Health Benefits of Cabbage

Cabbage, a cruciferous vegetable, is packed with numerous health benefits.

It is low in calories but high in fiber, making it a great addition to a healthy diet. Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and vitamin B6, which are essential for immune function, bone health, and brain function. It is also rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients, such as sulforaphane, which have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.

Cabbage is known to support digestive health, promote heart health, and assist with weight management.

Additionally, cabbage is a good source of minerals like potassium and calcium, as well as being a natural source of hydration due to its high water content. Including cabbage in your diet can contribute to overall health and well-being.
