It’s that time of year when the snow is still visible on the ground but everyone is anxiously awaiting groundhog Puxatony Phil’s reaction to his shadow. Spring is just around the corner and that means bikini and beach season! With that being said, some of us are steadfast with our new year’s resolutions and others of us are deciding when to give them another try. Before diving right into spring and summertime training mode, I love to ease into my seasonal physical and health training with cabbage soup!
It’s been a tried and true go -to for my family for years! I can remember my mother making it when she wanted to kick start good eating habits and detoxing bad foods out of her system and now my sisters’ and Bestie are still advocates. Soup in general has so many benefits but cabbage soup specifically has been known to work wonders to kick start new diets or lifestyle changes.
A few benefits of cabbage soup are
- Cabbage is packed with nutrients.
- Cabbage is packed with vitamin C.
- It helps improve digestion.
- May help keep your heart healthy.
- Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin K.
