Broccoli is one of those cruciferous vegetables that are thought to confer many health benefits due to being high in dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients (phytochemicals).

Consuming broccoli is positively associated with heart, bone, eye, circulatory and nervous systems health.  Broccoli is also thought to help prevent certain forms of cancer, boosting immune health and brain function, and regulating blood pressure.  Broccoli (together with other cruciferous veggies and leafy greens) is almost always "prescribed" for weight loss.
