Brussels sprouts are extremely rich in nutrients. They are great for joints and help with osteoporosis. They also help lower bad cholesterol, increase good cholesterol, cleanse the liver and other cleansing organs like the spleen. Brussels sprouts also help purify the blood.
As one of the most powerful liver detoxifying foods, Brussels sprouts contain a wide variety of chemical compounds and phytonutrients. The sulfur compounds found specifically in Brussels sprouts are different from those found in other members of the cruciferous family because they come from the large mother stem from which the small sprouts grow. This is one of the most powerful and beneficial forms of sulfur for the liver, having the ability to dissolve hardened storage cells of toxins and inherited problematic pollutants.
The sulfur in Brussels sprouts has the unique ability to bind to any toxin and safely remove it from the liver – whether through the kidneys, bile ducts or intestinal tract – and remain bound to it until it is completely eliminated from the body. This is a true nutritional rarity!
