\nStir-frying is popular in Oriental cuisine,
\nand this involves the application of dry heat
\nto foods, cooking them in little oil and stirring
\nthem in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Chinese cuisine became popular all over the
\nworld, so did stir-frying. For a Chinese restaurant
\nflavor, add a tsp. of sesame oil.

 <\/p>\n

Final Reminders on the Stir-Fry Marinade
\n<\/strong><\/span>The stir-fry marinade, a combination of raw honey and
\norganic soy sauce, is a delicious sweet-and-savory blend
\nthat brings out the flavors of the broccoli florets and lima
\nbeans. However, keep these caveats in mind when
\npreparing the marinade:<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite its many health benefits, use raw honey in
\nmoderation. It contains fructose, which can worsen
\ninsulin resistance and lead to other complications if
\ningested in large amounts. <\/span>Always choose organic
\nsoy sauce, like Kikkoman: Although soy sauce is
\ntraditionally fermented, some conventional variants are
\nmade using chemical processes by hydrolyzing soy
\nprotein and combining it with flavorings and artificial
\ncolorings.22 As such, use only organic Kikkoman soy
\nsauce (or other certified organic varieties) that\u2019s additive-
\nfree, or wheat-free (especially if you have
\na wheat sensitivity).<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: Garlic<\/strong> is a powerful source of nutrition that is
\ngreat for the body in many ways. It may be one of the
\nmost traditional remedies to kill parasites and <\/span>reducing
\nunwanted microbes in the gut. G<\/span>arlic contains powerful<\/span>
\nantimicrobial properties against bacteria, fungi, viruses,
\nand <\/span>parasites.<\/span>\u00a0I<\/span>t is best to eat fresh garlic that <\/span>has been
\nsmashed or chopped.<\/span><\/p>\n

=================================<\/span><\/p>\n

*Health Benefits of Organic Broccoli<\/strong><\/span>
\n Bright green and crunchy broccoli provides a contrast to
\nthe savory pepper strips, and it also imparts many nutrients
\nthat can positively impact your health, including: Fiber: It
\naids in nourishing gut microbiome, strengthening immune
\nsystem function and reducing the risk for inflammatory
\ndiseases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fiber can also activate a gene called T-bet that\u2019s
\nimportant for producing innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in
\nthe lining of the digestive tract. <\/strong>ILCs aid in maintaining a
\nbalance between immunity and inflammation in the body, and
\nproduce the interleukin-22 hormone that helps protect the body
\nfrom pathogenic bacteria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sulforaphane: is a naturally occurring organic sulfur
\ncompound known immune stimulant and anti-inflammatory,
\nthat promotes production of enzymes that protect blood
\nvessels, and lowers the amount of reactive oxygen species
\n(ROS) that cause cell damage in the body by as much as
\n73 percent.<\/strong>
\nIt may help raise testosterone levels, prevent body fat retention, detox
\ncarcinogens,\u00a0 block enzymes linked to joint destruction, and protect
\nmuscles against exercise-induced damage. Glucoraphanin: This
\nglucosinolate precursor of sulforaphane is highly abundant in
\nbroccoli sprouts may help eliminate free radicals and aid with inhibiting
\ninflammation, thereby reducing the risk of asthma, type 2 diabetes
\nand heart disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phenolic acids also work as a defender against infections<\/strong>,
\nand combat ROS linked to atherosclerosis and neurodegenerative
\ndiseases like Parkinson\u2019s and Alzheimer\u2019s. Diindolylmethane (DIM):
\nThis is produced by the body when it breaks down cruciferous vegetables
\nlike broccoli. enhancing immune system health. That may help improve
\nmitochondrial health and energy metabolism.<\/span><\/p>\n

NAD is a vital compound because it has shown to slow
\ndown age-related health decline<\/strong>
\nby restoring the body\u2019s metabolism to more youthful levels.<\/span>
\n There are two things to look for when buying organic broccoli: firm
\nstalks and tight, green florets. Select broccoli that feels heavy for its
\nsize; its cut ends should be fresh and moist-looking. Avoid broccoli
\nwith dried out or browning stem ends or yellowing florets. At home,
\nstore broccoli unwashed in an open plastic bag in the refrigerator.
\nVery fresh broccoli can keep up to 10 days.<\/span><\/p>\n
