Seoul Glow Broccoli Tofu Bowl

Why This Works: Broccoli's sulforaphane compounds with tofu's isoflavones and sesame oil's lignans—create a powerful anti-inflammatory trio. The garlic adds allicin for immune support, while sesame seeds provide healthy fats and minerals that help reduce oxidative stress.
