Why DNA methylation Is Important for our body?

DNA methylation is  very important biochemical reaction for cell function in our body. The process by which a methyl group (one carbon atom attached to three hydrogen atoms) is added to part of a DNA molecule is known as DNA methylation reaction.
DNA methylation is so much important reaction in regulating gene expression for an individual.
Another so and so much important information is that DNA methylation reaction does not allow the expression of the genes which are related for various harmful and fatal disease such as viral and other disease-related genes.
Abnormal DNA methylation is responsible for many disease which are caused by poorly developed gene. It may also cause cancer.

In this case the vegetable named broccoli play a very crucial role for development of strong gene structure by better DNA methylation. Broccoli has shown to inhibit Helicobacter pylori (the bacteria thought to cause gastric ulcers).
The sulforaphane ( sulforaphane is present in broccoli ) plays a vital  role in activating more than 200 different genes in our body actively.
Broccoli also protects men from prostate cancer.
Kidney dysfunction may also caused by disturbance in DNA methylation.
So eat broccoli and keep your body disease free.

Can Broccoli help us to solve vitamin D deficiency?

Vitamin D is very essential for our health because vitamin D gives support to our bone and teeth. Intestinal absorption of calcium is done by this vitamin D. So the possibility of fracture of bone is reduced, the risk of osteoporosis also reduced after absorption of Ca. A lots of researches have done on vitamin D and also lots of researches are running on this essential vitamin. Some research studies have said that vitamin D can prevent the activities of cancer causing cells. Vitamin D has good performance against the breast cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer. Vitamin D is also good for cardiovascular health. Vitamin D is needed by all aged people.

Now it is a question ''Can Broccoli help us to solve vitamin D deficiency?''
Without having any doubt in mind we can say ''obviously yes''. This vegetable helps us not only to solve the vitamin D deficiency but also it heap us Vitamin D is needed in epidemic. If there is a need of large supplemental doses of vitamin D to offset deficiency, in this case vitamin K and vitamin A help us to keep our vitamin D metabolism in balance in our body. A strong combination of both vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene) and vitamin K is present in broccoli in abundant. The people who wants to  rebuild vitamin D stores through vitamin D supplements, they can eat Broccoli as salad. It will be better for them. Broccoli can provide sufficient amount of vitamin D at raw stage and also at boiled stage.
Broccoli is a ideal vegetable for us because it provides not only vitamin D but also other vitamins such as vitamin A, Vitamin C, vitamin K vitamin B-complex and other necessary vitamins. Broccoli provides different components that can fight against different cancers.

How does broccoli improve our body's detoxification system?
Ans: The three glucosinolate phytonutrients substance  present in broccoli (they are Glucoraphanin, gluconasturtiian, and glucobrassicin) work together and this  trio is can support all the reactions of our body’s detox process properly. The process of activation, neutralization, and elimination of unwanted contaminants is helped by this trio. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) which  are knowns as  the detox-regulating molecules produced from broccoli's glucosinolates. At a genetic level, Isothiocyanates (ITCs) help to control the detox process. In this way Broccoli improves our body's detoxification system.
So have a nice meal with Broccoli.
