Visceral fat: Eating cruciferous vegetables could help slash excess weight

Moreover, people who eat cruciferous vegetables may be more likely than people who don’t to have other healthy behaviours that reduce disease risk.

Ultimately, maintaining a healthy weight and eating a balanced healthy diet reduces your risk of a number of health problems.

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) says that coronary heart disease is the UK’s single “biggest killer”, noting that being overweight or obese can “increase your risk of coronary heart disease”.

It adds: “Research shows that reaching and keeping to a healthy weight can cut your risk because it helps prevent and manage conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes that put you at greater risk of coronary heart disease.”
