Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, and is closely related to cauliflower. Its cultivation originated in Italy. Broccolo, its Italian name, means “cabbage sprout.” Because of its different components, broccoli provides a range of tastes and textures, from soft and flowery (the floret) to fibrous and crunchy (the stem and stalk). Broccoli contains glucosinolates, phytochemicals which break down to compounds called indoles and isothiocyanates (such as sulphoraphane). Broccoli also contains the carotenoid, lutein. Broccoli is an excellent source of the vitamins K, C, and A, as well as folate and fiber. Broccoli is a very good source of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and the vitamins B6 and E.

DESCRIPTION: The yellow pigment curcumin in the spice turmeric may work as good or better than anti-inflammatory drugs and pain killers for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

What about rheumatoid arthritis? That was my last video, Turmeric Curcumin and Rheumatoid (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-rheumatoid-arthritis). Next, I’ll cover Boosting the Bioavailability of Curcumin (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin) and then end with some caveats (Who Shouldn’t Consume Curcumin or Turmeric, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-consume-curcumin-or-turmeric).

I think the only other video I have on osteoarthritis is Rose Hips for Osteoarthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-osteoarthritis-treatment).

Those unfamiliar with the China study should read it (https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54905518)! I also mention it in my video China Study on Sudden Cardiac Death (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/china-study-on-sudden-cardiac-death/).

If, as described, oxidative stress and inflammation both play a role in joint inflammation, then that may help explain the role of turmeric. See my recent videos Which Spices Fight Inflammation? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-spices-fight-inflammation) and Spicing Up DNA Protection (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/spicing-up-dna-protection).

I’d also add nuts (Fighting Inflammation in a Nut Shell, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/fighting-inflammation-in-a-nut-shell/) and mushrooms (Boosting Immunity While Reducing Inflammation, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-immunity-while-reducing-inflammation/) to the list of anti-inflammatory plant foods.
