In the vegetable world, the Brassica genus reigns supreme, and the cabbage is the most impressive, then broccoli and bok choy. They contain a compound called indoles, which has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer dramatically. Cabbage eaten more than once a week can cut colon cancer by 66%. Cabbage also stimulates the immune system, kills bacteria and viruses, and is a good blood purifier. If you eat the red variety you’ll also get a healthy dose of antioxidants. Sauerkraut is good for you and only has 23 cal. Per ½ cup.
Got this today from our nutritionist at the school.
