Healthy vegetable(cabbage)

Vegetable is very vital to our life, it provide our body with a lot of fibre, vitamin and mineral which is contributing to our health.

Cabbage, which is one kind of leafy vegetable i am going to touch on this short article. This humble vegetable may help fight osteoporosis, which affects many women late in life. In addition to getting adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D, some studies suggest that vitamin K may have a bone-protective effect as well.

Reseachers discovered that women who ate enough vitamin K-rich foods( at least 109 micrograms of the vitamin daily) were 30 per cent less likely to suffer a hip fracture during ten years of follow up than women who ate less.

Reseachers point out that dark-green leafy vegetable such as brussels sprouts, spinach, broccoli are all good sources of the vitamin. But cabbage is among the best.
