Cabbage has anti-inflammatory properties as well as antioxidant properties, which are very good for the overall health.

Good Source of Minerals – Cabbage is a good source of minerals like potassium, manganese, magnesium and iron. All of which can boost the immune system.

It is good for your skin - cabbage contains Vitamin C and beta-carotene which are anti-aging compounds. These two antioxidants protect the skin by repairing cells that have been damaged by free radicals (cancer causing substances).

Beta-Carotene – supports the immune system by helping to stimulate the thymus glands which fight off infections and viruses as well as helping to destroy “good cells gone bad” also known as free radicals.

Vitamin C – also known as ascorbic acid, is needed for the production of collagen, which supports the tissues that supports the skin. Collagen is absolutely necessary for the proper formation of bones and healthy blood vessels while also helping to fight away those unwanted colds.

So the next time you get that salad serving or coleslaw serving do not reject this healthy meal.
