Never mind the pronunciation! Can you get at least "5 benefits" from eating cabbage? Nutritionist: Type 1 people are not suitable for eating too much
Cabbage, which is commonly seen on Taiwanese tables, is a type of cruciferous vegetable. It is rich in nutrients and can help fight cancer, detoxify the liver, and balance estrogen. Eating it in moderation not only has many benefits, but eating it by pregnant mothers can also help fetal nerve development and promote iron absorption!
In general, cabbage contains the following five nutrients. It is recommended that office workers and people who eat out can add cabbage to their daily diet to help maintain good health:
1. Minerals
Cabbage contains minerals such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which help support heart health and bone strength.
2. Vitamin C
Vitamin C helps with immune system function and collagen production, which can help with wound healing to a certain extent.
3. Vitamin K / Calcium
Vitamin K not only promotes wound healing, but also helps prevent osteoporosis and bone loss. Calcium is a very important nutrient for strong bones.
4. Vitamin A
Cabbage contains “beta-carotene”, which can be converted into vitamin A in the human body and helps protect eyesight.
5. Folic acid
Folic acid can provide a good nutritional supplement for pregnant women and baby development.
Even though cabbage has many benefits, people with hypothyroidism are reminded not to eat too much raw cruciferous vegetables because they contain thiocyanate, which inhibits the absorption of iodine by the thyroid. In addition, although cabbage is rich in nutritional value, excessive intake is still not enough. Especially those with specific diseases should consult their attending physician or nutritionist in advance to confirm whether their condition is suitable for consumption.
