Cabbage Might Be Good for Most—but Not Everyone: What Seniors Need to Know About This Common Vegetable

There’s no denying it—cabbage is a nutritional powerhouse that offers a lot for very little money. But as with many healthy foods, one size doesn’t fit all—especially as we age.

If you’ve got thyroid problems, kidney disease, digestive troubles, or allergies, cabbage may not be your best friend. That doesn’t make it bad. It just means you need to be mindful.

Health after 60 is about finding the balance between nourishment and comfort, tradition and transformation. You don’t have to sacrifice the foods you love—but you do have to listen to what your body needs.

And sometimes, the kindest thing we can do is adapt. Even if it means trading cabbage soup for something gentler—your health is always worth it.
