Kimchi: The mega Superfood for intestinal health, and so much more…

Korean women have beautiful skin, is this a fair stereotype?

"HI! 🙂 🙂 I eat Kimchi ^^"

According to the former Korean agricultural minister: YES!

Genetics may play a role, but diet is the real secret.

The thought of Kimchi may arouse senses of a pungent, spicy dish, which requires most Americans some getting used to. But along with the pungent odor, Kimchi has incredible health benefits inside and out.

Health Benefits of Korean Kimchi

$9.99 at the local Asian market, ridiculously healthy

Since Kimchi is a fermented food, it will contain live bacteria, also known as Probiotics. Consider Kimchi an ecosystem in itself, which can contribute positively to your own ecosystem.

  1. Healthy bacteria essential to immune system and digestion
  2. Strains of bacteria, such as Lactobacillus, break down indigestible food in your body and produce B-vitamins for your use.
  3. Cabbage is very low in calories and high in nutrients: Vitamins A and C in particular.
  4. Kimchi also contains garlic, a powerful immune booster
  5. This raw food contains active enzymes to help you digest food, and act as a catalyst for essential body functions.
  6. Kimchi keeps your intestines in good shape, reducing and healing ulcers, and possibly fighting cancer as well.
  7. Healthy vaginal health, including less bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections

Kimchi is a powerful health food, which promotes fat loss and reduces gas and bloating.

In other words, Kimchi boosts quality of life, and thats what I really care about.

Micro-Bacteria for Weight LOSS??

Some internal bacteria “help” you hold on to body fat.

Researchers have implanted mice with human intestinal microbes — both from average weight people and overweight people. The results are remarkable…

"Pro-Biotics"Probiotics are getting even more attention for Weight Loss! Overweight people have a higher type of bacteria that actually makes them gain more fat. But, How can Probiotics help us Burn Fat?

Two families of bacteria studied

1. Firmicutes

  • “Bad” bacteria
  • Responsible for excess body fat retention
  • Do not provide host with as many vitamins and minerals

2. Bacteroidetes

  • “Good” bacteria for weight loss
  • Promotes lower body fat levels
  • Generates essential vitamins and minerals for health of host

Does yogurt withstand the scrutiny?

Society is becoming more and more aware of the host nature that humans hold with bacteria.

There are more cells of bacteria than there are human cells in our bodies — does that make us more bacteria or more human?

It’s all part of the system. We need the sun, we need the Earth, and we need each other.

Not all probiotics are created equal

There are an abundance of bacteria species, which seem to have varying and overlapping properties.

We know that S. Boulardii works well for preventing and treating diarrhea. For immunity, studies indicate that strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidus lowered incidence of flu symptoms by 70% over a group who wasn’t supplementing. It’s difficult for science to say which strain is the best, but we find significant evidence in how these foods benefit people so immensely.

Probiotic supplements are better, Living Foods are Best.

Living foods include Yogurt, Sauerkraut, Kim Chi, Tempeh, Kefir, Kombucha, etc…they are alive and want to help you stay alive.

For example, Yogurt : Benefits include…

  1. Active beneficial bacteria — stimulates immune system and aids in digestion
  2. High in protein
  3. Low glycemix index (plain yogurt helps you get slim)
  4. Vitamins and minerals

Kefir and Raw Sauerkraut are powerful as well. No need to choose one — eat them all!
