Broccoli has high levels of beta-carotene and omega-3 fatty acids not to mention an abundance of fiber and antioxidants. The combination of these nutrients can help lower bad LDL cholesterol levels. Therefore, eating broccoli can improve your overall heart health. If you steam broccoli, it allows the fiber to combine with bile better. When you reduce bile, it can lower your cholesterol levels, too.
