# Nutritional Value and Health Benefits of Cabbage and Cabbage Juice
Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin K and vitamin C, and it is also a good source of fiber, manganese, folate, vitamin B6 and omega-3 fatty acids.

Raw cabbage juice has been remarkably successful in treating ulcers. In one of the medical research, ulcer patients reported dramatically less pain, and X-ray examination confirmed faster healing time. There wasno other change in their diet, and they did not have drug therapy. 81% of the patients were symptom-free within one week; over two-thirds were better in just four days. The average healing time for patients given standard hospital treatment was over a month. Cabbage juice worked well for other types of ulcers, also

Cancer prevention tops all other areas of health research with regard to cabbage and its outstanding benefits. More than 475 studies have examined the role of this cruciferous vegetable in cancer prevention (and in some cases, cancer treatment). The uniqueness of cabbage in cancer prevention is due to the three different types of nutrient richness found in this widely enjoyed food. The three types are (1) antioxidant richness, (2) anti-inflammatory richness, and (3) richness in glucosinolates.

You can count on cabbage to provide your cardiovascular system with valuable support in the form of cholesterol reduction. Researchers understand exactly how this process takes place. Your liver uses cholesterol as a basic building block to product bile acids. Bile acids are specialized molecules that aid in the digestion and absorption of fat through a process called emulsification. These molecules are typically stored in fluid form in your gall bladder, and when you eat a fat-containing meal, they get released into the intestine where they help ready the fat for interaction with enzymes and eventual absorption up into the body. When you eat cabbage, fiber-related nutrients in this cruciferous vegetable bind together with some of the bile acids in the intestine in such a way that they simply stay inside the intestine and pass out of your body in a bowel movement, rather than getting absorbed along with the fat they have emulsified. When this happens, your liver needs to replace the lost bile acids by drawing upon your existing supply of cholesterol, and as a result, your cholesterol level drops down.

Cabbage provides you with this cholesterol-lowering benefit whether it is raw or cooked. However, a recent study has shown that the cholesterol-lowering ability of raw cabbage improves significantly when it is steamed. In fact, when the cholesterol-lowering ability of steamed cabbage was compared

Enjoy the joy of Juicing the cabbage, be healthy always.

The Reverse Diabetes Diet

I just read a book on Diet that could reverse Diabetes by Dr. Neal Barnard, He shared the research study that Diabetes can be reversed by following his research findings, details as below.


‘Dr Neal Barnard is a brilliant visionary, one of the leading pioneers in educating the public about the healing power of diet and nutrition.’ – Dr Dean Omish




For the type 2 diabetes, our goals is to ‘clean the gum out of the locks’ . The fundamental problem in type 2 diabetes appears to be the accumulation of the tiny amounts of fat inside muscle cells. They make it hard for insulin to do its job by blocking what it called insulin signaling. Thai is, they interfere with the process by which insulin opens the cell membrane to allow glucose to enter. You need to select foods that reverse this process.



A diet revamp can also help protect your body from the disease process. That is crucial for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

The Diet Plan’s guidelines is a simple process, there are no limits on portions, calories or carbohydrates. Just focus on what you eat, so how much you eat generally takes care of itself.

To reverse the course of diabetes, ‘clean the gum out of the locks’. And allow the heart and blood vessels the best chances of reversing any existing blockages, there are there three guidelines.

1. Set aside animal products

2. Keep vegetable oils to the minimum

3. Favour foods with a low glycaemic index

There are two sources of fat in the diet : animal products and vegetable oils. This guideline tackles the first of these,

The Program omits meat, dairy products and eggs.

The Plan does have rules about carbohydrate. Select the right kind of Carbohydrate, quantity is not the primary concern.

What is GI ?
The Glycaemic Index (GI) is simply a number that indicates how rapidly any given food releases sugar into the bloodstream.

Let's Keep Fit and Stay Slim

Extract from “THESTAR” : Overweight, Obesity & Cancer


The followings are some of the extract from an article wrote by Dr Tee E Siong (dated Oct5,2008)

The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) expert report on: Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer, released in November 2007, presents the evidence for this link and provides detailed recommendations for the prevention of cancers.

The evidence linking overweight, obesity and cancer is now even stronger than it was in the mid-1990s. There is now convincing evidence that excess body fat increases the risk of the following cancers: colorectal (bowel), oesophagus, pancreas, kidney, endometrium (womb) and breast (in postmenopausal women). Being overweight or obese probably also increases the risk of gallbladder cancer. There is limited evidence suggesting that greater body fatness is a cause of liver cancer

WCRF recommendations:-
The recommendation of WCRF is therefore to be as lean as possible within the normal range of body weight.
As a guide, a healthy waist measurement is less than 80 cm (32 inches) for women and less than 90 cm (35 inches) for men. Remember that the measurement should be taken after breathing out!
Things to DO!!!
> Lead a more active life; sneak in some exercises in your daily routine.
> At work, do desk exercises or walk to your colleague’s work station instead of talking on the phone.
> Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator.
> Walk instead of driving for short distances.
> If you drive, park further away from your destination and walk.
> Wash your car yourself, clean your house briskly, do gardening/farming or mow your lawn.
> Exercise at least three times per week for 20-30 minutes each time.
> Go jogging, swimming, cycling or do brisk walking.
> Take up recreational sports.
> Play golf (minus the buggy).
> Eat less high-fat, high-calorie foods and snacks.
> Avoid overeating, nibbling and eating at irregular times.
> Keep an eye on portion sizes as controlling the amount you eat is one of the best ways to maintain a healthy weight.
> Avoid weight-loss diets that severely restrict calories and other nutrients.
> Trying to lose weight with self-induced vomiting and the use of laxatives or diuretics can be dangerous.
