Cabbage: The Unsung Hero of Digestive Health

Cabbage is one of the most accessible vegetables around. You can easily purchase it as a whole head or in ready-to-eat packages. This availability is crucial because cabbage is particularly important for the body from a health standpoint, and it is strongly recommended for daily consumption to maintain good health and proper body function.

Cabbage is one of the most nutritious vegetables, primarily due to its unique action in increasing bone density, protecting against cancerous growths, and strengthening the immune, respiratory, and skin systems. It boasts numerous health benefits, some of which are well-known while others might surprise you, making it highly recommended to explore these benefits.

Cabbage contains a high concentration of Vitamin C, which aids in developing the human immune system, as well as carotene family vitamins. The unique compound in cabbage, indol 3 cardinol, has been proven to be an antioxidant and helps prevent arteriosclerosis.

The nutritional values of cabbage are particularly significant: one cup of chopped cabbage contains 50 mg of available calcium, just like milk. Cabbage also contains Vitamin K, and the hormone calcitonin, which is responsible for bone regulation and building. It includes phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc, and other minerals associated with bone construction, making it highly recommended to include cabbage in your daily calcium intake, especially at a young age when calcium absorption is at its peak.

Cabbage also heals ulcers in the digestive system, stomach, and intestines because of its high concentration of L-glutamine. Half a cup of cabbage juice on an empty stomach is effective for healing ulcers. Cabbage eases discomfort for nursing mothers and can be applied to the body to alleviate issues of congestion, inflammation, and the like. Additionally, when there is swelling in the body, like in the knees, placing a leaf on the area and wrapping it can make the pain and swelling disappear. Cabbage is also good for detoxifying the body and for weight loss, making it a vital component of various weight-loss diets.

It should be noted that individuals with underactive thyroid should avoid eating cabbage, as it inhibits iodine absorption in the body.
