Kimchi
What’s inside:
Probiotics, vitamin C, A, carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, iron, electrolytes, B vitamins, fiber
This tasty (and spicy) food has been a staple in Korean diet for centuries. Kimchi is sometimes called a supercharged form of sauerkraut. It usually contains cabbage, red peppers onions, scallions, garlic and salt. It is a fantastic source of probiotics and many people in Korea eat it daily.
Did you know America is one of the only countries whose citizens don’t eat fermented food regularly? Like we always say, your gut is the center of your health and wellbeing. One of the best things you can do to take care of it is to eat probiotic-filled foods and supplements on a daily basis.

Health Benefits:
Like other probiotic rich foods, kimchi is extremely powerful for healing the gut. Researchers in Korea have published a review of over 130 studies done to prove the amazing healing properties of kimchi. It is used to help constipation, enhance the immune system, aid digestion of protein, prevent tooth decay, prevent obesity, and to prevent nutritional deficiencies. If your gut is stretched for good bacteria and other microorganisms, it cannot digest nutrients efficiently, no matter how many you eat.
Anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties:
In animal studies Kimchi has exhibited tumor-suppression abilities. Studies by Professor Miri Kim at Chungnam National University, along with many others, found that kimchi is effective in preventing cancer and detoxifying heavy metals in the liver, kidney and small intestine.
Kimchi is a good addition to salads. It can be eaten alone or used as a side dish. I like to mix it with wild rice and organic meat. You can serve it on top of any dish or even make it into a soup.

During my FitLife transformation, I lost 70 pounds! That's why I signed up for the protocol, but the most exciting result is that I found ME in the process. I had been hiding under a pile of pounds, self-doubt, and grief! FitLife changed my life and I knew I had to share it with others.

I started with Fitlife back in 2011-2012…I wrote into Fitlife asking for an extreme amount of help. I was 300 pounds, with high cholesterol, and Drew helped me transform my life. I lost over 130 pounds and I no longer have high cholesterol. Not only did I lose weight, so did my husband, who lost over 70 pounds!
