Health and fertility benefits of Linguini with Broccoli and Red Peppers

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.

1 pound fresh broccoli, chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
