broccoli also helps to lower blood pressure. It contains the vegetable protein glutamic acid which lowers hypertension. Broccoli  also has cancer fighting effects too so remember to get yours in three times a week if you can.
