The Goods on Brussel Sprouts

They might not be everyone’s favourite vegetable to eat, but chances are they have shown up in at least one of your Thanksgiving family dinners. Here’s the good news about this low-calorie coniferous veggie: brussel sprouts contain an entire day’s serving of vitamin K which is necessary in order for your blood to clot. Brussel sprouts also helps maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels as well as keeping you regular. Here’s to a Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
