    Cabbage is also an excellent source of vitamin k, which helps with the clotting of the blood- so if you’re prone to bruises or if you’re a bleeder, eating cabbage is especially good for you. However, it can suppress the thyroid, so if you have a thyroid condition, you should avoid cabbage unless it’s cooked (which reduces the compound which affects the thyroid).
