Kimchi And Other Fermented Food
Studies have shown that in addition to the nutrients that we get from food, substances produced by the normal bacteria found inside our guts also help with our overall health. Certain food contain what are scientifically called probiotics or substances that help gut microorganisms produce helpful substances for us to absorb. These helpful substances affect different aspects of our body functions, including the regulation of blood pressure. Fiber-rich food, especially fermented ones such as Kimchi (less salt = better), is a good source of probiotics to help encourage good bacteria in our intestines to produce blood pressure regulating enzymes.
