WHY THIS MATTERS
Cancer now affects ~1 in 2 men and ~1 in 3 women over a lifetime. Prevention isn’t optional—your body needs real, science-backed support. Enter broccoli sprouts: a compact, affordable food naturally rich in sulforaphane, a compound shown to activate your body’s own defense systems (detox enzymes, antioxidant pathways, DNA repair, inflammation control).

QUICK START (BUY / GROW / EAT)
• Where to buy: Many health-food grocers + organic markets (look near microgreens/alfalfa sprouts).
• How to grow: Mason jar + sprouting lid + broccoli sprout seeds. Soak 2–3 Tbsp seeds 8–12 hrs; drain; then rinse & drain 2× daily. Keep jar tilted for airflow. Harvest on day 4–5 when the majority are green and ~1–2 inches long. Refrigerate after drying.
• How much: Aim for ~½ cup (a small handful) daily.
• How to eat: Toss on salads, grain bowls, eggs, or sandwiches; or blend into smoothies. Mild peppery bite (like radish).
• Potency tip: Sulforaphane is formed when myrosinase (the sprout enzyme) meets its precursor glucoraphanin. Chew well or lightly chop. If heating any brassicas, add a pinch of mustard powder (extra myrosinase) after cooking to restore sulforaphane formation.

WHY SPROUTS PACK A PUNCH (PLAIN-ENGLISH PHYSIOLOGY)
• Nrf2 switch: Sulforaphane activates Nrf2, up-regulating cellular defenses (phase-II detox enzymes, antioxidant systems) like turning on a SWAT team for your cells.
• Detox & DNA support: Helps your body neutralize and excrete a range of airborne and dietary toxins; supports DNA repair and healthy cell turnover.
• Epigenetics: Acts like a piano tuner for your genes—helping the “right keys” (protective genes) play while quieting the wrong ones (pro-tumor pathways).
• Inflammation: Helps modulate chronic inflammation—one of the terrain factors linked to multiple diseases.

IMPORTANT NOTES / SAFETY
• Food-safety: Raw sprouts can carry bacterial risk. Use tested sprouting seeds, sanitize jars/lids, rinse diligently, and refrigerate promptly. Consider lightly blanching if immunocompromised/pregnant (note this can reduce myrosinase activity).
• Thyroid: Large amounts of raw crucifers may not be ideal if you have untreated iodine deficiency or thyroid issues—discuss with your clinician.
• Medications/conditions: This video is educational only and not medical advice. If you have a medical condition or take prescription meds (e.g., anticoagulants), talk to your healthcare professional.

HOW TO MAKE THIS A HABIT
• Keep a jar rotating so a fresh batch is ready weekly.
• Prep a go-to meal (e.g., eggs + avocado + sprouts, or a daily smoothie).
• Pair sprouts with colorful plants (berries, herbs) for synergistic benefits.
