Cabbage



Health Benefits of Cabbage

Cabbage is a good source of vitamin C, with one cup containing over half of the daily recommended amount. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that protects against the cell-damaging effects of oxidation from free radicals. Cabbage is full of phytonutrients, which signal the body to produce enzymes involved in the detoxification of the body. These enzymes help to fight free radicals that can cause a number of different types of cancer, including lung and prostate cancer.
