Cleansing Alkaline Food #2: Cabbage

By Energise Ross

Cabbage is part of the cruciferous family of vegetables, and provides super-nourishment across a variety of nutritional categories. It is an excellent source of vitamin K and vitamin C, along with being a good source of fiber, manganese, folate, vitamin B6 and potassium.

Containing fiber, antioxidants, alkaline minerals and more good fats, it’s a great all round cleanser, but is particularly noted for being powerful at cleansing the GI tract and for being an anti-inflammatory – which is always hugely beneficial during a cleanse.

It’s associated with the good ol’ cabbage soup diet of the 80′s and 90′s but don’t let that put you off – cabbage is a great food to cleanse your body all year round as part of your every day alkaline lifestyle.
