A 102-year-old grandfather was seen eating raw cabbage instead of kimchi during meals. Instead of eating salted kimchi, people have been eating raw cabbage dipped in a small amount of soybean paste for decades. His grandfather was very interested in his health and said he often read books regarding longevity. Unlike some people who resignedly blamed genetics for getting cancer, his obsession with maintaining a healthy lifespan was remarkable. Let’s take a look once more at the health effects of kimchi and raw cabbage.
Rich in dietary fiber – lactic acid bacteria vs. excessive consumption of salt – salted seafood
Kimchi has two sides. There are many nutrients that are good for health, such as dietary fiber and lactic acid bacteria, but there are also many salts, such as salt and salted fish, that increase the risk of high blood pressure and stomach cancer. According to the National Cancer Information Center, the anticancer effect of kimchi is not clear. Studies examining the relationship between kimchi consumption and stomach cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer have yielded conflicting results, including that kimchi lowers the risk of cancer, actually increases it, or has no significant effect.
In order to eat kimchi more healthily, it is important to not make it too salty when pickling or seasoning the cabbage. Excessive salt intake can increase the risk of high blood pressure or stomach cancer. The 102-year-old grandfather’s claim is correct. Eat raw cabbage to reduce salt while retaining the cabbage’s nutrients. In fact, this grandfather’s blood pressure and stomach mucosa were normal.
“You need to eat salt for your health”… However, excessive intake is a problem
Salt is an essential ingredient for maintaining health. However, the problem is eating too much. Koreans consume two to three times the salt intake (5g) recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). The reason a nephrologist, who takes care of dialysis patients and performs kidney transplants who live hard lives every day, eats blandly is because he sees people in the field whose lives have collapsed due to excessive salt intake. To prevent kidney disease, the chain that leads to ‘salty eating habits – high blood pressure – chronic kidney disease’ must be broken.
Raw cabbage is good for diet… Low in calories and rich in moisture, dietary fiber, protein, and calcium
According to the National Standard Food Ingredients Table, 100g of raw cabbage contains only 15 kcal. It contains 94.8g of moisture, 1.25g of protein, and 1.4g of total dietary fiber, making it helpful for bowel cleansing and weight control. It also contributes to preventing constipation and colon cancer. It is also rich in calcium (53 mg) and phosphorus (40 mg), which support bone health, making it especially good for middle-aged women. It also contains 258 mg of potassium, which excretes salty substances from the body.
In addition to raw cabbage, I also enjoy mixed grain rice and protein-rich mackerel side dishes.
Some people have intestinal discomfort when eating raw cabbage. If you have chronic colon disease, it is better to eat it cooked. The green leaves of cabbage contain a lot of vitamin C, which remains even when heated, so it can be used to make soup. The 102-year-old grandfather, who lives alone following his grandmother passed away, ate mixed grain rice and protein-rich mackerel in addition to raw cabbage. He did his own farming and had no trouble with his daily life. Although he cannot generalize a person’s diet, it is worth using as a reference.
Healthy lifespan (healthy longevity) is a product of effort in addition to being born with it. Eating good food, moving a lot, and being knowledgeable regarding health are also helpful. The passion of reading books that help you live longer and putting them into practice even following you are over 100 years old is also worthy of imitation.
