Can cruciferous vegetables help prevent heart disease?

When we don't eat cruciferous greens such as kale, cabbage, collards, broccoli, cauliflower, and turnips, one of the most important natural defense systems in the cell (NRF-2—antioxidant response elements, or ARE) does not function. The NRF-2 factor is responsible for preventing deposits of plaque in the inside of blood vessels. The endothelial cells that line the blood vessels prevent adhesion by fat deposits when NRF-2 is activated.

Green vegetables are so important for heart health and even to promote reversal of heart disease because they activate the NRF-2 factor. The NRF-2 then changes the proteins expressed on the endothelial cell membranes that prevents the atherosclerosis deposits from binding there. Activating NRF-2 is especially critical to coronary vessels at bifurcation or curves with increased pressure where plaque is more likely to build.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
