The benefits of sauerkraut, tofu and other fermented products
It is unlikely that our ancestors who invented pickling products, think about the beneficial properties of these foods. They were interested in the safety of food. And it must be the same as all the well formed - fermented products were still healing.
Immediately warn that this text places I did not make it easier for perception, because I think it is important that doctors colleagues saw scientific lowdown.
🌾What is the process of fermentation (fermentation)?
This chemical reaction is taking place by means of enzymes (complex protein molecules) in the presence of bacteria or yeast to produce alcohols, organic acids and carbon dioxide.
Skvasit possible milk, soybeans, cabbage, carrots, asparagus, and some other vegetables and fruits.
🌾What is useful in sour?
The very process of fermentation and its products create the most favorable conditions for the reproduction and growth of their own beneficial bacteria.
For example, I have already written how helpful probiotics. And specifies that these bacteria will never take root in our body. Their use in that they inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and promote the growth of friendly flora own, but does not replace it. AND if together with probiotics in fermented food products to add, this will help us to quickly "settle" the gastrointestinal tract of the right bacteria.
here work, how they grow and multiply, lactic acid bacteria on the cabbage juice.
🌾What kind of effects we can achieve by eating fermented foods, and in particular, sauerkraut:
Improving the functioning of the intestines, reduction or complete disappearance of bloating, cramps, diarrhea or constipation, heaviness in the stomach, etc.
Quite a lot of work, including a meta-analysis and no oneDemonstrating the high efficiency of some species of probiotics against complex diseases, such as necrotizing enterocolitis, traveler's diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea syndrome Irritable bowel and Helicobacter-associated mucosal damage, including children infants.
Here are a few links for my medical readers

That is, regularly eating fermented foods, we prevent a lot of trouble, not only in the intestine. Man is a holistic system, and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract can incapacitate the entire body.
🌾Neozhidanno for many, but eating fermented food improves our mental health.A good article on this topic.
A few years ago I first encountered the works of American psychologists, who claimed that microbiome (collectively microorganisms) marked imbalance bowel causes autism. Of course, he is not alone, but as a rule, in patients with autism there is any problems with the intestines - bloating, disorders stool and so on. And, according to the researchers, the use of funds to reduce the activity of the fungal colonies, gave considerable progress in dealing with such patients.And it is with the children managed to achieve significant results.
The main problem is that antifungal therapy should not be used continuously because of side effects. But fermented food is very handy to hold the balance of beneficial bacteria in the microbiome, healthy and psyche.
One of the last works in this area it was published by Chinese scientists who experimented on flies, fruit flies and achieved interesting results.
Following tomorrow. There will be about protection against cancer
