With the onset of autumn, many begin to ferment cabbage. It is almost impossible to refuse this traditional dish for many houses, because the cabbage turns out to be crispy, appetizing and with a piquant sourness. Both men and women love sauerkraut, but for women it has a special value. It can be effectively used in cosmetology and dietetics, with its help you can defeat weakness, colds and diseases of the digestive tract.
The wonders of sauerkraut
Simple at first glance, sauerkraut contains almost the entire list of vitamins that the body needs: A, C, K, B vitamins and vitamin U, thanks to which you can prevent duodenal ulcers and stomach ulcers.
Vitamin C is indispensable for women, and there is a huge amount of it in cabbage. This vitamin will strengthen the immune system and prevent aging of tissues and cells. Thanks to the nutrients in sauerkraut, cells are saturated and regenerated quickly.
Iodine is also contained in this delicacy, and without it, the proper functioning of the thyroid gland is impossible. And thanks to lactic acid, you can not only fight E. coli, but also get rid of other dangerous bacteria.
The more you include sauerkraut in your diet, the more chances you have to lose weight. Cabbage brine is especially helpful in this. It reduces weight and helps cleanse the body as a whole. This is due to tartronic acid, which does not allow the appearance of fatty deposits.
Cholesterol problems? And you can forget about them by eating at least a little sour cabbage every day.
Expectant mothers will also appreciate sauerkraut at its true worth, because it literally saves you from toxicosis.
In cosmetology, sauerkraut is used for masks, especially for acne, and also if freckles are not satisfied. Cabbage brine fights many skin blemishes.
Why is sauerkraut healthier than fresh produce?
Many products can lose their valuable qualities due to any type of processing. But with cabbage, everything is exactly the opposite. The sourdough enriches cabbage with the most valuable vitamins and substances that can be preserved throughout the entire storage period of cabbage. Many people like to shred cabbage very finely, but in order to keep everything useful in it, it is better to cut it larger.
Harm of sauerkraut
Sauerkraut contains a large amount of organic acids. In a normal state, they are very useful, but for some diseases it is better to refuse this dish. We are talking about kidney failure, diseases of the glands - the pancreas and thyroid, stones in the gallbladder.
Contraindications to the use of sauerkraut are also acute gastritis and stomach ulcers. If it is included in the diet, then in a very small amount.
If it is impossible to resist sauerkraut, you need to rinse it from the brine at least a little, although the taste will suffer a little from this.
In general, I would like to say that sauerkraut should always accompany a meal in the autumn-winter period, since it is such a storehouse of all the most useful, and even incredibly tasty, that in no case should you refuse this homemade delicacy.
