10 Benefits of Sauerkraut
Benefit #3: Anti-Inflammatory
Inflammation in the body can lead to various unwanted side effects, some of which can be very unpleasant. Among the most common is arthritis, which can cause considerable pain and lead to a loss of mobility. If we can reduce inflammation, then we can at least reduce the severity of the symptoms in many cases.
Sauerkraut contains various compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties. Phytonutrient antioxidants, for example, have anti-inflammatory properties in addition to helping prevent damage to the joints through oxidation. It is not a cure, but it may at least be able to help make patients with certain conditions feel more comfortable.
