Cabbage, whose scientific name is Brassica oleracea var. capitata, is one of the most common and frequently consumed vegetables in our daily lives. It is rich in nutrients, containing large amounts of vitamins B1, B2, C, and U, fiber, carbohydrates, and various minerals. Among these, vitamin U is a water-soluble substance that helps repair lesions caused by gastric and duodenal ulcers.
Cabbage is hailed as a natural "stomach vegetable." The nutrients it contains not only help prevent gastric ulcers and protect and repair the gastric mucosa, but also maintain the normal function of stomach cells and reduce the likelihood of lesions.
Gastric and duodenal ulcers are common diseases of the digestive system. Drug treatment mainly focuses on acid suppression and protecting the gastric mucosa. In addition, we can try cabbage juice. The specific method is as follows: Wash the cabbage, chop or tear it into small pieces, put it in a juicer, add a small amount of boiled and cooled water, and then extract the juice. Alternatively, mince the cabbage and squeeze the juice through a cheesecloth. The cabbage juice should be taken on an empty stomach, which allows the active ingredients to be more effective. Drink an appropriate amount daily, and after a few days, the pain symptoms of the digestive tract will be alleviated to varying degrees or even disappear. Furthermore, vitamin U partially decomposes when heated, so the cabbage juice should not be heated and should be consumed directly after extraction.
