Cabbage and Sauerkraut

While many people in the west, especially in the United States of America, sometimes make fun of the so-called "cabbage and sauerkraut diet" which is quite common here in Central and Eastern Europe, what most people do not know is that both cabbage and sauerkraut are two of the best foods for you which are completely natural.

Most people are unaware of the fact that cabbage is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C. In truth, cabbage contains more vitamin C in it than oranges do!

Cabbage is rich in calcium, iodine, magnesium and sulfur. In short, cabbage is one of the richest vegetable sources for these important elements and minerals.

Cabbage - A Stomach’s Friend
One of the most amazing things about cabbage is the fact that it has what some scientists call a "secret ingredient" -- Vitamin U.

While most people are unaware that Vitamin U even exists, cabbage is loaded with it. Vitamin U helps heal skin sores and ulcers which exist inside your intestines or stomach or what is called your digestive tract.

Sauerkraut - Pickled Cabbage
Sauerkraut is made by taking cabbage and putting it into a jar and letting it sit and ferment for a about a week.

To influence its flavor, sometimes cabbage is put into jars with salt, pickle juice or other spices.

Like cabbage, sauerkraut is also great for your stomach or anything having to do with your digestive system.

Not only can it actually help heal any physical sores, but it also helps lower acid levels and it can restore the fine chemical balance and intestinal flora which live inside your stomach.

Unless you’re allergic to it, cabbage is very good for you - period.

"That’s great!" replied the student, "Because I didn’t do my homework!"

2. Did you hear the one about the witch who was so ugly that when she looked into the mirror, her reflection actually cringed?
