Notes
- CABBAGE, especially red cabbage, contains phytoestrogens which can help reduce hot flashes and aid hormone balance. Its high content of vitamin c can help boost your immunity and stimulate detoxifying enzymes. Vitamin a stimulates hair growth and the antioxidant properties can prevent the loss of hair from the scalp. It also has cancer-preventive properties that can work against different cancers including bladder, colon, breast, and prostate cancer. The vitamin k and anthocyanins in cabbage has been found to protect cognitive functions and fight against the plaque that builds up causing memory loss. Cabbage is very low in calories and high in fiber, which makes it a perfect meal component. It will leave you feeling fuller without the calories and provides you with all the nutrition you need.
