Growing up on the farm, I was “selective” about which veggies I would eat. However, as an adult, one of my goals became eating a consistently healthy diet with the most nutritious foods available. So – broccoli, brussel sprouts, spinach and kale were tastes which I acquired in adulthood – and which I now love. I eat at least one large serving – often two of these –  every day. Upon seeing the title of this video, I was interested in learning more, as I have been following the research related to “air quality and health” since the late 90’s. – Susan Troyer

Doctor’s Note

I’ve been reading about the terrible effects of air pollution for a long time and am thrilled there’s something we can do other than uprooting our families and moving out to the countryside.

Prolonged Liver Function Enhancement from Broccoli is the previous video I referred to.

For more on cruciferocity, see my videos Lung Cancer Metastases and Broccoli and Breast Cancer Survival Vegetable.

There’s a secret to maximizing broccoli’s benefits. See Second Strategy to Cooking Broccoli.

What about broccoli sprout pills? See Broccoli: Sprouts vs. Supplements.

Speaking of respiratory inflammation, what about dietary approaches to asthma? Learn more:

There are sources of indoor pollution, too. See Throw Household Products Off the Scent.

There’s one way what we eat can directly impact air pollution, beyond just personal protection. Check out Diet and Climate Change: Cooking Up a Storm.
