roccoli has become a gold medal contend- er among vegetables, so how often should we eat it to reap all of its health benefits? Eliza- beth Jeffery, a University of Illinois professor of nutritional sciences, explains: “Broccoli, pre- pared correctly, is an extremely potent cancer- fighting agent—three to five servings a week are enough to have an effect. To get broccoli’s benefits, though, the enzyme myrosinase has to be present; if not, sulforaphane, broccoli’s cancer-preventive and anti-inflammatory com- ponent, doesn’t form.” According to Jeffery, myrosinase is often
destroyed by overcooking. Health-conscious consumers that use broccoli powder supple- ments in recipes to boost their nutrition also are missing out, she says, because the supple- ments often do not contain the needed enzyme. A solution: Jeffery suggests incorporating fresh broccoli sprouts into our
diet. Available at most grocery and health food stores, the sprouts contain abundant myrosinase.

ELECTROMAGNETIC THERAPY LIFTS THE BLUES
A
study published in the journal Brain Stimulation, involving 301
patients, found that transcranial mag- netic stimulation (TMS) non-invasive therapy can be an effective, long- term treatment for major depression. TMS works by delivering a series of electrical pulses to the part of the brain associated with depression and other mood disorders. This generates an electric current in the brain that stimulates neurons to increase the release of mood-enhancing chemi- cals such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. TMS has been approved by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration and can be performed on an outpa- tient basis in a psychiatrist’s office.
