1, which is beneficial to intestinal health and promotes nutrient absorption.
Kimchi will produce a large number of probiotics during fermentation. These probiotics can not only inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in human intestine, but also regulate intestinal flora and promote the balance of bacteria in human intestine. Fermentation produces a large number of active lactic acid bacteria, which are mainly colonized in human small intestine and large intestine. They use sugar fermentation to produce organic acids such as lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid, which is beneficial to the absorption of intestinal nutrients.
2. Effectively prevent and treat diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
Lactic acid bacteria in kimchi, small peptides and oligopeptides produced by fermentation can inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme and fight hypertension in vivo. Lactic acid bacteria and its metabolite lactic acid contained in kimchi can prevent two types of diabetes in the body. Pickled vegetables can also reduce serum cholesterol levels and blood lipid levels, prevent arteriosclerosis and prevent cancer.
The disadvantages of eating kimchi
1, kimchi often contains a certain amount of nitrate.
Nitrate will also produce nitrosamines under the action of tissue metabolism after entering the human body. Nitrite and nitrosamine will do harm to human body, especially nitrosamine has a strong carcinogenic effect, which mainly causes esophageal cancer (gastrointestinal oncology), gastric cancer (gastroenterology), liver cancer and colorectal cancer (gastrointestinal oncology, anorectal science).
The level of carcinogen is the highest in the first few days of curing, and then gradually decreases. As long as you can grasp the consumption and eat kimchi properly, it can still have a good health care effect on your body.
2, gastrointestinal discomfort
Eating too much acidic food can cause heartburn and gastrointestinal discomfort. Acidity can easily lead to insufficient intestinal motility and constipation. Moreover, eating too much acidic food can easily lead to too much hydrochloric acid in gastric juice, destroy our gastric mucosa, lead to problems in the stomach, and may lead to gastritis and increase the incidence of gastric ulcer. It is recommended to eat as little as possible.
3, leading to vitamin C deficiency in the human body.
In the process of pickling vegetables, vitamin C was destroyed a lot, and its composition was almost "completely destroyed". Eating more pickles will lead to vitamin C deficiency.
4, causing stones
Pickled sauerkraut contains more oxalic acid and calcium. Because of its high acidity, it is not easy to form calcium oxalate in the intestine and excrete it, but it will be absorbed in large quantities. Calcium oxalate will crystallize and deposit in the urinary system, forming stones.
Therefore, kimchi can be used as a condiment instead of salt in daily diet and can also be tasted as a side dish. Be sure to control the meal time and don't overeat!
