We Romanians have been using sauerkraut since forever. The fermented juice is considered medication for the digestive system even if is very salted.
I always had a gut feeling that cabbage is good.
😅😅😅
Ohhhh....🤤

Maybe that's why it's traditional to eat it on New Year's day to give yourself a good start for the year.
LMAO!
When I was a little girl I was helping my mom to make sauerkraut. During winter times, we didn’t have that many fresh vegetables so sauerkraut was a stable at our house. During summer, we would make dill pickles in brine. Love it to this day. Take care of your body and feed it with the best food possible.
Ogórki małosolne are awesome and are vastly available in summer
can you share the recipe
Hi am non european. Is Sauerkraut the same as cabbage?
@Robpires yes it is as far as I know
Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage. I am Pennsylvania Dutch and as a child I could smell it at dinner time from every house on the street. It is eaten daily. I like the Bavarian type as it is not so sour.
I am literally eating a bucket of this stuff while listening and my gut feels AWESOME
Have eaten a forkful of sauerkraut every day for the last year & a half. I’ve Have had no common cold or any flu or sickness ever since. (Thank you Dr. Berg!!)
You may have killed your thyroid gland
@@billyrubin8667 what
@@billyrubin8667 Could you elaborate?
@@pamelareynaud8502 High amounts may affect the thyroid
Some evidence suggests that consuming cabbage in high amounts may affect your thyroid.
Substances called goitrogens in cabbage can inhibit iodine transport to the thyroid, a process necessary for normal thyroid function.
In fact, a few studies have noted a correlation between cruciferous vegetable intake and the risk of thyroid cancer, although the results were somewhat inconclusive.
Furthermore, goitrogens are found in higher amounts in raw cabbage, so those with thyroid conditions, such as hypothyroidism, may choose to avoid consuming cabbage juice.
However, a significant amount of research on cruciferous vegetables and disease prevention suggests that the benefits may outweigh the potential risks.
Koreans and germans consume cabbage a lot by the way. I suggest you to check your Iodine level regularly if it's the case for you.
@@billyrubin8667 Thank you, that's good info. And a lot of typing lol. Very nice of you : )
I'm Russian and sauerkraut isn't a problem for me, it's my favorite type of "salad" on keto diet. And it's very useful for health.
I'm not Russian and sauekraurt isn't a problem for me either Go figure !!
I'm German and sauerkraut isn't a problem for me.👍
I’m Scottish/Norwegian and sauerkraut isn’t a problem for me.
Im Irish American and cabbage isnt a problem for me either. 🙃
The sauerkraut sold in shops has been pasteurised and the process destroys the beneficial bacteria. Have you got a good recipe so I can make it at home please 🤗
grandparents grew up during the great depression. They always had saurkraut or potatoes. They lived past a lot of doctors expectations and foods like this is proof that eating healthy is great for you at the end of your life cycle.
Another similar superfood is Korean Kim Chi. It's fermented Napa cabbage, garlic, peppers, and a couple other simple ingredients. It has a powerful aroma, so unless you're in Korea, you may have people giving you funny looks if you're in a public place right after eating some. It's delicious, and it makes you feel great. I crave it, and have some for dinner almost every day.
Fantastic flavor! Love it and will be making my own!!
Hi❤How do u make it, can you make it low sodium 🧂 thanks 😊 God bless ✝️
Ill never eat anything from Korea. Just search fake foods bring sold in Korea. # no thanks.
@@brendawoods8924 There are lots of videos on TH-cam on how to make it.
Salt water is used to soften the cabbage but it gets rinsed 3-4 times so there isn't much salt content left, and never use table salt, always a coarse kosher salt like Himalayan or Celtic Sea
Growing up in 80's Czechoslovakia this was (and is till this day) people's favourite Vit C dose. You were are tought at school that Vit C doesn't get purer or better than this. Summer activity with your nan 😊to shred & fill a 60 - 70 liter ceramic pot with cabbage & caraway seeds, salt etc so its readily available through the winter, until next summer.
We eat it raw with meats, potatoes etc. And I love it.
Fact (according to old school teachers) - sailors, discoverers used to take a huge barrel of sauerkraut with them on their voyages to prevent them getting Scurvy - disease caused by lack of Vit C.
