US Nutritionist Stephanie McKercher said that eating cabbage has a beneficial effect on the digestive system due to its high fiber content. Additionally, this vegetable is rich in potassium, which is responsible for the proper functioning of the heart muscle. In this respect reports Daily mail.
The nutritionist explained that kale is high in fiber. Fiber is an insoluble dietary fiber that normalizes stool and has a positive effect on the intestinal microbiome. Cabbage is also rich in vitamin C – it increases iron absorption and calcium absorption in the body, and also reduces cholesterol levels.
Additionally, vitamin C has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances that protect cells in the human body from damage caused by reactive oxygen species. This means that eating kale helps protect cells from wear and tear due to oxidative stress.
It is stated that this vegetable is also rich in potassium and vitamin A. Potassium ensures the stability of blood pressure by taking part in the contraction of the heart muscle, while vitamin A (retinol) is important for immunity, eye and skin health.
