Cabbage Diet
I have heard of what they call the cabbage diet. When one woman started gaining weight that she couldn’t take off with a certain prescription medication, she claimed to take off 12 of the 30 pounds she had gained off and she was able to maintain that particular weight loss, even though her doctor attributed it to bad diet and no exercise program.
But cabbage does have valid attributes that would explain this. Obviously, you only eat it, so you lose weight for that reason. But also, cabbage is packed with vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, K, A, B1, B2, B5, and vitamin E. It even has more vitamin C than oranges surprisingly enough. Then it is also good for digestion and elimination for digestive health, because it is packed with healthy fibers. Third it is good for skin health, as it has been known for its anti aging benefits and has even been suggested to reduce acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin ulcers, wounds, and arthritis. And finally, of course with any good food, you prevent the buildup of damaged cells associated with cancer, especially with powerful antioxidants. With all these differing attributes, it is really no wonder why people are flocking to cabbage and moreover actually seeing results.
