The INSANE Health Benefits of Eating SAUERKRAUT Every Day! | Dr. Steven Gundry

You've heard me rave about the incredible health benefits of fermented foods, but let's zoom in on sauerkraut in particular! --- Check out my latest book “Gut Check” here: www.amazon.com/Gut-Check-Micr...
In this episode, we'll delve into the fascinating fermentation process, its knack for neutralizing lectins, and the plethora of health perks it can offer you.
While we're on the subject, I'm also discussing kimchi! Originating from Korea and cherished for centuries, kimchi boasts a medley of fermented veggies like cabbage, radish, scallions, or cucumber. Not only is it mouthwateringly delicious, but it's also a boon for gut health.
Discover how these fermented marvels can supercharge your immune system, enhance skin radiance, and promote metabolic well-being. And of course, I'll spill the beans on how to sidestep bloating and gas once you embark on your fermented foods journey. Tune in for all the details!

I grew up on it. Polish mom. My parents lived till’ 94 age each. Love it.

[@whiteninja9481]

Good stuff Maynard. ;-)

[@Elvira.L.E.]

Oh yes. I religiously eat sauerkraut or kimchi every day, unless I’m fasting. And all home made by me 🥰😋❤

[@dankarathanasis9548]

Excellent Dr Gundry I have been fermenting my own sauerkraut for the last 8 months the benefits are amazing, GOOD work.

[@savariaxa]

I eat almost every day bio not pasteurised sauerkraut here in Switzerland 🇨🇭never had any issues with my bowel it’s the best for your stomach and the Vitamine C amount is also very high !

[@MistressOnyaCox]

Love it.. did this. A scoop with my salad it's amazing and easy to make cheap to buy

[@ethimself5064]

Fermented vegies are not cheap to buy - they can only be found in a cooler and the label must say - Non Pasturized

[@campingwithchrissy]

Great content, thank you! Hearing Dr. Gundry say "oodles" made me giggle!!!!!!

[@nowayjose6700]

I find that adding EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) at the table to my sauerkraut and kimchee makes it taste less sour and salty. I am making sauerkraut now and like to add fennel and raw beets to the cabbage.

[@hmmm..2733]

I’ve been adding fennel, too. So good! Sometimes I add a smidge of chopped ginger. And garlic, always.

[@ethimself5064]

My next batch will be fermented garlic

[@HisHumbleHoliness]

Fermenting removes the sharp sting of eating garlic. Makes garlic friendlier

[@ethimself5064]

@@HisHumbleHoliness I cut and chop and take on an empty stomach with just enough water to get it down nicely. It will kill any cold I have had and using garlic in 5 hours or so. Need to repeat at least 2 x day for at least 3 days. I cook with garlic a great deal also

[@Edlas22158]

Thanks a lot for your beneficial information! I adopted your lectins free diet and I love my new way of eating. I have two questions. I buy sauerkraut from the store. Sometimes I simmer it with onions and olive oil. It tasted delicious! Am I killing its benefits? Plus, I tried to ferment cabbage with water and salt and after a few days it smelled like ammonia or something like that. I threw it away. Did I have to throw it away?

[@hmmm..2733]

You don’t need to add the water. You can check out Clean Food Living for how to make sauerkraut. I’m impressed with the depth of her fermenting knowledge.

[@dr.samierasadoonalhassani2669]

You don’t need to heat sauerkraut because you kill the bacteria. Cabbage shredded, salt, if water to cover vegetables and put the bottom of the cabbage to push vegetables inside . Please subscribe to my you tube channel under my name dr samiera Sadoon al Hassani and see my video sauerkraut, how to make it , principles. It is our Babylonian culture and do fermented foods, vinegars. Very easy . Go for it.

In Croatia we eat domestic sauer kraut from September to May. It’s basically our National food. 😎 Crispy & sauer! We akso eat it as a stew with beans.

Sauerkraut has been 'easily accessible and readily available' for centuries... Just a head of cabbage, some salt, a jar, and some time

So is the same to eat the supermarket tyoe which is pasteurized or the raw unpasteurized organic you get like whole foods store?

I recently started eating sauerkraut, the kind in the refrigerated section, for a few weeks now. I like it on sandwiches and of course hotdogs and brats. Even on cheeseburgers. Didn't know how healthy the stuff is. The taste took a bit of getting used to. Doubt I could eat it by itself.

When he states that if you have not eaten fermented foods before, start slowly. Or, he says, it can change the frequency of your bowel movement. I have to ask when he says frequency, does that mean the amount of time in between bowel movements, or the sound volume. Lol. I'm thinking, probably both.

Does drinking beer or alcohol ruin these effects and benefits?

[@jcord0013]

1 red wine per day is a staple of Italian centenarians. Other alcohol is just toxicity with no benefits. Not just the alcohol, but the grains are inflammatory... double whammy

[@nataliemp29]

This guy contradicts himself sometimes. In this video he says it's safe to eat fermented foods because they remove the Lectins, and then another video he says you can't eat sourdough bread, which is fermented, because it still has lectins. I'd be careful with some of the information he puts out. I almost went to the hospital due to shortness of breath, low blood pressure, and fainting spells because I consumed too much olive oil due to his teachings.