Were you able to keep the pot sitting out at room temp? Or did you "can" it?
We just sucked on Limes
mkaurn True! Amazing they taught that at school! America teaches grains and low fat diet for optimal health! Oh and only drugs and surgery for proper health 😆
@@MrTaytersDeep So *that's* where the term "limey bastard" comes from.
@@TheUtuber999 Yeah pal you got it! Limey Bastards, Limey as we sucked on said limes, and Bastards cause we owned the world sailing round it, whilst sucking on those Limes 👍
I use saurkraut when my stomach aches. I now eat it regularly and my digestive system has never felt better!
Should a person experiencing GERD have it? Doesn't the sourness make things worse? Expecting a reply ... Thank you♡♡♡♡
@@WoSarvatraHain I know of a case when GERD was healed through fasting.
Same here!
Love Saurkraut, Kimchi and Kombucha, all homemade, the best, also can't forget homemade sourdough bread
Sauerkraut is truly a powerhouse of energy. I do two spoon fulls in the am with eggs and
its an incredible energy booster.
Eggs 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Sounds delicious
Isn't that caising you diarrhea?
@@nubarkemwer6399 LOL!! 🤣Not yet. I don’t do it every day.
I just started eating Sauerkraut, and within a week I feel much 'lighter'. I always thought it tasted awful, but tastes just like pickles. Great info, eat it!! Easy to make, very inexpensive, and the benefits are amazing.
Same! I just assumed it wasn’t tasty, but I’m into it now!
you make it instead of just buying it? please explain
@@alejandromoreno5056 lots of recipes on internet. it's easy!! And way cheaper.
How much grams can we take maximum? Sodium is too high in sauerkraut
@@pluzmedia it's only 200 mg per serving, not high at all. you're not supposed to stuff your face
My friend asked me "what happened? You lost your weight and you look so good" I said "just listen to professionals, and dr. Berg is one of the best" I started to love my body my feelings. I eat eggs and vegetables and nuts, avocado all those nutrients which dr. Berg recommended. Im not soo dependent on carbs NOW (which I had eaten so much and my face had been always puffy and I felt tired before I started watching his videos.) And yes, I eat for example boiled potatoes and rice but not that much. And with the time being I feel that I don't feel hungry. Intermittent fasting makes wonder to the body. I would like to recommend his books they are awesome. Dr. Berg is the best! Wish you all live healthy and healthy. 👍🙏😘
I grew up knowing to eat fruits and veggies and healthy meat only.I thought everybody did.And the healthier I eat the hungrier I get but I dont gain any extra weight.
What are his books.
Please what's the name of the book.
Look on any TH-cam of Dr Eric Berg on any health-related topic, and he might mention his book.
Do you consume cardamom spice?
Being a "Kraut", I always have loved Sauerkraut. There is also a German fermented (or pickled) red cabbage dish that is sweet ( added sugar) and it is called "Rot Kohl" (Red Cabbage) . Just like Sauerkraut it can be served warm or cold.
When I was young , my Korean friends introduced me to Kimchi ( KimChee). Kimchi is fermented cabbage with spicy Korean peppers. All 3 of these cabbage dishes are awesome.
Kimchee is not for everyone, only for those who grew up on it and those with extremely strong stomach lining.
@@stonefireice6058 Kimchi is for everyone. You can easily make your own and adjust the spice. Some are not very spicy at all. Plus, kimchi is eaten as a smaller portion or a side dish - usually just a little along with a lot of other dishes. It has lots of good bacteria and with all the ginger, garlic, and cruciferous vegetables, it helps keep your system healthy. 😊
@@stonefireice6058 I first tried kimchee when I was 40, I love the stuff. :):)
In Germany the red cabbage (Rotkohl) is not fermented. I shred it, cook it for 1 minute in the pressure cooker, and season it with vinegar and sugar, to render it sweet-sour !
My mother starts with bacon slices , cut in small pieces and sautéed , she then adds the red cabbage and an apple and cooks it on very low heat ! The latter version is more delicious than the first one !
Love ROT KOHL.
