Health and fertility benefits of No-Fuss Hummus

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

1 teaspoon grated garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons water, or as needed
Veggies (such as carrot and celery sticks, bell pepper strips, and broccoli florets)
