Fight cancer with Brussels Sprouts!  People often ask me if there are any foods they can eat to help prevent cancer.  It’s a great question.  Most of the research available study what foods not to eat to avoid cancer. As a cruciferous vegetable, Brussels Sprouts are one of only a handful of foods that have been shown to fight cancer. Brussels sprouts boast high levels of many nutrients that have been linked to a host of health benefits including decreased risk of diabetes, decrease inflammation, and protection against osteoporosis. For those of you who don’t like fish (or cannot eat fish) Brussels Sprouts are a good source of ALA omega-3 fatty acids, which play a role in brain, heart, and immune health.

So, join the fight against cancer and try the Bacon and Balsamic Brussels Sprouts on Tuesday at Oliver’s!
