Cabbage, a Simple Beauty Food!

Purple Cabbage

Can eating cabbage really help make your skin more beautiful? This seemingly ordinary vegetable does indeed offer tremendous skin loving benefits. Cabbage contains layer upon layer of skin beautifying vitamins A, C, and E, along with other uber skin friendly nutrients.

Cabbages contain around 11% more vitamin C than oranges by weight and this powerhouse vitamin has incredible anti-aging properties that help heal damage and minimize deep lines. So, loading up on this potent vitamin infuses your cells with anti-aging power.

Cabbage is also rich in sulfur which is beneficial for wound healing but when combined with vitamin C offers vital detoxifying qualities. The extensive nutrient dense layers of cabbage purify the body and eradicate free radicals helping to prevent damage and aid in the repair of lines and wrinkles.

Loaded with fiber, cabbage also helps to clear waste that clogs your internal organs. When your internal organs become congested with waste (YUCK!) it shows in your face in the form of more pronounced lines and winkles. When your organs run more smoothly your body then has more energy to delegate for your skin cells helping them function optimally resulting in more beautiful skin.

So, the next time you pass this all too familiar vegetable in the produce section take a moment and think about what it can do for your skin. Eating cabbage regularly is not only great for your health but can do wonders for your complexion.
