i’ve done a lot of videos on cruciferous  vegetables but there’s one cruciferous  

that i haven’t really talked about so i wanted to  create a video on it and it’s the watercress plant  

watercress it’s a fascinating plant it has some  serious phytonutrients isothiocyanates it has  

sulfurophanes which are very anti-cancer and when  you combine them with vitamin c in this plant  

it supports your collagen and elastin to make you  look younger it also has zeaxanthin and lutein  

which adds material to help filter that blue  light that is very damaging to our eyes and skin  

in fact it decreases the risk of something  called age-related macular degeneration it’s  

extremely nutrient dense it has tremendous amounts  of vitamin k1 which is like helps you with the  

clotting factor if you have internal bleeding it  has manganese which is a co helper vitamin that  

helps with making certain proteins in their  body it also is a good source of vitamin c  

vitamin e beta carotene it also has nitrates which  have nothing to do with the preservative they put  

in like bacon and sausage and things like that but  these naturally occurring nitrates are really good  

for the inside of your arteries they help make  the arteries less stiff they help keep your blood  

pressure from going too high and nitrates are  really good for exercise performance if you’re  

an athlete they help oxygen flow to the blood  and other tissues so you may want to seriously
