For example, there have been studies that found vegetables that are a member of the Brassicaceae family (also called Cruciferae) can help in the prevention of cancers.

They also protect against cardiovascular diseases and high blood pressure and contain bone development benefits because they provide the perfect balance of calcium and magnesium needed for healthy bones.

Some of their benefits include:

Vitamin C: is essential for the immune system.
Beta-carotene: is an antioxidant that helps fight cancer cells
Phenols: an anti-inflammatory compound that helps fight chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
Potassium: can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack by reducing the buildup of plaque in the arteries.
