Could This Sour Food Hold The Key To A More Healthy Younger Looking You? Sauerkraut Health Benefits
My Friend’s 65 Year Old Mom Looks Younger Than Many 30 Year Old Women! Could This “Sour Food” Be Her Ageless Secret?
The health benefits of this “sour food” is much greater than once thought. Originally from Germany, sauerkraut was known as the first fermented vegetable, and is loaded with powerful anti-aging probiotics.

Probiotics are necessary friendly bacteria that colonize in your gastrointestinal tract. These eat the bad bacteria that cause inflammation, which can lead to health problems and premature aging of cells.
Heating or cooking sauerkraut kills these probiotics. So, it’s vital that you only eat raw, uncooked sauerkraut if you want to maximize your potential sauerkraut health benefits!
Sauerkraut Helps Increase Nutrient Bioavailability*
Certain probiotics found in sauerkraut help your body better absorb nutrients. According to many dietitians, probiotics help the absorption of B vitamins, copper, calcium, zinc, iron, phosphorus and magnesium. This also includes helping synthesize vitamin K-2 and folic acid.
Sauerkraut Helps Boost Immunity*
Sixty percent of the body’s immune system “lives” in your intestines. Probiotics, the “good bacteria” from sauerkraut can potentially boost your immunity by regulating antibodies and lymphocytes production.
Sauerkraut Helps Decrease Inflammation – Assists In Prolonging The Life Of Cells*
Sauerkraut health benefits are numerous. This includes helping to reduce inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, or celiac disease. Since probiotics can help reduce the cause of inflammation that can lead to these problems, and many others including cancer.
Since inflammation contributes to premature cell degeneration, when you reduce inflammation you also reduce cellular degeneration. This makes sauerkraut an important part of any anti-aging program!
I’m not a doctor and cannot give medical advice. However, if I were suffering from any degenerative type disease, including those described above, the first thing I would consider is adding an abundance of raw sauerkraut to my daily diet. I do this now as a potential preventative!*
When Should I Eat Sauerkraut?
To maximize your potential sauerkraut health benefits, I believe it’s best to eat it on an empty stomach. Preferably for best results, in the morning after you have properly hydrated your body with plenty of water and right before going to bed. And, to learn more about how to properly drink water for maximum health and anti-aging benefits, read our article on why “chugging water” is better than sipping.
Eating sauerkraut on an empty stomach will help the friendly bacteria more easily and “un-obstructively” reach their target destination within your intestines. But, the most important thing is to add sauerkraut to your diet. Even if you cannot eat it on an empty stomach.
Sauerkraut Helps Promote Regular Bowel Movements*
A healthy colon generally means a healthy body. Eating sauerkraut daily adds an abundance of fiber to your diet. Most importantly, this can help keep your colon healthy in many ways. This includes bringing the transit time of “food in food out” within an optimal range.
Sauerkraut Supports Recovery After Antibiotic Use*
Probiotics from sauerkraut can also help restore healthy bacteria in your colon. Therefore, this helps to prevent or reduce diarrhea typically associated with antibiotics. Use of antibiotics destroys both good and bad bacteria in your digestive tract. Also, it can help discourage yeast infections in women, which are common after antibiotic use.
Can Sauerkraut Help Fight Cancer?*
The Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry published a study suggesting that fermenting cabbage produces isothiocyanates. These help prevent certain cancers (i.e., colon, breast, liver and lung) from progressing as fast. Sauerkraut is known as a cruciferous vegetable. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, regular consumption of cruciferous vegetables each week can help reduce colon cancer risks.
Sauerkraut And Heart Health*
Sauerkraut is loaded with powerful phytochemicals called flavonoids. According to the American Heart Association’s Nutrition Committee, these types of of phytochemicals have the potential to help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Sauerkraut Helps With Digestion*
Sauerkraut contains a form of lactic acid that acts as a cleansing agent to help assist with digestion. A clean digestive tract low in harmful bacteria can help reduce symptoms associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
