To improve metabolism, enrich the intestinal microflora and improve the condition of the body as a whole, experts advise adding kimchi and sauerkraut to your diet.
By according to nutritionist Olivia Morrison and gastroenterologist-nutritionist Catherine Nash, this should be done regularly. Experts told The Sun about the benefits of kimchi and sauerkraut for weight loss.
Both of these products belong to the fermented category. They help both lose weight and improve immunity.
Morrison noted that her clients who ate simple kale dishes were able to lower cholesterol, get rid of body fat and lower blood glucose levels.
In addition, fermented foods serve as a preventative against cardiovascular diseases and certain types of cancer.
What do Russian doctors say? Fermented foods are very healthy, but in some cases they need to be used with caution – in case of allergies, exacerbation of gastrointestinal diseases.
Improved digestion. Fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi contain beneficial bacteria that help improve digestion. These bacteria help break down food and absorb nutrients, and may also reduce the risk of developing digestive problems such as constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.
Immune system support. Fermented foods contain probiotics, which strengthen the immune system. Probiotics help maintain a balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Helps absorb nutrients. Fermentation helps break down complex food molecules into simpler forms, making them more accessible to the body. Thus, fermentation of milk in yogurt breaks down lactose (milk sugar), which allows people with lactose intolerance to consume yogurt without problems. And fermentation of grain products increases the content of B vitamins and antioxidants.
