This recipe is my soul food! When I first tried it I was like OMG…OMG. It has become my favorite recipe and I love to meal prep it for school whenever I have school until noon. It just makes me so happy when I eat it. You can add any other veggies as well, but I think Broccoli goes best with it!
Broccoli and Blood pressure
Magnesium has a positive effect on blood pressure. About 25 milligrams are contained in 100 grams of broccoli. The mineral is not only important for muscles and bones, but also has a relaxing effect on the vascular muscle cells – and thus lowers blood pressure.
The vitamins of the B group, which are abundant in the green vegetables, improve stress resistance. The high vitamin C content has a regulating effect on vascular pressure. The rare vitamin K, in turn, stabilises blood clotting, improves blood flow and prevents thrombosis.