You know the best sauerkraut is homemade, so easy to do it. Shredded manually or in your kitchen proccessor, 1 liter jar fill with a green cabbage add 1 full teaspoon of salt and fill with a water, cover up and keep in your countertop for 4 days or longer until fermented and it is ready to eat. So tasty and crunchy for salads.
Sea salt or regular table salt?
@@Crimson256kosher or sea salt
No vinegar??
@@teneshiasmith4080 it’s not necessary. You can look up how to make sauerkraut on TH-cam and most of them just use cabbage, water, and salt.
@@teneshiasmith4080no.
Love sauerkraut, mix with roasted garlic potatoes...Sauerkraut pierogi's rule...yeah I'm Polish
I love kraut pirogi, but I'll eat almost any pirogi. I'm Alsatian and german
My mom who passed away about 10 years ago made home made Pierogis and as a young boy I did not appreciate the sauerkraut in the variety that she made but man if I could go back in time....
The pierogi are with regular cabbage, not sauerkraut.
I’m of Polish decent. Grew up on it!! Love it. ❤️
Ruth Biafora I get mine from a polish grocery store😊
Just started to eat it ❤♥️
I love it too! 😋👍 And beautiful Polish women as well Ruth! 😘
How's your thyroid gland though?
Make it yourself...super easy, cabbage & salt
I always wondered why I would go back to the cabbage soup detox when I felt horrible. It was not just about losing weight but that about I would feel so much better physically and emotionally after eating it for a few days. Stiffness and arthritis and misery would just melt away and my mood would become better. Cabbage is the key!
Thank you for sharing I will try as well..
I like the fact that you're a bike rider.
I'm 71 and cant anymore but I dream about it. Got a stationary bike now.
I watch your clips a lot. Thankyou.
😊 Thk u , Dr Thk u for beautiful lessens.Thk u.😊
I think your the best Dr I've seen on TH-cam. My own Dr is trash. He always just wants to prescribe medication, never alerting me as to how to avoid certain things and foods, to be more healthy. Thanks Doc.
I appreciated hearing about a book called: I Fired My Doctor and Saved My Life.
@@rare1walking ,
you sacked your GP ??
Ha, ha, ha !!👍🐪
@@juerbert1 The book was written by a man who was waiting for a heart transplant and learned about supplements, I believe.
But I sacked mine, too. Few are competent or well trained vs. Narrow Pharma-trained.
Yo
Most all doctors wearing white coats are trash. Rockefeller highjacked the medical and education system many years ago. The objective was to push petroleum based products that don’t heal
I live in Middle Europe and we eat a lot of sauerkraut here.
Best keto meal - sauerkraut with roasted duck. 😋
Roasted duck, yummmmm. I guess sauerkraut is okay since you have the duck.
I like the duck. I'm going to find a recipe and fresh supply. Thanks for mentioning it.
Not healthy for the duck!!!
Yum!! Sauerkraut goes with everything. I eat one with turmeric in it, makes it really nice
@@4406bbldb do not throw the duck fat away , it is very flavourful 1.
I started combining sauerkraut and kefir eating them at almost the same time. My Crohn's symptoms are alleviated 10-fold (whatever one can consider a fold), basically vanished if taken regularly throughout a single day, though even after the first time there's an extreme decrease in pain. I think it's the combination, especially maybe if sauerkraut is prebiotic. (This could be from me using an antibiotic, before stopping and then eating this combination, rather than believing this would help someone with "an infection" feel better; or maybe it always works.)
I also started eating pretty much exclusively grass fed organic beef for meat, which isn't even that expensive at Wal-Mart Neighborhood Markets. This helps a lot, too. Each of these definitely help in their own way.
Which kefir do you use?
So glad your able to heal yourself. Good for you. Keep going.
Grew on saurkraut !
Best one was obviously made at home with black salt.
NO STUPID VINEGAR !
The dishes you can make out of it are superb and all so very healthy
Reasonably I have taught my friend from India how to eat and cook it
She never knew how great it is.
😊
Being an old (68 years) German I love sauerkraut. Make it when we have a surplus of cabbage
Important note: Most Sauerkraut sold in the stores has been pasteurised and therefore, most of the good bacteria has been killed off within the processing of it (heating). You have to find un-pasteurised sauerkraut.
