How Fermented, Pickles , Can Improve Your Health.
'Time' recently offered readers
a guide to fermented pickles and how
to get the most out of this "super food.".
Fermentation, After sitting in brine for several weeks,
healthy bacteria acts on sugars inside
vegetables, converting them to lactic acid.
These live microbes also affect the gut
in a number of ways that improve health.
In general, fermented vegetables have been
linked to significantly improved glucose
metabolism and a more robust immune system.
Fermented veggies have also been linked to a lower
risk of Type 2 diabetes, decreased triglyceride levels
and higher HDL cholesterol in people who ate them.
Other studies have linked fermented vegetables to
reduced psychological stress, which supports the theory
that the gut and the brain exchange crucial information.
We know the microbes, organic
acids and other metabolites
in fermented foods influence
communication between the gut
and brain in a positive way. , Andres Gomez, microbial ecologist at
the University of Minnesota, via 'Time'.
'Time' reminds readers that
many vegetables can be pickled,
including cabbage, carrots and peppers. .
However, experts note that pickles also contain a high
amount of sodium, associated with a number of adverse
health outcomes, so it becomes important not to overdo it. .
It’s okay to eat pickles daily if you’re
balancing out their sodium content
with fresh, low-sodium produce
like fruit and leafy greens, Frances Largeman-Roth, registered dietary nutritionist
and author of 'Everyday Snack Tray,' via 'Time'
