Health and fertility benefits of Vegetable Bisque

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. We don't have any research on Asparagus as a fertility food yet. Please leave your review below if you are able to provide details about asparagus. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
