Here's Why You Must Add Mustard Seeds While Cooking Cruciferous Vegetables
Cruciferous vegetables are well-known for their cancer-fighting properties. These foods are generally low in calories and rich in fibre, folate and vitamins C, E and K. Additionally, cruciferous vegetables are a good source of beneficial plant compounds that contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. When consumed regularly, cruciferous vegetables are linked with lower rates of many chronic diseases, including cancer and heart disease. Some common cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, bok choy, Brussels sprouts and others. Cruciferous vegetables typically possess anti-inflammatory properties. However, you can boost these properties by adding one simple ingredient during their preparation. Keep reading to know how. In an Instagram video, Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist trained at AIIMS, Harvard, and Stanford Universities shared some food combinations that can do wonders to your health. He revealed that adding adding mustard seeds while preparing cruciferous vegetables can maximise their anti-inflammatory properties. "If you add mustard seeds while cooking cruciferous veggies like cabbage and cauliflower, the enzymes boost sulforaphane which is a natural anti-inflammatory compound," he said in the video. Mustard seeds are also highly anti-inflammatory. They are also rich in several essential vitamins and minerals such as copper, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, manganese, vitamin C, vitamin B6, folic acid and selenium. In the video, Dr. Sethi shared a few more power food combinations including: Black pepper and curcumin: The piperine in pepper boosts curcumin absorption by 2000%. Lemon and green tea: The vitamin C in lemon helps absorb more antioxidants from green tea. Blueberries and walnuts: The polyphenols (blueberries) and Omega-3 (walnuts) team up to protect your brain. Cocoa and coffee: The caffeine and theobromine boost mood, focus and clarity. Chia seeds, basil seeds and yogurt: The fibre and antioxidants can skyrocket your gut health.

Last Updated: Aleksandar Alex shared a new picture with Natasa Stankovic from their workout session, but their matching gym clothes caught fans' attention. Natasa Stankovic has been in the spotlight since she and Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya split in 2024. Even after parting ways, they continue to raise their son, Agastya, together. In recent months, Natasa has been seen spending time with Aleksandar Alex. While they say they are just good friends, many think something's brewing between them.

Natasa Stankovic faced a tough time after her separation from Hardik Pandya. In a past interview with ETimes, she opened up about how the year was filled with ups and downs. The actress said, 'Last year was quite challenging and I am grateful for it. As we grow wiser while going through challenges, and I just love it. Had many experiences (good and bad), so I believe that we mature with experiences and not with age." Speaking about finding love, she adds, 'As I look to the year ahead, I am definitely open to new experiences, opportunities and maybe love. I am not averse to it (falling in love). I want to embrace whatever life brings my way. I believe that the right connection happens naturally when the time is right. I value meaningful relationships, the ones that are built on trust and understanding. I think love should compliment my journey and not define it." Natasa Stankovic shared that the difficult moments in her life have taught her some important lessons. She said that things don't always happen the way we hope, but what matters is how we deal with those situations. She also believes that trying to prove others wrong only brings more stress.
