Women in this study who consumed more than 45g of cruciferous vegetables every day were 46 per cent less likely to have an extensive build-up of calcium on their aorta in comparison to those consuming little to no cruciferous vegetables every day.
"That's not to say the only vegetables we should be eating are broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. We should be eating a wide variety of vegetables every day for overall good health and wellbeing," the study author wrote.
The research team said it was important to note the study team was very grateful to these Western Australian women, without whom these important findings would not be available for others. "While observational in nature this study design is central to progressing human health," they noted.
