Cabbage contains a large amount of vitamins necessary for the normal functioning of the body. Among them are B vitamins, provitamin A, vitamins C, K and rare vitamin U, which prevents ulcers.
Instructions
Step 1
To preserve all the beneficial properties of cabbage, you must eat it raw. Add it to vegetable salads: cabbage goes well with cucumber, seafood, pork, beef. To do this, chop it as thin as possible so that it releases more healing juice. Season cabbage salads with olive oil or vegetable oil. Do not add salt to fresh cabbage - this will weaken its beneficial properties.
Step 2
Sauerkraut contains almost as many essential vitamins for health as raw cabbage. Never ferment cabbage in an aluminum dish, otherwise aluminum will oxidize under the influence of lactic acid, and substances harmful to the human body will be released. So, to make a healthy meal, finely chop the ripe head of cabbage (no green leaves). Grate 1-2 large carrots on a coarse grater. Mix with cabbage and remember well with your hands so that both ingredients give juice.
Step 3
Season with salt and cumin to taste. Lay whole cabbage leaves on the bottom of a ceramic dish or jar, and on top lay the future sauerkraut in layers, tamping it with your hands. Cover it with cabbage leaves on top, put a flat plate on them, on it - a jar of water, which will serve as oppression. When stored at room temperature, the cabbage will be ready in 14 days.
Step 4
To cleanse the body during the diet, you should drink cabbage juice, which is a storehouse of vitamins. Do not store freshly squeezed juice in the refrigerator for more than a day - it loses its benefits. For the prevention of intestinal diseases, juice is drunk in a course that should be prescribed by a doctor. To maintain immunity, mix cabbage juice with carrot juice. Such an unpretentious cocktail is better absorbed and contains a lot of vitamin C.
Step 5
Cabbage juice is also used for cosmetic purposes. It treats acne and whitens the skin perfectly. They can simply wipe your face as a tonic, then rinse with warm water. You can apply cabbage leaves to problem areas, after rubbing them in your hands so that they become soft. Or use a blanched cabbage leaf. To do this, pour boiling water over it and cool it so that it becomes slightly warm.
