Oxidative stress is caused when you exercise very hard or whenever you have problems breathing, such as during an asthma attack. Broccoli microgreens help you to absorb oxygen better; reducing the stress placed on your body when the oxygen supply is limited.

Better absorption of oxygen means that your organs and muscles will get the oxygen and nutrients they need to work efficiently.
