Description

Cabbage has 1 gram of fiber for every 10 calories.

That helps fill you up, so you eat less. It also keeps you regular, and it could help lower your “bad” (LDL) cholesterol and control your blood sugar.

Cabbage also has nutrients that keep the lining of your stomach and intestines strong.

This common leafy green vegetable comes in a range of colors, shapes and sizes that you can use for soups, salads, sandwiches and more. Eat it raw or stir-fried to get the most benefit. Find it fermented in gut-healthy foods like sauerkraut and kimchi — or chopped into coleslaw for a quick fix.
