Cabbage should be submerged in water, if not, you must prepare a solution of water and salt and add it to the jar. Put a weight on it. It is important that cabbage is not exposed outside the liquid. Cover it with a paper towel and adjust with an elastic.

ANTI INFLAMMATORY GREEN JUICE
1 serving
Cucumbers contain curcubitacins, substances that can block inflammatory pathways.
Apples are rich in quercetin, an anti-inflammatory flavonoid that can actually help heal the lining of the intestine. That’s key, because intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) is linked to some arthritis issues.
Spinach may help reduce inflammatory markers in the blood.
Lemon with peel contains anti-inflammatory limonene, so using unpeeled lemon in this recipe bumps up the inflammation-fighting power.
1 cup fresh spinach, lightly packed
1 large cucumber
1 tsp fresh ginger root (about ½ inch)
¼ bunch flat-leaf parsley
½ apple, cored
1/2 lemon, with peel
stevia powder to taste
Wash and roughly chop all produce. Place them in a blender and blend until smooth. Add stevia, if desired. Serve immediately.
