More Benefits of Cabbages Besides Helping Lose Weight

Cabbage is a member of the Brassica family. It has powerful anti-oxidant properties that can fight the free radicals that bombard our bodies every day. Besides, cabbage contains anti-cancer things like lupeol, sinigin, and sulphoraphane.

Since cabbage contains vast amounts of calcium, magnesium and potassium which are all needed for bone growth, the odds of obtaining osteoporosis is small if you often eat cabbages.

The vitamin K and anthocyanins in cabbage can help promote a healthier brain function as well as a healthier concentration. The vitamin K also helps to create or produce sphingolipids, which in turn help the myelin sheath around the brain nerves.
