Cabbage is very nutritious and chock-full of vitamin K, vitamin C, and fibre. Also, some research shows that it may help digestion, make the heart healthier, and reduce inflammation.
Cabbage is a member of the cruciferous plant family and has many health benefits. It is a round, leafy vegetable made of stacked layers of leaves. There are many kinds of cabbage on the market, like red cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and white and green cabbage, which are the most common. The green cabbages are the most common ones to find.
Cabbage is a good food choice for people. It is low in carbohydrates and calories and high in fibre and nutrients.The fibre in cabbage can help regulate blood sugar levels and lower the risk of heart disease, which is often a complication of diabetes. Additionally, cabbage contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that help reduce inflammation and improve overall health.
1. Stops inflammation :- Anthocyanins are antioxidants that are found naturally in cabbage and are responsible for some of its health benefits. Anthocyanins not only give fruits and vegetables like blueberries their colour, but they may also help reduce inflammation. Long-term swelling, or chronic inflammation, is linked to heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and other health problems.
2. Boosts immunity :- Vitamin C, which is also called ascorbic acid, helps your body in many ways. It makes collagen and makes your immune system stronger. It also helps your body get iron from foods that come from plants.
3. Keeps digestie system healthy :- Cabbage is full of phytosterols (plant sterols) and insoluble fibre, which can keep your digestion healthy and your bowel movements regular. It gives energy to the good gut bacteria that keep your immune system healthy and make nutrients you need. This is particularly true when you eat kimchi or sauerkraut, which are made from fermented cabbage.
4. Keeps heart healthy :- Cabbage's anthocyanins assist with more than just inflammation. Research shows that they add to cabbage's health benefits by making you less likely to get heart disease. Scientists have found 36 types of anthocyanins in cabbage, which might also make it a good choice for heart health.
5. Your blood pressure goes down :- Potassium is a mineral and an electrolyte which assists the body in regulating blood pressure. One cup of red cabbage could indeed give you up to 6% of the amount of potassium you should get every day. This could assist with lowering your blood pressure, which could make you less likely to get heart disease.
6. Cuts down on cholesterol :- If "bad" cholesterol builds up in your arteries, it can hurt your heart. Fiber and phytosterols are two things in cabbage which compete with cholesterol to be soaked up by your digestive system. They end up lowering the amount of bad cholesterol in your body and making you healthier.
7. Helps bones stay healthy and blood clot well :- Vitamin K is important for your health. Without it, you could get bone diseases like osteoporosis and your blood wouldn't clot the way it should. Here comes cabbage, which has a lot of vitamin K. With one cup, you get 85% of the daily value.
