today we’re going to talk about the

eight important reasons why you should

start increasing more sauerkraut in your

diet sauerkraut is basically fermented

cabbage and it’s combination between a

prebiotic fiber and a probiotic because

it has friendly bacteria so it can help

provide the fiber to microbes and it can

also give you friendly bacteria the only

time I wouldn’t recommend taking

sauerkraut is if you had SIBO small

intestinal bacterial overgrowth because

you already have too much bacteria in

the small intestine when it should be in

the large and if you’re adding more

fiber more food and more microbes into

your small intestine you’re gonna feel

like a balloon because you’re gonna get

a lot of gas so one way to know if you

have SIBO is if you consume something

like this and if you feel really bad

then you may have it if you feel really

good you probably don’t have it number

one it will get rid of some of the anti

nutrients which are blocking the

absorption of a good nutrients and in

addition to that it enhances some of the

phyto nutrient availability number two

it can reduce gas production

some people get a lot of gas when they

consume raw cabbage but if they either

steam it cook it or ferment it they

won’t have that gas because the

alteration in the carbohydrate number

three it will increase a compound called

acetylcholine which will help improve

your bowel movements increase digestive

juices and increase the pancreas release

of certain enzymes so it’s generally

very good for digestion

number four increase in lactic acid this

is a very good thing pathogens

unfriendly microbes do not like acid

so this lactic acid will do nothing to

our good bacteria it just makes the

unfriendly bacteria want to go somewhere

else so it inhibits pathogens and by the

way lactic acid is also necessary to

help you absorb certain minerals okay so

that’s one other benefit but it’s mainly

an immune improving function alright

number five you can spike your vitamin C

content now out of all

the foods that are available sauerkraut

is at the top of the list certain types

of sauerkraut have about 700 milligrams

of vitamin C so the RDAs for vitamin c

are roughly between 70 and 90 milligrams

so it will give you ten times the amount

that your body needs so and vitamin C is

good for so many things

energy supporting the strength of the

artery wall and improving your immune

system in a major way alright number six

you can spike vitamin k2 now vitamin k2

helps tell calcium to go from the soft

tissues whether it’s in your joints or

your arteries back into the bone so it

prevents the accumulation of calcium in

the wrong places

now typically vitamin k2 is in fatty

animal products and fatty dairy products

it isn’t fermented soybeans as in NATO

but you can also get it from sauerkraut

now vitamin k2 has other benefits as

well it strengthens the mitochondria I

noticed I personally get more endurance

when I consume foods higher in k2 so

when I’m riding my bike I can go up

hills much better than when I don’t

consume it alright number seven immune

support now we already talked about

lactic acid but sauerkraut does have

friendly bacteria as in a probiotic also

the fiber feeds the microbes that then

make certain compounds that help your

immune system that helps blood sugars

and it helps to feed the colon cells

themselves and 80% of your entire immune

system is located in your gut alright

last one number 8 it will spike vitamin

you now what is vitamin you it’s

basically a chemical s methyl Matheny

this natural compound can improve

colitis ulcers inflammation of the gut

gastritis cabbage in general is just

really good for anything with the gut

now sometimes if you have an ulcer or a

severe inflammatory condition and you

take sauerkraut because there’s acid in

that could actually irritate the stomach

and in which case you would probably

need something like just regular cabbage

in your salad or cole slaw but I found

that many people can do sauerkraut and

it really can help the inflammatory

process going in their gut all right

there you have it eight reasons why you

should consider consuming more
