Above all, it is known to have an excellent effect on preventing many stomach-related diseases in Koreans. The ingredient 'sulforaphane' in cabbage inhibits Helicobacter pylori activity that causes stomach cancer, and vitamin U helps relieve gastric ulcers.
In addition, abundant dietary fiber is good for controlling blood sugar levels and lowering cholesterol. The calorie per 100g is only about 24kcal, and the moisture reaches 90%, helping to maintain a feeling of fullness.
It also has a lot of vitamin C, which helps improve immunity and absorb iron. It is also good for growth because it is high in lysine and calcium, which are essential amino acids.
In particular, it is known to help prevent cancer as it is rich in polyphenols with antioxidant and anti-aging effects and contains 'indole-3-carbinol' component that has anticancer effects.
However, even with many advantages, it is inconvenient to eat too much, so be careful.
First of all, patients with hypothyroidism should be careful about their intake. Symptoms can worsen because high-yetrogen components in cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage inhibit thyroid hormone production in the body. It's okay to take one cup two to three times a week, but it's better to refrain from eating a large amount.
In addition, dietary fiber in cabbage is not decomposed in the stomach, so bacteria in the intestine ferment and digest, and excessive intake can cause bloated symptoms by generating a lot of methane gas. If you are worried about abdominal distention, it is recommended to control your intake.
