Cabbage leaves often have a delicate powdery waxy coating called bloom. The occasional sharp or bitter taste of cabbage is due to glucosinolate. Cabbage is also a good source of riboflavin.

Cabbage also keeps breast cancer away. Researcher Laurie Deutsch Mozian observed that women living in Eastern European countries surrounding Poland and Russia were much less likely to develop cancer as compared to American women. An analysis of their diet revealed a much higher intake of cabbage. Years of research has shown that the pytochemicals in the cabbage alter estrogen metabolism in a favorable way, one that is likely to reduce the risk of cancer.

Red or purple cabbage is also a source of antbocyanins. These are pigment molecules which make blueberries blue and red cabbage red. They are found in many colorful fruits and belong to a group of plant compounds called flavonids. They have considerable bio active properties including acting as powerful anti- oxidants.

Cabbage is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. It contains calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K, beta-carotene; One cup of cooked cabbage also gives you 4 grams of fiber.

Make cabbage a regular part of your diet. It works as a valuable herbal medicine.

White Fish.

. I recovered from an aorta rupture. A twelve hour operation to repair the aorta and place artificial aorta valves as the natural valves had burst under pressure.

I started the slow road to recovery, eat prudently. It was vital that I loose weight, increase my energy level and try and build some muscle. Easier said then done! The Doctor’s advice to me- eat intelligently. I am fifty eight, at my age it ant easy to loose weight.
The first challenge is to regulate eating, breakfast on time, eat nothing between meals. Eating dinner latest by 6.30 PM and not eating thereafter till breakfast the next morning. My dinner is invariably a fillet of whitefish, steamed vegetables and some mashed potatoes.
White fish is high in protein and low in calories. A fillet of 3 oz. fish will deliver 20 grams of protein and is just one hundred calories. This is half of the total protein one needs per day.

Lean fish have a mild flavor, making them adaptable to all cuisines. The white fish easily available in our market are Atlantic cod, flounder, halibut, Orange roughy, and Pollack. Orange roughy is imported from New Zealand. This is a good source of vitamins, minerals and protein. White fish has many health benefits.

Whole leaves can be added to any salad of mixed leaves or potato salad, or make a strongly flavored salad on its own. Arugula and porisciutto make a good sandwich filling, and with mushrooms or cheese a filling for ravioli. Shredded leaves are good in herb butter for sea food or herb dressing. Arugula can also be used to make pesto, my favorite sauce!

Arugula is good with goat cheese, lettuce, potatoes, salad herbs and tomato. Arugula combines well with basil, borage, cilantro, cresses, dill, mint and parsley.

Arugula leaves become more peppery, the longer they stay on the plant and once the flowers fully develop then the leaves taste diminishes.

Health Benefits of Olives.

Olive oil is famous, but people seem to forget the little fruit which produces the olive oil. Olives are an ancient fruit and olives have been around for more than 3000 years, particularly in the Mediterranean. The ancient fermentation techniques that were used to produce healthy foods like sauerkraut, olives and miso have all too often been replaced by fast, commercial techniques that don’t yield nearly as healthy a product.

Olive is nature’s herbal medicine.
Olives have a high percentage of fat content of 15 to 35 percent, they are an excellent source of oleic acid ( Omega-9 fatty acid). Since olives contain mixed tocopherois, they are also a good source of vitamin E. Olive compounds contain many unique phenolic and aromatic compounds, including oleuroperin and flavonoids. The Mediterranean area consumes large amounts of olive oil and has a lower risk of developing diabetes,atheroscierosis, and colon cancer.

If you are choosing fats, olive oil is a healthy choice. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fat, this is a healthier type of fat that can lower the risk of heart disease, by reducing the bad cholesterol levels in your blood. Food and Drug Administration recommends that two table spoons of olive oil a day may reduce your risk of heart disease.
