Cabbage is a vegetable few people really appreciate. If not for the purpose of vegetable salad used in fried rice, I guess many Nigerians would not know what a cabbage is.

Do you know that Cabbage belongs to the super-foods that weight watchers eat to get maximum result in losing weight in limited time?

Cabbage belongs to the Brassica plant family vegetables which includes, broccoli, brussels sprout, Kale, and Cauliflower – These vegetables are not found in Nigeria.

Scientific studies have shown that cabbage is one vegetable that has the least of calories and very rich in fiber. These two qualities alone spells weight loss. Just eating cabbage alone in few days has been responsible for weight loss in less time compared to eating other vegetables.

So if you have all the fruits and vegetables in your fridge and Cabbage is not part of it, it’s not yet complete if you are a weight watcher.

Below are reasons why you should ENSURE that you eat Cabbage all the time.

• Antioxidant Properties

Studies show that antioxidants reduces inflammation in the body, fights the growth of cancer cells, and boosts brain function. Cabbage is very rich with particular types of antioxidants that is responsible for preventing the above disease conditions.

• Reduction of Cholesterol

Cabbage is one of the most effective vegetables that reduces cholesterol in the body. It does this by preventing Bile from absorbing fats in foods after meal, thereby reducing the over-all cholesterol build up in the body.

• Stops Cancerous Growth

Cabbage contains an important compound called “glucosinolates” which have anti-cancer properties. Meaning that as long as you eat cabbage, this compound is released into the blood stream. As long as this compound exists from time to time in your body, cancer cells will NEVER find a favourable environment to grow and wreck havoc on the body.

• Abundant Fiber Content

This is the weight watcher’s dream come true. Cabbage is very rich in fiber and easily fills one up when eating. The fiber content in Cabbage has been responsible in helping to cure stomach ulcer and adsorb toxins out of the body. It therefore plays the perfect role of a natural stomach cleanser.

In fact studies have shown that women who eat cabbage has a 45% lower risks of having a breast cancer compared to women who doesn’t eat cabbage at all.

While cabbage is good for health, it should be known that excessive amount of raw cabbage in the body is not healthy.

In other words, do not make eating cabbage your daily routine, adding it in every meal you eat. This is because, despite it’s healthy and nutritional advantages, cabbage is a “Goitrogen”. Meaning that excessive raw cabbage can lead to goiters.

Goiter is a condition where the thyroid gland becomes enlarged, due to either hormone imbalance or deficiency in Iodine.

When this happens, there is a swelling in the throat of the person suffering from Goitre.

A Cabbage heavy diet can contribute to the onset of goiter because cabbage inhibits the bodies ability to adsorb Iodine.

But not to worry, this condition rarely happens because the chance of excessive consumption of cabbage is rare.

As with everything, moderation should be the watch word.

Eat your cabbage at least 3 – 4 times per week to enjoy the health benefit of it.

Lemons… A lot of us are familiar with this fruit. But we do not really know the importance of it to life.

Do you know that lemons is among the fruits that have the highest healing powers of diseases on earth?

Do you also know that lemons creates the environment in the body that aids rapid weight loss?

How does it do this you ask?

Lemons have the natural powers as a strong anti-bacteria, anti-viral and immune boosting powers, liver and colon cleansing which creates alkalinity in the body that turns it into a fat-burning furnace.

Recently, science has discovered that in addition to the powers that lemons posses, that they are now an effective aid in preventing poison, and treating other health conditions.

In today’s article, I shall be talking about the 7 cures that eating lemon makes possible and how this can help you in maintaining a healthy life.

1. Alkalinize Your Body For Fast Weight Loss

One of the principles I teach in The 4 Week Detox Diet is the use of lemon juice to alkalinize the body everyday or 2 – 3 times per week.

To do that, each morning, press out lemon juice into a glass of water and drink before going out. The effect this has is that it helps in killing bacteria and cleaning the colon and liver and helps it to become more alkaline.

When the body is alkaline, fat burning is increased, and toxins is washed away. When this happens, there is a gradual process of weight loss overtime.

2. Treatment of Acne

Citric Acid is a substance that helps to treat Acne, and Lemon has it in abundance. Vitamin C is a nutrient that helps the skin to glow, and because Vitamin C is alkaline in nature, it kills some types of bacteria that causes Acne. Lemon is a good source of Vitamin C.

Lemon has a 75% chance of treating early signs of Acne. If you have Acne on your body, this is how to use lemon to treat it if it has not gone into its very advanced stage.

With a cotton wool, press out some juice onto it and rub over the Acne affected areas, leave overnight and wash off the next morning.

Thereafter, mix one part of lemon juice with some honey, rub the mixture over the affected areas, and leave for 30 minutes, then wash off. Do this twice a day until the Acne disappears.

3. Cure Canker Sores of The Mouth

Canker sores are wounds that happens around the mouth or on the lips. If you have this problem, you can get rid of it using lemon juice.

Here is what to do:

Mix one part of freshly pressed Lemon juice into a glass of lukewarm water. Take it into your mouth and gargle or rinse your mouth with this water, then allow it to stay in your mouth for about 3 – 5 minutes, then pour out.

Repeat 3 times in a day. There may be some burning sensation when the lemon water touches those problem areas, those sensations are the destructive effect of lemon water over the bacteria. It will reduce as you continue with the solution.

4. Cold, Runny Nose Or Sore Throat

The healing powers of lemon helps the body internally by supplying the needed Vitamin C required by the immune system to prevent the bacteria from taking root in the body.

When you experience cold or runny nose, taking Lemon is one way to prevent the cold from entering advanced stage. Get a freshly pressed juice into a glass of lukewarm water and drink it every 2 hours.

5. Eliminate Eczema

Eczema is another skin disease just like Acne. To help you with scraping Eczema, you need to use the outer skin of lemon. Press out the oil from the skin, and add about 8 – 10 drops of it into a glass of Lukewarm water. Mix this with a tablespoon of honey.

Get a linen material and soak it with it, then gently place the cloth over the affected area for 15 minutes. Repeat this 2 -3 times daily.

6. Insect Repellant

Lemon can serve as a natural source of insect repellant and are better alternatives. To repel insects, press out lemon oil from the Lemon outer skin layer, add about 20 drops into about 200ml of water and spray into the air.

It smells good and repels insects at the same time. If you want to avoid insect or mosquito bite while outside the house in the evening, apply this scented water with lemon oil on your body parts not covered with clothes.

7. Clear Pain and Helps Rheumatism

Lemon is very bitter, but then it’s highly alkaline and combats acidity in the body. Excess acidity contributes to Rheumatism.

To help with the treatment or prevention of Rheumatism, drink a glass of lukewarm water mixed with freshly pressed lemon juice 3 times daily.

If there are severe pain in the joints, lemon oil which is extracted from the skin of the lemon fruit can be used to rub on the pain areas as this serves as a pain relieving agents as well.

There are countless uses of Lemon to better health and fight obesity. This list is just a tiny part of what lemons can do. It’s an incredible healing fruit that most of us take for granted.

We should learn the habit of using nature’s resources to it’s fullest. The 4-Week Detox Diet is a natural program that teaches you how to best maximize some of these resources to lose weight, gain back your health, detoxify your body, and enjoy life to the maximum.

Do you think you will lose weight if you reduce the amount of foods you take generally?
