More than
473 studies have examined the role of this cruciferous vegetable in cancer
prevention(and in some cases, cancer treatment). Study from Poland, showing
impressive reduction of breast cancer risk in women consuming large amounts of
cabbage. (In this particular study, this reduction in risk was associated with
consumption of at least 4 cabbage servings per week, in comparison with the
once per-week serving consumed by women with higher breast cancer risk).

Cabbage
juice helps in healing stomach ulcers(called peptic ulcer). Cabbage is rich in
vitamin K, cabbage provides 85 percent of the body’s daily requirement. This is
very important, not only for bone metabolism, but as a known Alzheimer’s
disease preventative by limiting neuronal damage in the brain. The 54 percent
daily value of vitamin C supplied to the body with one serving of cabbage is
impressive, too-even more than oranges- which can help scavenge harmful,
pro-inflammatory free radicals and protect against infection.

Cabbage
is also an excellent source of fiber, vitamin B6, folate, and
manganese, as well as healthy amounts of thiamin(vitamin B1),
pyridoxine(vitamin B5). It also provides iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium
for strong bones, and potassium for regulating the heart rate and blood
pressure. (Silberstein & Parsons, 2010).
