Cabbage: The Memory Savior

Did you know that the inexpensive, humble and widely used cabbage can practically work miracles? Cabbage is a leafy

vegetable of Brassica family, and is round or oval in shape. It consists of soft, light green or whitish inner leaves covered with harder

and dark green outer leaves.

Even if we are experiencing memory loss let’s not forget that cabbage is a very powerful brain food! The presence of Vitamin

K and anthocyanins within cabbage can give a strong boost to mental function and concentration. These are primarily found in red

cabbage, and vitamin K has been well-researched, although it is often called the “forgotten vitamin”. Vitamin K is essential in the

production of sphingolipids, the myelin sheath around nerves. This wrapping is what protects nerves from damage and decay.

Therefore, consuming vitamin K can improve our defense against neural degeneration, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia.
