which can stimulate detoxifying enzymes in the liver and digestive tract. A higher consumption of total and raw, lightly-cooked, or fermented cabbage during adolescence and adulthood can significantly lower the risk for breast cancer. Good for Liver Health Cabbage is a good detoxifying agent, thus it is good for the functioning of the liver, and may even help counter diseases of the liver by reversing oxidative damage. Consuming red cabbage can reduce oxidative damage, help widen arteries, and trigger antioxidant pathways. Similarly, the red cabbage was able to reverse non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the animals, offering hope that it might promise a similar benefit to humans. Promote Gut Health Cabbage contains both soluble and insoluble fiber, which play different roles in gut health. Soluble fiber helps attach to LDL cholesterol particles and remove them from your system, thus reducing overall cholesterol levels. Insoluble fiber acts sort of like a cleaner for the intestines, removing waste and promoting bowel regularity. Fermented cabbages, like those found in kimchi and sauerkraut, are rich in anti-inflammatory and immune-supportive nutrients, phytochemicals, and probiotic bacteria that are important for gut health. This offers protection against a wide variety of chronic diseases. It also benefits the gut microbiome. Regulate Blood Sugar Eating cabbage is also helpful for improving blood sugar regulation, especially in conditions like type 2 diabetes. Evidence suggests that these benefits are thanks to bioactive compounds in cabbage that support normal glucose regulation and that reduce damage to organs that are often affected by complications of diabetes, like the kidneys and the liver. Some research also indicates that these compounds can address some of the underlying factors in the formation of type 2 diabetes, like obesity and oxidative stress.

Fights Inflammation Another compounds contained in cabbage are anthocyanins, which are naturally occurring antioxidants. These help to reduce inflammation. Chronic inflammation is associated with heart disease, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and many other medical conditions. Inflammation is an important bodily process that protects our bodies from injury and infection. It’s only when inflammation is chronic that it becomes not just problematic but actually a risk factor for numerous diseases. Including cabbage in your diet may reduce chronic inflammation. Wrapping cabbage leaves around the knees of people diagnosed with osteoarthritis resulted in a significant reduction in reported pain. Similarly, cabbage leaves can help reduce the pain and discomfort of breast engorgement during early periods of lactation. Promote Heart Health The anthocyanins found in cabbage help with more than inflammation. They also reduce your risk of heart disease. Antioxidants in cabbage help prevent damage from oxidative stress in the body. Some research has shown that these compounds help prevent the dysfunction of mitochondria involved in the cardiovascular system. It also reduces stress in the heart. Additionally, the kaempferol and quercetin found in green cabbage and the cyanins in red cabbage could promote healthy heart function. Helps with Blood Clotting and Bone Health Cabbage is high in vitamin K which is responsible for important functions like helping your blood clot properly and supporting healthy bones. This vitamin is fat-soluble, so when preparing cabbage, be sure to include a source of dietary fat to ensure absorption. Some of the ways to include fats could be adding avocado to tacos with cabbage, using oil-based salad dressings in your cabbage salad, and using good-quality mayonnaise to make coleslaw.
