Eat your broccoli, UCLA study concludes

LOS ANGELES A new study conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles, revealed that eating broccoli can boost one’s immune system.

The results, published in this week’s Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, had shown that there is a chemical in the vegetable that create antioxidant genes and enzymes in specific immune cells, making it easier for the body to fight off disease. A lack of such benefits can cause the body to age rapidly.

“Our study contributes to the growing understanding of the importance of these antioxidant defense pathways that the body uses to fight free radicals,” said Andre Nel, a practicing clinical allergist and immunologist at the Geffen School of Medicine. “Insight into these processes point to ways in which we may be able to alleviate the effects of aging.”
