There are so many opportunities to get outside, exercise, and connect with like-minded people. While you are considering your options, don’t forget to focus on all the ways you can support a healthy lifestyle, including what you put into your body.
At Thai Ginger, we are concerned with helping our Northwest neighbors enjoy fresh, healthy dining options, both at home and on the go. This month, we are featuring our menu items with cabbage. Cabbage has some of the most amazing health benefits. Take a look!
Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. Vitamin K plays a major role in helping your blood clot and preventing excessive bleeding. Vitamin C helps to repair and regenerate tissues and may help to prevent certain cancers. Vitamin B6 is vital to major body functions like movement, memory, energy, and blood flow. Cabbage is also known to be a good source of numerous additional vitamins and minerals including: choline, phosphorus, vitamin B2, magnesium, calcium, selenium, iron, pantothenic acid, protein, niacin, manganese, dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin B1, folate and copper.
Another well-known health-benefit of cabbage is its unique source of phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are known to reduce blood pressure and inflammation. They also prevent several types of disease including cancer, viral infections, and bacterial infections. With so many great health benefits, it’s no wonder we use cabbage in so many of our dishes.
