Kimchi - Nature Cures®

Also known as sauerkraut.

Kimchi is an Asian form of pickled sauerkraut which is an extremely spicy and sour fermented cabbage, typically served alongside meals in Korea.

Kimchi is one of the best probiotic foods to add to the diet as it helps with the production of vitamin K2 which, in turn, helps with the utilisation of vitamin D in the diet. This in turn helps with taking calcium to the bones and teeth to keep them strong and healthy.

The fibre and probiotic beneficial bacteria in kimchi help to establish a balance in the intestinal flora that is essential to many important processes in the body. It also helps with the production and absorption of many other nutrients required by the body and the brain.

Regular consumption of kimchi can help to fortify the immune system and reduce age-related degeneration of cells in the body and brain. It can also help to regulate blood sugar and lower cholesterol levels in the blood and help the body lose excess weight..
