Benefits of eating cabbage on a daily basis

Eating cabbage on a daily basis can be quite beneficial to your health. Cabbage is packed with vitamins, including vitamins C and K, and is low in calories. Not to mention, cabbage soup is particularly warm during the cold winter months. Incorporating this superfood into your diet can help you maintain good eye health as it contains carotenoids which act as antioxidants, promoting healthy cell growth and preventing eye damage from sunlight.

Additionally, it may reduce inflammation since cabbage contains sulforaphane, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory effects.
