Chinese cabbage is the most common dish on the dining table. It is rich in vitamins A and C. The content of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is 4 times higher than that of cucumbers and 1.4 times higher than that of tomatoes. The content of vitamin A (carotene) is 1.8 times higher than that of cucumbers.
Vitamin A is a natural, non-toxic anti-cancer substance. It can reduce inflammation in epithelial tissues such as the throat, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract, and can prevent cell mutations caused by carcinogens, thereby inhibiting precancerous lesions in certain tissues.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, can prevent the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines and at the same time inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells.
Cabbage contains a compound called indole-3-carbinol, which accounts for about 0.01% of the weight of Chinese cabbage. It can promote the human body to produce an important enzyme, which can effectively inhibit the growth and division of cancer cells.
The trace element molybdenum contained in cabbage is an important component of human metal enzymes. According to surveys, in areas with a high incidence of esophageal cancer, the molybdenum content in people's hair is the lowest, which is related to the molybdenum deficiency in the local soil and water. Molybdenum can block the formation of carcinogens such as nitrosamines in the human body, so it can prevent cancer. According to calculations, eating 1 pound of Chinese cabbage daily, or drinking 200-300 grams of cabbage juice after meals every day, can absorb 500 mg of this compound, achieving the purpose of cancer prevention.
Recommended for the ultimate detoxification method using Chinese cabbage:
Chinese cabbage, mainly using the leaves (with a small amount of the stalk), is boiled in water without adding oil or salt. A small amount of chili, Sichuan peppercorns, or peeled ginger can be added (the skin of ginger is cold in nature, while the flesh is hot). Eat whenever you are hungry for three consecutive days, without eating any other food. On the third day, in addition to eating the cabbage leaves, you can also drink some cabbage soup. The cabbage should be cooked until very soft.
This method has an excellent detoxification effect and is a great cleanse for people with constipation or unhealthy digestive systems. It is even better if you can stick to it once a month, or extend it to seven days at a time. After consuming it, you will expel old feces. Initially, it will be black, but after a longer period of consumption, you will expel feces that are jelly-like. Those who persist for more than 21 days will excrete feces of five different colors, which means the toxins from the five internal organs have been cleared.
