6. Lowers the risk of cancers
Cancer has been a thorn in humanity’s side for as long as anyone can remember. There are so many different types and most of them are rather hard to treat. That being the case, you should seek to beat cancer not just with chemo or radiotherapy but instead by preventing its development in the first place. The main ingredient in sauerkraut is cabbage which has been known to prevent various types of cancer.
Cancer is the result of cell mutations after DNA damage occurs. Cabbage that you ingest by eating sauerkraut has been proven effective as a means of reducing or even preventing damage to your DNA. By protecting the health of your DNA, you’ll drastically lower the odds of you ever developing cancer. While it may not be a cure for cancer, one might call it a semi-vaccine which is good enough.
