May regulates cholesterol

Researchers from the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at Pusan National University in Korea found that kimchi lowers blood glucose levels and levels of total and LDL (bad) cholesterol. This was discovered in a randomized experiment.

The cholesterol levels are benefited by regular kimchi eating. It is prepared with garlic, which is high in selenium and allicin. These two elements, along with a good diet and exercise, are believed to aid in lowering harmful levels. The prominent ingredient allicin, which is thought to help lower cholesterol, may also cut the chance of developing cardiac problems like strokes and heart attacks. By limiting the formation of plaque and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, selenium may also have a protective impact on the arterial walls.
