Scientists have discovered that eating broccoli, packed with a health-boosting compound called 'glucoraphanin', helps maintain cellular processes that can cause deadly conditions like obesity and some cancers.

Researchers at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich created the super-strength variety called Beneforte in 2010.

However, after further research it was found that the vegetable works to fight major diseases by helping people's metabolism work well, the Daily Express reported.

The study is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
