Chinese cabbage and its beneficial properties

Japanese centenarians eat a lot of seafood, Georgian elders consider spicy food a recipe for longevity, and Chinese sages owe their health to Chinese cabbage and its beneficial properties.

What is the secret of Chinese cabbage?

The leaves of this two-year-old plant reach 40 cm in length and contain a large amount of useful substances. Chinese cabbage, like most other varieties of this vegetable, consists of almost 90% water and fiber, which makes it a valuable dietary product.

The amount of protein in Chinese cabbage is greater than in beets, carrots and even turnips. This variety is a supplier of very rare vitamins that promote the healing of duodenal and stomach ulcers. Cabbage also normalizes intestinal function and removes waste and toxins from the body. It is also recommended for diabetics and people suffering from obesity.

In terms of mineral content, Chinese cabbage is in no way inferior to other vegetables. It contains sufficient amounts of calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus.
