14 DAY TRIAL // Researchers at the University of East Anglia say that, according to their investigations, people who are starting to develop arthritis can slow the progression of this medical conditions by eating broccoli.
They argue that a chemical compound found in broccoli, i.e. sulforaphane, keeps the cartilages of arthritis patients from being destroyed at a fairly rapid pace.
The result is that the joints feel less painful than they normally would.
According to Daily Mail, the researchers have thus far tested the theory that sulforaphane slows the destruction of cartilages on lab-grown cells, tissue and even mice.
However, they are confident that their findings also hold true for humans.
“The results from this study are very promising. We have shown that this works in the three laboratory models we have tried, in cartilage cells, tissue and mice.”
“We now want to show this works in humans. It would be very powerful if we could,” researcher Ian Clark believes.
