Love your broccoli and it loves you back! New research shows this cruciferous veggie may give you lifesaving advantages if you suffer a heart attack.

Animals given broccoli extract in addition to their regular diet had three advantages over animals that didn’t get the extract: 

•    They sustained less heart muscle damage when their hearts were deprived of oxygen.
•    They had higher levels of heart-protecting biochemicals during oxygen deprivation.
•    Their hearts pumped better.

Since oxygen deprivation occurs during a heart attack, together, these things could help you survive one. (Mukherjee, S Et al. J Agric. Food Chem, 2006, 56:609-617.)

The Anti-Aging Bottom Line: 1 in every 5 U.S. deaths is from a heart attack! But there are natural options to protect yourself and increase your chances of surviving a heart attack. Make broccoli a part of your weekly menu for its heart and cancer protective properties.
