They were talking about the benefits of Kimchi to our immunity on the news the other day. It’s a superfood that provides sufficient probiotics for your gut and has anti-inflammatory effects whilst boosting immune systems!
It reminded me of the memories I had every winter in Korea preparing enough Kimchi for the whole winter!!! It was so spicy that I forgot about the cold snow.
Eating fermented foods like sauerkraut and Kimchi can offer many health benefits but exactly why has remained a mystery.
Now, researchers at the University of Leipzig in Germany have found that the beneficial effects are due to the bacteria found in fermented foods boosting the action of the immune system.
