Kimchi, a traditional Korean dish of fermented vegetables, is not only a flavorful addition to meals but can also contribute to weight loss. This is due to the combination of low calories, high fiber content and the presence of probiotics that support digestion and intestinal health.
What is Kimchi?
Kimchi consists primarily of Chinese cabbage and radish, which are fermented with a mix of garlic, ginger, scallion, and often fish sauce and chili[. De fermentatie zorgt voor de ontwikkeling van melkzuurbacteriën, die bekend staan om hun positieve effecten op de darmflora
Hoe Draagt Kimchi bij aan Gewichtsverlies?
Laag in Calorieën, Hoog in Vezels
Kimchi bevat weinig calorieën en is rijk aan vezels, wat helpt om een vol gevoel te geven en overeten te voorkomen.
Probiotica en Spijsvertering
De probiotica in kimchi bevorderen een gezonde darmflora, wat essentieel is voor een goede spijsvertering en kan bijdragen aan gewichtsbeheersing.
Vermindering van Buikvet
Een studie van Chung Ang University in Zuid-Korea toonde aan dat mannen die drie porties kimchi per dag aten, minder buikvet hadden en minder kans hadden op overgewicht[1]. This is important because belly fat is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes.
Anti-obesity Effects
Previous studies have shown that the bacteria in kimchi have anti-obesity effects. Thus, regular consumption can help reduce the risk of abdominal and overall obesity.
How Do You Use Kimchi for Weight Loss?
As a side dish
Kimchi can be served as a side dish to various meals, adding extra flavor and nutrients without a lot of calories.
In Recipes
Kimchi can be added to soups, salads, stews and even on a grilled cheese sandwich for a spicy twist.
Moderate Consumption
Although kimchi offers health benefits, it is important to consume it in moderation. Too much kimchi can lead to an increase in fat and weight due to its high salt content.
Make Kimchi yourself
Making your own kimchi is an easy way to incorporate this healthy dish into your diet. There are many recipes available that will guide you through the process step by step.
