Health and fertility benefits of Spicy Garlic Broccoli Rabe
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.
Ingredients
1 1/2 lb. broccoli rabe
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
3 clove garlic
1/2 tsp. crushed hot red pepper flakes
