When kimchi was introduced to human cells in a test tube, it showed to slow the aging cycle of the cell, no matter the age of the cell!

The bacteria that help ferment Kimchi have been connected to improved immune function. Also, the vitamin C found in kimchi can also help boost your immune health.

Professor Miri Kim of the Food Nutrition Department in Chungnam National University discovered Chinese cabbage and radish found in kimchi contain bio-chemicals such as isocyanate and sulfide helpful in detoxifying heavy metals found in your liver, small intestine, and kidney.

Fermented foods like kimchi contain histamine, which can elevate adrenaline, making it a great natural way to boost your energy. Additionally, the riboflavin found in kimchi helps the body metabolize carbohydrates and fats into glucose for energy.
