Cabbage is a familiar, easy-to-find vegetable but has many nutritional values and health benefits, especially its ability to detoxify and purify the liver.
The liver is an important organ responsible for detoxifying, metabolizing nutrients and protecting the body from harmful agents.
Therefore, supplementing liver-friendly foods such as watercress is essential in the daily diet.
Cabbage leaf belongs to the mustard family, has a mild sweet taste, cool properties, and is very suitable for use in meals to help cool down the body.
Cabbage has the effect of clearing heat, detoxifying, diuretic and supporting liver function. When the liver is overloaded due to eating a lot of grease, alcohol or prolonged stress, toxins can accumulate in the body, causing internal heat, acne, and fatigue. Eating Cabbage regularly helps cool the liver, promotes the detoxification process, thereby improving overall health.
In terms of nutrition, cauliflower contains many vitamins and minerals beneficial for the liver such as vitamins A, C, K, folate and fiber. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect liver cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Fiber in cauliflower supports the digestive system to function effectively, reducing pressure on the liver in the process of processing and metabolizing toxins. At the same time, fiber also helps control blood cholesterol levels, contributing to preventing fatty liver.
The natural sulfur compounds in the mustard green family help stimulate the liver's detoxifying enzymes to work more strongly. As a result, the liver can effectively metabolize and excrete harmful substances out of the body. This is why mustard greens are often recommended in simple meals or body detoxification menus.
Not only good for the liver, cauliflower is also easy to process and suitable for many dishes such as stir-frying, boiling, cooking soup or eating with noodles and vermicelli soup.
Using cabbage properly, combined with a healthy lifestyle, limiting alcohol and fatty foods will help the liver "rest" and recover better.
