Cabbage is rich in antioxidants, including vitamin C, anthocyanins, and sulfur, since it is a cruciferous vegetable. Antioxidants play a major role in skin health and the general toning and improvement of the body in response to the ageing process. Free radicals can be an underlying cause of wrinkles, skin discolouration, spots, and many other conditions. Therefore, the antioxidants you get by eating cabbage can cause a turn-around in your ageing processes, leaving you feeling and looking healthy and young.
