Fight Fat and Inflammation with This Sauerkraut Recipe

 Let's face it, there are two types of people in this world: those who love and those who despise sauerkraut. While it definitely isn't one of the most popular foods out there, it's definitely one of the healthiest. Sauerkraut, along with other types of fermented foods, has many health benefits. Therefore, if you're looking for a great way to improve the way you eat, adding sauerkraut to your meals at dinner time might just be your answer.

One health benefit is that it's great for your digestive system. It's a probiotic, which means that it's packed with all the good bacteria that your digestive tract requires. These good bacteria include Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria - both of which help break down lactose, sugars, and starches which ultimately helps aid digestion. 

However, the benefits are not all stomach-related. Sauerkraut can improve skin conditions, oral health, and vaginal health. Furthermore, it can also prevent allergies as well as help maintain a healthy immune system. If this isn't enough, it can also help with weight loss. 

Whether you are a long-time lover of sauerkraut, or whether you'd like to try it for the first time, below is just the recipe for you. This recipe will give you one gallon of sauerkraut.

Ingredients: 

5 lbs shredded cabbage 

2 tbsp. sea salt or pickling salt 

1 tbsp. caraway seeds 

1 onion quartered 

Method:

1. Mix all of the ingredients, apart from the onion, in a large bowl and let it stand for 10 minutes. 

2. Pack the cabbage mixture into a large glass food container. Place the quartered onion on top to weigh the cabbage down. 

3. Cover the container with a paper towel and secure it using a rubber band. Store in a cool spot and leave overnight.

4. The following day, check the container to ensure that the sauerkraut is completely submerged in liquid. Then, every other day for the next 2 weeks, check in the same way. A layer of scum might appear on top of the sauerkraut - skim this layer if needed. 

5. After a period of at least 4 weeks, the sauerkraut will be ready. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 6 months.

Cleanse your Intestines with these 4 Ingredients

Many of us suffer from digestive problems that are harmful to our health, such as constipation, cramps, irritable bowel syndrome, and more. Despite the complexity and frustration that these problems cause, the solution for you is probably in a very close and accessible place - your kitchen. 

 

A healthy diet that helps remove toxins and intestinal parasites is a very effective tool for improving the quality of life of anyone with digestive problems, and if you experience them, you should try it out. A great way to get started is by using a special, simple drink to prepare you for a thorough cleanse of your digestive system using just four ingredients:

The four ingredients: apple, ginger, and lemon, with little sea salt 

 

Each of the ingredients in this drink has important functions in cleansing the intestines, which are outlined below. 

 

Here's what each ingredient does: 

 

Apple  

Apples provide the body with a very high amount of fiber, and specifically pectin fibers, which help clear the intestines when they pass through them, reduce cholesterol levels in the body and are considered anti-bacterial. In addition, apples are rich in minerals that are beneficial to our bodies’ health, and there’s even a detox diet that includes eating apples almost exclusively for five days. Of course, this is an extreme and far-fetched diet that could cause damage to the body and is not to be used, especially considering the awesome recipe below.

Ginger 

 

In India, ginger has been used for more than 5,000 years to cure various diseases, including digestive problems. Ginger increases the secretion of digestive juices and encourages the movement of the intestines, thus helping to release the excrement from the body along with the waste and toxins present in it. In addition, a study at the University of Michigan Medical School found that ginger intake helps reduce symptoms of colitis, which is considered a precursor of colon cancer.

Lemon  

 

Lemon contains many antioxidants and a high amount of vitamin C, which is soluble in water and therefore can pass easily in the intestines and destroy free radicals and various toxins - an ability that also makes the lemon effective in preventing intestinal cancer. In addition, its atomic structure is very similar to that of the chlorine hydrogen in our digestive juices, and it encourages the liver to produce bile - a fluid required for normal digestion processes. Drinking lemon water also has health benefits.

 

Sea salt 

 

Although you may doubt salt as a healthy ingredient, you should first know that most of the harmful salt we consume comes from processed food, and generally, there is nothing wrong with adding a little sea salt to food unless you have a medical problem and your doctor has instructed otherwise. Sea salt can release fluid retention, and adding it to this drink gives it the ability to contribute to the process of washing toxins from the intestines out of the body.

Cleanse Your Body With 1 of 10 Great Detox Bath Recipes

Detox baths represent the perfect method for getting rid of all the bad stuff that likes to house itself in your body, namely toxins, which are poisonous substances (usually proteins) that you ingest as a result of what you eat and the environmental factors you're exposed to. While you might have heard of some of these detox bath recipes in the past, there are some in this list that I'm sure you haven't heard of before: 

 

1. Essential Oils  

This detox bath is as simple as adding a few drops of essential oils to your bath water. You can even select the essential oils you're going to add in accordance with a current problem you're facing. For instance, you can feel totally fatigued after a long day at work, and choose peppermint essential oil to add to your bath to give you vitality and energy. Seeing as all essential oils are geared towards remedying some physiological problem or other, you can customize your detox bath accordingly. 

 

2. Hydrogen Peroxide

Also called an oxygen detox bath, this one is ideal if you've been around a big group of people or traveled by bus, train or plane that day. This is because it helps your body get rid of toxins while having antibacterial and antiviral properties. To reap the full benefit of this detox bath, make sure you soak in the tub for at least half an hour, and also remember to take the time to calm and quieten your mind.

3. Sea Salt 

 

This detoxifying bath can trace its roots all the way back to ancient times - people who lived back then had knowledge of sea salt's ability to purify the body. The key thing with this detox bath is to add real sea salt rather than the kind that's iodized and sold in bulk in cylindrical containers. 

 

4. Baking Soda 

Detox Bath If you're looking to de-stress, then this bath might be the one to choose. Simply add some baking soda straight from the kitchen cupboard to your bath water, and this will help neutralize the effects of the chlorine and fluoride that's normally added to public water sources. After all, it's difficult to detox in a bath that's full of toxic chemicals! 

 

5. Bentonite Clay Detox Bath 

Over time, the human body can become filled with excess levels of heavy metals, however bentonite clay is a great way of releasing them from it. This is because bentonite clay has magnetic properties that can literally pull out the heavy metals from your body. 

 

6. Ginger Detox Bath

Grate some fresh ginger root or sprinkle some ginger powder into your bath. Ginger is said to increase the body's ability to sweat, thus boosting its ability to release harmful toxins. In fact, a ginger bath's effects are often compared to sitting in a sauna or steam room, leading to increased energy, an increased feeling of cleanliness, and alleviating the symptoms of an upcoming cold.

7. Seaweed Detox Bath 

 This is a particularly special detox bath, because it incorporates a mix of clay, bladderwrack and kelp to create something quite unique. This combination of ingredients is said to increase blood flow through the body, as well as increase the amount of lymph fluids. Simply combine the ingredients together, mix them up and put them in your bath water prior to a nice, long soak. 

 

8. Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Bath 

Try adding apple cider vinegar to your bath to help with conditions like arthritis and gout, or if you have anything else caused by inflammation. It's also a good detox bath to consider if you have the tendency to lie awake at night with a wandering mind. 

9. Epsom Salt Detox Bath

 

Epsom salt is said to have the ability to boost circulatory system function in the body, as well as improving nerve functions. It's also good for drawing out toxins from the body. 

 

10. Magnetic Clay Detox Bath 

As its name suggests, magnetic clay is magnetized, therefore it has the ability to draw certain harmful things from the body. This clay can be used to treat ailments such as having an excessive amount of mercury in the body, or other heavy metals such as arsenic or aluminum. In fact, there are different types of magnetic clay that you can add to your bath depending on your ailment.
