A compound present in broccoli could help prevent or slow the progression of the most common form of arthritis , according to research conducted by scientists at the University of East Anglia in the UK .
The results of a laboratory study showed that sulforaphane slows the destruction of joint cartilage from OA. The researchers found that mice that received a diet rich in this compound had fewer problems with cartilage and osteoarthritis than those who did not consume .
Sulforaphane is released when we eat cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower or brussel sprouts , but especially broccoli, the researchers said . Previous research had shown that sulforaphane has anti- cancer and anti-inflammatory properties, but this is the first large-scale study on its effects on joint health , said the scientific team.
The researchers found that sulforaphane blocking enzymes that resulted in the destruction of joints by stopping a key molecule that is a source of ignition.
