The secret of youth is broccoli !!

The secret of youth can be found in broccoli, according to a US study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Sciences.Cranberry-colored vegetables are rich in chemicals, called indoles, found in tests with mice, worms, and flies to keep them in good shape as they age.

The discovery could lead to the creation of an anti-aging pill, thanks to which people enjoy good health in their twilight years instead of being sick and infirm, according to the authors of the study at Amory University in Atlanta, USA.

 

Broccoli is often glorified as a superfood, providing protection against obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

The present study found that vegetable indole helped worms, flies, and mice retain their mobility and stamina despite age.

Research Team Leader Professor Daniel Kalman and colleagues draw the notion of “healthy lifespan” – the time that people or animals stay active and counteract stress as they age.

In the coming decades, old-age illnesses are expected to place even more burdens on health systems. As a result, there is an increased interest in the health effects of microbes living in the human body. ”

We still do not know how the intestinal microbe exerts its effects, but now we are at least aware of one of the mechanisms. Indole, which is beneficial in many ways, is produced by various types of bacteria by degrading the amino acid tryptophan, “says Professor Daniel Kalman.
