I have always loved cabbage in all its forms: fresh, stewed, boiled in borscht. But I especially like pickled. In my childhood, cabbage was fermented in a 200 liter barrel (and we lived, by the way, not in a private house, but in an apartment).
Mom always strained the pickle from sauerkraut and rubbed it face. I am also on on a whim so doing.
But I decided to figure out why this cabbage is so useful?
*firstly, when pickled, cabbage begins to produce probiotics (note: these are living microorganisms that benefit the body)
* secondly, sauerkraut is rich in vitamins C, A, K2, PP and B. More details here:
- vitamin PP - he is nicotinic acid: the only one vitamin, which is accepted in medicine as a medicine. Helper in the body's redox reactions;
- content vitamin B promotes the assimilation of protein, which means that sauerkraut helps the complete digestion of meat dishes;
- vitamin C strengthens blood vessels and helps to strengthen the body's immune capabilities;
- vitamin K2 plays one of the key roles in the metabolism of calcium ions in bones;
- vitamin A - a powerful antioxidant that slows down cell aging and is responsible for blood cholesterol;
Therefore, this cabbage:
1. Carrier of nutrients for the body.
2. Helps improve the functioning of the digestive tract.
3. Strengthens the immune system.
4. Promotes weight loss.
5. Normalizes the work of the nervous system.
6. Reduces the risk of cancer.
7. Helps lower total cholesterol.
8. Helps strengthen bone tissue.
9. Improves vision.
10. It has a beneficial effect on the skin.
Many confused pickle of sauerkraut with juice. Brine, of course, is also useful, but the concentration of nutrients in it is almost four times lower than in juice. Both the brine and the juice are good to use internally and to rub the skin. Brine is a liquid that has been drained from sauerkraut. And to get exactly the juice - you need a juicer.
The juice is useful for oral administration even with gastritis and ulcers (but not at the time of exacerbation). It is good to drink it for colds, anemia, avitominosis, liver diseases, respiratory organs, fractures, constipation and metabolic disorders in the body.
Sauerkraut juice is good for wiping your face and is also used in hair masks (mainly for those with oily hair).
I use the juice to wipe my face and make masks. The simplest mask is: cabbage juice (50 ml) + yolk + sour cream (20 ml).
Concerning slimming with sauerkraut. In my life, there was a real example, when a man from 120 kg in six months lost weight to 76 kg. During the day, he ate whatever he wanted. And in the evening (2 hours before bedtime) only sauerkraut! At the same time, he did not perform any other actions.
