Korean research: Kimchi helps to relieve COVID-19's symptoms. What is the scientific basis?

Korean traditional fermented kimchi may help to relieve COVID-19's symptoms. This study was jointly conducted by the World Kimchi Institute funded by the Korean government and the honorary professor of lung medicine in France. Studies have found that eating kimchi may reduce the infection rate in COVID-19. Pickle contains a metabolite produced by fermentation, which has the characteristics of reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction. ? Various nutrients contained in the main raw materials of kimchi, such as Chinese cabbage, red pepper and garlic, can control the antioxidant system in the human body and block the neural channels for sensing the symptoms of COVID-19's disease, thus alleviating the symptoms. ?

Really? After the research results spread on the Internet, netizens said in succession, is this research result serious? This questioning attitude of netizens is easy to understand. After all, during the COVID-19 epidemic in South Korea, the epidemic situation was not optimistic. Obviously, almost everyone in South Korea has the habit of eating kimchi every day. Whether it works or not depends on reality! During the Korean epidemic, the situation was very tense, which also made netizens feel that this research result could not stand scrutiny.

However, I personally think that kimchi contains cabbage, garlic, pepper and so on. There is no doubt that these ingredients can form an antioxidant system in the human body. However, due to the antioxidant system, COVID-19 can be blocked to relieve symptoms, which I think is a bit one-sided. Of course, different people have different opinions. Now that the experts have come to the conclusion, it's nothing more than eating kimchi anyway, and it's no harm to eat more.

Kimchi Many netizens said that they finally understood why the price of Korean kimchi remained high during the epidemic. In fact, kimchi can relieve COVID-19's symptoms. Can the price of kimchi be low? Many netizens said, I'm afraid Koreans didn't expect kimchi to be used. Medicinal materials? Yes Whether this conclusion is widely accepted or not, eat more kimchi!
