Cabbage is abundant in sulfur, required for maintenance and formation of connective tissues in the body, including skin, tendons, bones and muscles. Eating vitamin K-rich foods like cabbage will help naturally raise vitamin K1 levels, to promote healthy blood clotting and heart health. Cabbage is also a good source of vitamin B6, which is required to make serotonin and melatonin, two important hormones that affect mood and sleep.