Yes, that's true, that's why I make my own sauerkraut and actually it's very easy to do
Normally the ones in the cans are to be avoided. The canning process alone kills off the good bacteria. So to find a bottled kind that are not pasteurized is the point.
@@lzb1363 I've only ever seen it in jars here in the UK.
@@Nadia-je8rp mine always smells funny when im following the correct guidelines :(
True look at the sodium content in it very high
Making homemade sauerkraut is very affordable. It’s three ingredients: cabbage, salt, and patience (takes about 3-4 weeks to ferment). If you have the mushy kind that’s at room temperature when purchased at the grocery store, it will not have the same probiotic benefits as the refrigerated stuff.
can you post instructions?
Mine has always been ready in 3-5 days! 3-4 weeks seems like an astronomical amount of time and it would be very bitter.
I think that's a typo. My kraut sits on the counter 4-5 days and is ready. Then I just keep it in the fridge. Amazing!
Lived as a kid in a Chicago polish neighborhood, learned to love sauerkraut!
Living in Mexico for many years after, I tried to follow recipes that only got me rotten cabbage ,
until bless TH-cam I was able to get homemade sauerkraut. Now all these wonderful health benefits are a plus! I also prepare the Salvadorian style and also delicious thank God for cabbage and for Dr. Erick and your videos
My mom never talked to us about nutrition but I remember eating all these things as a child. I don't know if she prpaired these foods because that was how her mom did it. I remember being healthy at home. Amazing how all our diets have changed and now I remember what you are talking about from my childhood.
I just automatically understand what you are saying. This was from the 50's.
Wow! That’s something I did not know! Your the GREATEST Dr. Berg! Merry Christmas and The Best 2020 New Year EVER to you and your Family!
I love sauerkraut. It's great sprinkled in a green salad. Make sure to get the fermented uncooked type.
If you like Korean food, kimchi has all the same benefits as sauerkraut. And a few more since it is usually made with ginger, garlic, radish, and other good seasonings and vegetables.
I'm a product of two Slavic grandmothers. I exude lacto-fermented sauerkraut.
Good for you. Those are good genes to have. You are probably good looking too.
I can't imagine. Just the smell of sauerkraut makes me lose my appetite.
why exclude it?
@@alexandrugeorgiu3575 He wrote 'EXUDE' not exclude.
I enjoy making my own. So damn healthy
Spot on about raw cabbage helping to heal stomach ulcers. I've been touting this for many years. It simply works.
Thank you Doctor for your knowledge and sharing with all.
Everyone take care and know there are better ways to maintain health and you do have a choice.
How many days do you drink it for?
@costeno6420 I ate it when I was having the worse symptoms for several weeks.
When I got my stomach acids stablyized it got much better. I also maintain that gut health now with kifer and ginger flavored/enhanced Kombucha.
I eat coleslaw twice a week. Raw cabbage and it's juice is great and as effective.
Thank you Dr Berg, you’re such a good Dr, I refer many of my clients to you.. you deserve the Noble Prize for how many people you have helped with your knowledge. You are so appreciated 🙏
Soooo easy to make! Lactose fermented carrots, peppers, garlic also yummy and very easy. Water (no chlorine please) and salt (no iodine!) and a large jar with a weight to keep the veg under the brine. Top the mix with a cabbage leaf, weight down with a glass weigh (I use a small jar filled with brine and a plastic jar lid, like a mayo lid, no metal please) set it on the counter, covered, and "burp" it every day by pushing it down with a wooden spoon to get the bubbles out. Make sure the veg is still covered with the salt water, if not add more brine. In 5 to 10 days it is ready for the fridge and eating! It ferments slower in cold temp and in hotter weather it is much faster so 5-10 days or when you are happy with the flavor. I pack mine into big "pickle jars" that I save up, and keep a quart jar filled from that. The big jar in the back of the fridge and the small one in front. Ditto for my kraut and also my garlic dill pickles. Lots of recipes on TH-cam, just do a search! Tomorrow I start a 4 pound batch of baby carrots with peppers, garlic, etc. added into the mix. Soooo yummy and soooo easy.
why would you not want iodine
you crazy?
Great tips! Fermenting my second batch of kraut, here. Tried a single Mason jar ferment for first attempt and am so hooked. Got myself an 80-ounce pickle jar fermenting now with cabbage, caraway seeds, mustard seed, and some rosemary. Love the tip about the plastic jar. Many thanks!!!
