The Food that Helps You to Detox Pesticides

'Optimizing your gut flora is one of the most powerful nutritional interventions you can implement to stay healthy. That is one of the reasons why removing sugar and processed foods from your diet help you so much in that they improve your gut flora. '

Ideally it is best to use fermented foods to help you repopulate the good bacteria into your bowel. Kimchi is a fermented food that can help you improve your gut health. I don’t happen to enjoy it but many do. It is a traditional Korean dish made from fermented vegetables and a spicy blend of chili peppers, garlic, scallions and other spices. 

It’s common to find kimchi at almost every Korean meal, where it is served alone as a side dish, mixed with rice or noodles, or used as an ingredient in soups or stews.'

How to Make Cucumber Kim Chi

by Dr. Ben Kim

'One of the joys of Korean cuisine is having a number of healthy and yummy side dishes to eat along with each main course.

Kim chi - fermented, spicy cabbage - is easily the most celebrated Korean side dish.

Few non-Koreans know that hundreds if not thousands of varieties of kim chi are made throughout Korea. Makes perfect sense, of course, since you can make kim chi out of most varieties of vegetables.

Why should you consider eating kim chi now and again? It's a tasty way to give your body a number of nutrients that come with raw vegetables, including those found in raw garlic.

Combine raw garlic, plenty of enzymes, and a long list of antioxidants with the probiotics that come with naturally fermented kim chi, and you have yourself a true superfood that provides a powerful strengthening effect on your immune system.'
