Health Benefits of Kimchi
What is Kimchi?
Let's find out more about Kimchi first.
Kimchi (pronouced Keem-Chee) is a spicy Korean food used in many Korean dishes. There are several Kimchi types, and Korea even has a national museum dedicated to the various types of Kimchi made since Korea's existence. It is usually mixed in with a dish (such as a hot stew or kimbap, a type of food similar to sushi) or eaten with rice.
The most common type of Kimchi, baechu, is created by stuffing a Napa cabbage with fish paste, garlic, and a red paste mixture, placing it in a thick stoneware pot, and then allowing it to ferment in the sun. Once it reaches it peak, the pot is emptied and cabbage is sliced into bite-sized pieces to eat. How it tastes is entirely dependent on how long it is allowed to ferment, and it is best to let it ripen before eating it.
Korea refers to Kimchi as a Korean condiment, not Korean food, but Kimchi is often served as a banchan, or a small side dish. Many people refer to it as a Korean food, however.
Now that you know about Kimchi, let's learn about why it prevents obesity.
Why Kimchi Prevents Obesity
Kimchi prevents obesity through its fermentation process and the ingredients used to help it ferment. According to several studies, the fermentation process allows lactic acid to penetrate the food, allowing healthy bacteria to form, called Lactobacillus kimchii. This bacteria promotes lactic acid. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, lactic acid prolongs endurance, regulates the digestion system, and promotes healthy metabolic functioning in men. It naturally boosts the metabolism and allows you to exercise longer, naturally fuelling your workout. Instead of gulping down a chocolate shake, eat Korean food rich with this Korean condiment.
Kimchi's ingredients also make this a healthy and low calorie Korean food. Its main ingredients, fish paste, dried chili peppers, and garlic, all have powerful nutritional properties and are packed with antioxidants. Dried chili peppers, for example, prevents obesity because it contains capsaicin, the chemical that causes food to be hot. Capsaicin helps people get fuller fast, reducing the amount of food eaten. It prevents obesity by reducing hunger signals quickly. It also boosts the metabolism, which is important if you want to prevent obesity.
Garlic, which is heavily used in Korean food, prevents obesity by improving circulation, removing particles that cause blood clots, and stabilizes cholesterol levels. Combined with food, it helps reduce fat while providing your body with plenty of obesity-fighting antioxidants.
These ingredients are beneficial for all dieters. Kimchi boosts energy, keeps you from eating more food, and effectively prevents obesity by reducing heart disease, blood clots, and abnormal cholesterol levels. Preventing obesity never tasted so sweet!
Kimchi Is Also A Great Diet Food
Most Korean food, including Kimchi, is also very low in calories. All types of Kimchi are well under 100 calories, and baechu Kimchi is under 40 calories per serving. A full serving of vitamins, antioxidants, and obesity-fighting chemicals are also included. Very few people stop at one serving, however, and you can effectively prevent obesity by eating Kimchi daily. Eat up and bon appetit!
