May strengthen your immune system
Top 3 in Top 10 Health Benefits of Kimchi
Kimchi's Lactobacillus bacterium may improve your immune system's performance. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) levels were lower in mice given injections of Lactobacillus Plantarum, a particular strain found in kimchi and other fermented foods, than in the control group. TNF alpha levels are frequently increased during infection and sickness, so a decline shows that the immune system is functioning effectively.
A test-tube study using Lactobacillus Plantarum, a bacteria that was isolated from kimchi, also showed that this organism possesses immune-boosting properties. Although these findings are encouraging, the further human study is required.
