In the ancient and modern life of the East, ginseng is a rare and valuable tonic that not everyone has the opportunity to use. Moreover, ginseng has many beneficial components but it is not a type of plant that can be eaten daily, and eating more of it is not better because it can cause serious side effects.
On the other hand, cabbage is also a type of vegetable but it is much cheaper compared to ginseng and has many health benefits. That’s why many people praise cabbage as white ginseng, the ginseng of the poor.
White cabbage and cabbage leaves have many health benefits
The effects of white cabbage leaves on bones and joints
According to Urban Economic Newspaper, Dr. Nguyen Van Thai (specializing in cancer and cosmetic surgery, working in Hanoi) said that white cabbage leaves are as good as ginseng but many Vietnamese people usually discard them. If white cabbage is good, cabbage leaves have even more special advantages. 100g of white cabbage leaves contains up to 350g of calcium, so it is very good for bones and joints. White cabbage leaves are also rich in vitamin K, an important vitamin for calcium absorption into the bones.
Therefore, eating cabbage leaves and white cabbage helps prevent osteoporosis very effectively. This is a very important food for women after giving birth.
According to nutrition experts, besides calcium, the amount of vitamin C in white cabbage leaves is 4 times higher than that in regular cabbage, specifically 100g of white cabbage leaves contains 53mg of vitamin C.
Cabbage is good for the heart
