Broccoli
Though some kids dread the moment their parents say they can’t leave the table until they finish their broccoli, we hate to admit it, but these little green cauliflower monsters are packed with heart-healthy nutrition. Now we find every excuse to fill our salads, pastas and stir fries with these hearty vegetables. In fact, broccoli can help reduce cholesterol, keep blood vessels strong and contains sulforaphane, an anti-inflammatory which can prevent chronic blood sugar problems.
