11- Sauerkraut Prevent Gastric Ulcers
Not only does sauerkraut have a unique, tangy flavor, but it can also help prevent gastric ulcers. Gastric ulcers are painful sores that form in the lining of the stomach due to stress or from taking certain medications. Eating this fermented cabbage regularly may help reduce the risk for developing these types of ulcers.
Recent studies have shown that eating it may help protect against gastric ulcers by reducing inflammation in the stomach lining and increasing levels of protective mucus production. Sauerkraut’s high level of vitamin C and probiotic content helps promote healthy gut bacteria which may also reduce inflammation in the digestive tract. In addition, fermented foods like sauerkraut contain powerful antioxidants that can protect against damage in our cells caused by free radicals.