And canning salt, of course, with filtered water.
Iodized salt makes the brine cloudy. Best to use canning salt as it is also a finer grind which dissolves faster when you can food.
Thanks for the tip on the plastic lid. I would have gone to my mason jar with the metal lid.
Sauerkraut and Brats! perfect!!
Add a beer 🍺 or two 🍻 and I‘m in.
He didn't mention the brats but they go together , I grew up in Germany
Mmmmm. Brats and Sauerkraut! 😁👍
I am of Russian/Ukrainian descent. Sauerkraut is a like a daily staple in our family. The slow-cooked version of sauerkraut with caraway seeds, brown sugar, a small clump of salt pork or pork belly, onions, apple, bay leaf and chicken broth is called KAPUSTA (which is actually a polish word) and it's often used as a side dish or put on hot dogs or served with kielbasa or other meat dishes. It may sound icky but it is delicious -- and GOOD for you. Eat a half of a cup 3 or 4 times a week, you always be "regular".
Actually sounds very good
Also be sure to eat raw uncooked sauerkraut!
I'm so happy that I found you on here! You're the only person that I trust with health benefits. Also due to many things that you mentioned, sounds similar like my old ones who used to do same remedies for long long time ago
Hi Dr. Berg, I would appreciate if you would also mention that, what you say applies to unpasteurized sauerkraut and not to pasteurized or cooked sauerkraut. I do make my own sauerkraut in jars and it's really easy to make I add 10 grams of Himalayan salt to each kg of raw cabbage. Its also very good for people who suffer from constipation.
I appreciated your recipe.... !!!! David Australia 🇦🇺 ....thanks
Hiiii..... I appreciated the 10 gms per kilo .... would you like to share a few more details..... method of preparation .... I have researched a few different ways.... but I am interested to know what your method is .... I've made a few batches of Kim Chi .... Have you had any experience with this ? Kind regards David Australia 🇦🇺 & a happy, safe, healthy ,new year ..... 2024 ....
I love sauerkraut. It’s lovely when food tastes good and is good for your body ❤️. Ty Dr. Berg.
I love sauerkrat, so seeing a title being told I need to eat more of it...No complaints there!
My parents came from a pretty solid German family even though they’ve been in America for several generations.
My Mom was a good cook but she basically cooked what her and my Father liked. So me being born I 1946 I got see and eat it all during my younger years. Those were the days that if you didn’t eat what was put on the table then you got hungry.
I remember just once not liking what was cooked by my Mom and later on my Father warned me that if either of us hurt Mom’s feelings it wouldn’t work out well for everyone in the house. So I might not have liked some of the things that were served but I ate them just to keep Mom happy and to this day I still eat some of those same dishes that I didn’t like when I was a kid.
Thank u Doctor Berg. I was diagnosed with mild ulcerative colitis this year and I never heard so much good news in just 5 min 🙏 ill def give this food a try
Did you eat it? How do you feel
You still OK? Just wanna know
Dr. Berg, you have viewers from all over the world as seen in the comments section. Keep up the great work. I have learned so much from you I don't listen to what the food company sponsored health experts say when they come on TV anymore.
Better for your health that way!
We LOVE sauerkraut! I grew up with my grandparents making it. It is VERY good! Thank you!
This weekend I bought a qt of sauerkraut at the Farmers market. I love it and I'm going to learn how to ferment my own.
My cupboards are now full of Sauerkraut I love it. My digestive issues have rapidly improved, Thank you so much🇬🇧👍
I’ve been waiting for this.Thanks Dr. Berg. Happy Holidays your the best.
Great video. How much to take and when? I currently take 2 fork fulls of sauerkraut in the morning on empty stomach and again before dinner. I started taking sauerkraut one week ago, definitely helps me with stomach bloating!
One time I ate a whole can of sour kraut. I forgot about it and I was sitting on a chair reading. I thought I had a demon in the room. This scary horrible growl started and mumbles. I was really scare because I was alone. Then i felt this familiar pain in the belly. I heard the demon again but this time I felt it in my belly. It cleaned my belly out like a tornado inside a barn. My commode viborated like a tuba and WHEW i WAS CLEANED OUTSO GOOD I DID NOT HAVE TO USE BATHROOM AGAIN FOR A LONG WHILE...Its good stuff and good for the colon....
