Cabbage

Cabbage comes in a variety of shapes and colors, including red, purple, white and green, and its leaves can be either crinkled or smooth. Cabbage, especially red cabbage, seems to raise levels of beta-carotene, lutein, and other heart-protective antioxidants. It also helps lower something called “oxidized” LDL, which is linked to hardening of the arteries. And since it eases inflammation, it can help prevent heart disease. Cabbage contains phytonutrients that act as antioxidants to reduce your risk of certain cancers. However, eating large quantities of cabbage can cause negative side effects, such as flatulence, diarrhoea, medication interactions and hypothyroidism. Cabbage can be consumed raw or cooked.
