One of the favorite vegetables in Russia is cabbage. It is harvested almost before the very frost. Many dishes are prepared from it, preparations are made, and someone just loves to crunch it with juicy leaves as a snack. But what about drinks? What are cabbage broths useful for?

Cabbage water is an unusual drink that is very useful for the human body. Cabbage is rich in polyphenols, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, sulfur, iodine, calcium, potassium, as well as vitamins B1, B2, A, B6, K, C and folic acid. It is very easy to get a decoction from this vegetable. It is enough to pour 300g of cabbage with 6 glasses of water and boil. Here are some of the health and beauty benefits of cabbage tea:

1. Fighting a hangover

Drinking large amounts of alcohol interferes with the functioning of the human digestive system. With a severe hangover syndrome, the following are often observed: headache, indigestion, weakness, dizziness, nausea, etc. This is because alcohol destroys a large number of beneficial bacteria in the intestines that absorb and process minerals and vitamins. Cabbage broth helps cleanse the human digestive system so that the body can quickly restore lost nutrients.

Some doctors and nutritionists recommend starting your day with a glass of cabbage water, preferably before breakfast. You need to take it on an empty stomach, eventually increasing the intake to two glasses a day. This will help control normal bowel function and avoid constipation.

2. Treatment of stomach ulcers

Due to the high content of phytonutrients, the broth of cabbage leaves helps in the treatment of stomach ulcers. In patients with duodenal ulcer who received cabbage in the diet, wounds healed three times faster. At the San Quentin prison in California, a study was conducted with the participation of 45 prisoners suffering from ulcers. They were given cabbage broth for three weeks. As a result, 93% of the subjects had wounds in the stomach and intestines healed. Doctors believe that cabbage water helps the stomach fight acidity, thereby healing wounds much faster.

3. Improving complexion

Cabbage broth, in addition to eating it inside, can also be used in cosmetic procedures. The large amount of antioxidants and phytochemicals found in cabbage leaves help the skin fight harmful radicals that lead to acne and other skin conditions. Cabbage water helps to relieve dry skin and prevent premature aging. It is good to drink a glass of water every day and use the cabbage liquid as a face mask.

To reduce skin pigmentation and remove dark spots, it is recommended to regularly apply a face mask made from cabbage water, with the addition of a pinch of turmeric and fresh honey. To add thickness, rice or plain flour is added to the mixture. The resulting paste must be infused, and then it is applied with a cotton swab to dark spots on the skin. After the mixture has completely dried, it is washed off with plain water and a moisturizer is applied to the face.

4. Strong and healthy hair

The high sulfur content in cabbage broth will help to effectively strengthen weak hair and prevent hair loss. As well as for treating the skin, it is useful to drink a glass of cabbage water (decoction), as well as rinse your hair with it. It is best to do this before washing your hair in the shower. After this procedure, the strands will become stronger and shinier.

5. Health promotion

If you want to be in good shape, get less sick, feel vigorous and energetic, then a daily cocktail, which includes cabbage water, will be a good help to a healthy lifestyle. With its help, you can not only fill your body with useful minerals and vitamins, but also add energy. Thanks to this, it will be much easier to wake up in the morning, and during the day it will become less likely to pester you with fatigue. In addition, this wonderful cocktail will help you lose weight, prevent colds, and strengthen the body's immunity. To prepare this cocktail you will need:

· Two cups of greens (suitable: chard, parsley, spinach, cabbage, dill, arugula);

· Two cups of cabbage water;

· Three cups of a mixture of fresh berries, banana, peach, avocado and pear (you can have one of your choice).

All contents are thoroughly grinded with a blender until smooth. To enhance the aroma and taste, you can add a little ginger root, cinnamon, or some other spice to the liquid. Regular consumption of this shake will help you stay more alert and healthy.
