10 Benefits of Kimchi
Benefit #9: Slows Aging
As we get older, our cells gradually pick up damage. Although small, this damage will accumulate over time, leading to something more significant. This is largely the cause of aging, and all of us will inevitably end up looking older as time goes by. Eat plenty of kimchi, though, and you may be able to slow the process down.
Kimchi is a very good source of antioxidants. These are compounds that help prevent the process of oxidation, which is responsible for a lot of damage at the cellular level. Kimchi is thought by many to be behind the perceived youthful looks that South Koreans maintain even into older life.
