Cabbage is a healthy product that should be included in your diet.

The fact is that this vegetable is rich in vitamins, which have a positive effect on the body.

But not every cooking method is suitable for everyone.

For example, after 50 years of age, you need to be careful when adding sauerkraut to your menu, and sometimes it’s better to just give up this snack.

Dr. Elena Solomatina explained that the product contains a lot of fiber.

If the body is not used to consuming this element in such quantities, problems may begin.

“Fiber can cause flatulence and bloating in people who are not used to consuming it in large quantities,” the specialist said during a conversation with representatives of the Vechernyaya Moskva publication.

Women and men who still want to introduce such a product into their usual diet should add cabbage in small parts. It will not be superfluous to pre-heat-treat such a preparation.

Earlier we talked about the benefits of stewed potatoes.
