Think of your thyroid as a conductor, harmoniously regulating all vital functions. The problem is that cabbage contains goitrin , a substance that can disrupt this harmony by causing the gland to swell.People with goiter or thyroid dysfunction should therefore remain vigilant. In case of an irresistible urge, it is recommended to immerse the cabbage leaves in salt water for 10 to 15 minutes , then chop them finely before eating them. This small gesture can significantly reduce the presence of goitrin.
Those with fragile digestion
If we compare our intestines to a national highway, cabbage is a kind of « bulldozer » : effective at clearing the way in cases of constipation thanks to its fiber. But for an already weakened digestive system (diarrhea, sensitive intestines), this bulldozer becomes an uncontrollable steamroller, aggravating the problems.
If you have difficulty digesting, it is better to skip this and opt for milder vegetables such as cooked carrots or steamed courgettes .