I have learned soo much from you. Thank you for your videos.
Great advice Berg!
Thx for the sauerkraut talk. Now I know why I feel so good after eatting sauerkraut!
I just learned how to make it and I’ve been eating it a lot! I always hated cabbage but sauerkraut is soo delicious on my meals!!
When I leaved in Europe, we were making sauerkraut at home so I know how all process look like,... Now I live in USA... And I noticed some companies are using vinegar to make cabbage sour... I am eating a lot of sauerkraut but I'm buying in European stores.... Sir you have a great videos!!!!!

"NAC" also has an extra benefit of cleaning the lungs of mucus and helps people with other issues. Can be hard to find cause the government wants to make it a prescribed substance. Anyway good luck and don't listen to anyone who isn't supportive of you.

I started making sauerkraut at home, it's so easy! thank you Dr. Eric for a great summary on the advantages and disadvantages of sauerkraut
How
Post your recipe bro
How you make it
@@nomorenews My Dad made sauerkraut every fall. Had a good size crock along with a manual cabbage slicer which went over the crock. Would slice a couple inches of cabbage then sprinkle with salt and every once in a while would punch down. Continue until about 8" from top. Punch down put a good size round dish on top and cover with clean clothe over top. Keep eye on it and remove sort of gooey stuff that rises to the top. Don't remember how long it took at least several weeks maybe more. It was the best because had a little less salt than store bought and was delicious. Often had leg of lamb mashed potatoes and sauerkraut for Sunday Dinner.
Ps. Forgot put large clean rock on top of plate to weigh it down.
I get a lot of helpful information from your channel because you present in such a clear manner. Don't several of these benefits of sauerkraut (eg Vitamin C and probiotics) only apply to non-pasturized sauerkraut, ie the stuff sold in most grocery stores?
I love sauerkraut. When I was a child a usrd to drink the juice resulted from the fermentation process. Is amazing.
Very useful content. Can you please make video on Curing/Controlling Asthma, like its symptoms, best & worst foods etc.
I am from Hungary, we eat this pickles regularly beside meals, I surely do! I love it
Persze!!!👍👌
I eat pickles or kimchi with my meals feeling/becoming healthy and skinny 😇
Hi Dr. Berg. Will kimchi offer the same effects you explained here as sauerkraut?
Thank you for your videos and all the useful information, truly appreciate it.
Thank you for the great content you make. It’s of great service to humanity. 👏🏽
I looooove sauerkraut! I tend to buy it in the bag in the refrigerator section at the grocery store. I love using it as a topping/dressing for my salad 🥗...it’s a natural vinaigrette and it beats having to use dressings with a ton of ingredients.
Thankyou I will try that on my salad now.
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar with the mother
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1-3 fresh garlic cloves
1-2 tablespoons dehydrated onion flakes
Blend in blender
This is my favorite salad dressing!
I hope you like it too!
Was raised on this wonderful food love it!
I love this doctor he is really informative and I like the sound of his voice very calming 😀
Thanks. Appreciate your message!
Thank you so much Dr Eric Berg, I really really enjoyed listening to the benefits that sauerkraut can bring us all. As always you bring us all so much useful information and knowledge. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Most welcome! Glad you found the information useful!
I love sauerkraut my mom used to make it with her spareribs yummmmm she added onions and bacon with paprika
Delicious
I was just thinking...I need to learn how to make my own....since I dont like can foods.
@@rebeccaspratling2865 Thanks!
This sounds delicious. If you add the onions and bacon to raw/cold sauerkraut, great! If you heat/fry your sauerkraut, be warned that it destroys the good bacteria you are trying to ingest.
TOP Dr ... greetings from Algiers
My dad was born in Germany and his parents loved this stuff. I love it too! I always eat a pile of it with some good sausages from the European deli in town. I still rip farts after, all good.
I started eating my sauerkraut today 28 January 2022 that I prepared on 14 January. waaooo awesome. And I am going to prepare another one so that in two weeks time I move on to the next jar. Thank you for sharing this useful information. I used to cook cabbage or do salads but this is the best recipe of using cabbage.
