3. Immune function
Your immune system is like a Star Trek shield that protects your body from various threats like viruses, harmful bacteria, parasites, and a variety of other things. That being the case, it’s important that you keep it strong and healthy. Those with diseases such as HIV or diabetes will suffer from suppressed immune systems and thus be more vulnerable to other conditions.
In fact, many people with HIV or AIDS die after contracting pneumonia due to their suppressed immune system. Seeing as sauerkraut is very nutritious and increases the number of good bacteria in your gut then it should come as no surprise that it’s effective at boosting your immune health. Studies also show that regular consumption of probiotic foods like sauerkraut will reduce your chances of developing common infections such as UTIs and even the common cold.
