The Benefits of Brussels Sprouts — There Are Many!

-Brussels sprouts contain a unique combo of cancer-fighting phytonutrients called glucosinates, making it an important food for chronic disease prevention.
-High in fiber, Brussels sprouts are great for the digestive tract. They help reduce cholesterol and may reduce the risk of colon cancer.
-The nutrients in Brussels sprouts offer a powerful mix of cardiovascular, detox, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory support.
A great way to eat brussels sprouts: Sauté them with garlic, onion, and pancetta, and then pan-braise them with a splash of balsamic and chicken stock.