Was it a good decision for your health?
Super helpful & encouraging - Thanks! I do not enjoy sauerkraut, yet find substantial improvement with my many gut issues when I consume even small amounts of this stuff - it works!
Thank you Dr. Berg for your free ( educational ) advice. I love cabbage but I don’t eat it as much I should. I will eat it more fr, now on. God bless you and your family.❤️🙏🙏🙏
THANKS VERY MUCH DR. BERG FOR YOUR HELPFUL VIDEOS TO ENHANCE OUR HEALTH THE NATURAL WAY.
Thank you for this valuable information,I need to eat more of this because I have gut issues, never knew all this!😀👍
We are lucky to live in the era of Dr. Berg🙏❤️
After watching this , I tried eating this amazing food, it works well on me as I recently diagnosed as 'constipation' and had been suffering from bloating . Thank you, Dr. Berg
Also try consuming bone broth daily. 2 8oz cup per day would be ideal. You’ll see how much it will help you .
I really enjoy your program and I beleive I,am healther in my digestion .
Love the info. thanks. I forget about different foods, it really is a daily process.
I found this after my husband questioned if I should be eating half a jar of sauerkraut a week.. I eat it with any meat, eggs, and sometimes out of the jar 🙃
@Diana Moore That's the only good kind. Simple ingredients. The others are pasteurized and almost pointless to eat. Publix and whole foods are good sources. Look in the refrigerated sections.
@Diana Moore You're welcome.
Shhh...i do that too lol
Haha...that’s hardcore alright!
And good for you. You're welcome.
Fermented sauerkraut with rose hips is off the charts for vitamin c.
👍
Would be great if you release a book for referencing all this great info you've had on TH-cam over the years. Very good info.
im wondering if this is why I seem to have this endless energy lately we eat it EVERY DAY and even though my son has Hypothyroid issues he seems to be much more energetic as well and helping clear some of this eczema issues! AMEN!!! stay blessed and as always thanks you for taking time to share your knowledge and expertise...Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Hey Doc, You won't get any argument out of me!! I LOVE sauerkraut. I had no idea it was so healthy. Now I don't have to feel guilty for eating so much!
K2! sounds AMAZING!!
Awesome Video as usual Dr. Eric Berg. GOD BLESS!!!
just started making kimchi and saurekraut about 2 months ago and I have been eating it every day in my meals and I am feeling fantastic
I make it every month and we eat it daily and my young kids LOVE it. Just add salt, sometimes some garlic, it’s so easy!!
Do you add a spoonful of sauerkraut from your old batch, to the new batch you’re making? A good way of passing the nutrients on!
@@tomthomassony8607 no, I’ve never done that, but I suppose it might speed up the fermentation process!
This guy is awesome… I love his TH-cam content. It’s better than what you’d get going to your regular doctors office
Super information! Thanks!!!!
Wow, big thanks!
I eat sauerkraut and I find it very beneficial. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful advice
I started eating it a few weeks ago and my stomach has felt amazing ever since.
Any notable weight loss?
In Poland we have a few sauerkraut dishes like sauerkraut soup- kapusniak, sauerkraut dumplings- pierogi, sauerkraut stew - bigos
My grandmother's parents were from Poland. She lived to be a little past 100 years old. She always said it's because of sauerkraut, there may be some truth to that!
I appreciate your videos sooo much Dr Berg ❤️ thank you so much 🙏
Thank you Dr. Berg for all the valuable information in each one of your videos. God bless you.
I've been vegan for years. I feel great. As long as I don't accidently consume cheese( like ground cheese in plant burger patty,that I ate everyday for a week unkowingly) then I have 0 arthritis pain in my hips..and feel amazing. However the last month I started consuming about a cup or more daily of fermented kraut. I feel so good! I have so much energy and I run circles around all the 20 somethings at work. The only thing different is more kraut. Also to be transparent, I've not been taking my vitamins , like maybe once a week I'll remember..not sure which change is helping me.. But I feel great.and a side note: I have for 3 years eaten probably 1/4 cup of fermented cabbage daily. It's just now, since I eat around a whole cup that this huge surge of energy is happening.
