A powerful secret hidden in Broccoli 🥦

This little green tree vegetable can literally make your muscles grow bigger by deactivating myostatin.

How this works:
Myostatin is a compound produced by skeletal muscle which acts as a “brake pedal” to stop muscles from growing too much.

Everyone produces myostatin at different rates depending on their genetics, and it’s part of the reason some of us have trouble building muscle as quickly as we’d like to.

Broccoli contains a compound called glucoraphanin as well as the enzyme myrosinase. When blended together, these two ingredients bond & form sulforaphane which epigenetically suppresses myostatin.

But there’s a trick to ensuring these two ingredients blend appropriately. The broccoli must be chopped and only lightly steamed but not exposed to too much heat. Boiling or microwaving it will destroy the enzymes.
