The 10 Healthiest Foods on the Planet: #2

Broccoli

Why It's Healthy:
• One medium stalk of broccoli contains more than 100 percent of your daily vitamin K requirement and almost 200 percent of your recommended daily dose of vitamin C
• Broccoli has two essential bone-building nutrients.
• The same serving also helps stave off numerous cancers.

Quick Tip:
Zap it! Preserve up to 90 percent of broccoli's vitamin C by microwaving. (Steaming or boiling holds on to just 66 percent of the nutrient.)
