Whole food(herbal medicine) used as medical treatment, linking health

benefits in prevention, management and treatment of diseases has induced
much interests in today renowned scientists.
But many researchers have raised question of herbal quality, because
geographic differences, time of grown and harvest, etc. may effect their's
potency. I do believe, these questions can only be answered by experience
herbalists.

People who have eaten cruciferous vegetable regularly may be beneficiary for
reduced risk of cardiovascular disease by 15.8%, a renowned study suggested.

In the review of the association between the consumption of green leafy

vegetables and risk of incidence of said diseases, intake of cruciferous
vegetable is inversely associated to the incidences of total cardiovascular
disease.

Cruciferous vegetables are the group of vegetables belonging to the family

Brassicaceae, including cauliflower, cabbage, cress, bok choy, broccoli etc.

Heart disease kills more than 2,000 Americans everyday. Approximately 60

million Americans have heart disease. There are many causes of heart disease.
Anything that serves to damage the inner lining of blood vessels and impedes
the transportation of oxygen and nutrition to the heart can be defined as a risk
of heart disease. Here are some early indication of heart disease symptoms:

In the study of cruciferous vegetables and its Role in Chronic Diseases, Indole-
3-Carbinol, the chemical found only in the vegetable exerted several biological
activities on cellular and molecular levels in prevention of the cancer and
chronic illness such as cardiovascular disease.

Furthermore, the joint study lead by the The First Hospital of Jilin University,
also suggested that sulforaphane, a chemical found in cruciferous vegetable
exhibited protection against cardiovascular disease through its antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory properties in reduction of oxidate stress, namely activation
of Nrf2 in regulated the expression of antioxidant.

Dr. Bai Y, the lead author in the study said, " Several studies have highlighted
the cardinal role played by the overproduction of reactive oxygen or nitrogen
species in the pathogenesis of ischemic myocardial damage and consequent
cardiac dysfunction".

Taking together, there is no doubt that intake of cruciferous vegetable regularly

is associated to reduced risk and treatment of cardiovascular disease. But in
order to achieve the maximum benefits, moderate exercise accompanied with
change of diet and life style are necessary.
