9Prevent Cancer
The high levels of antioxidants in some ingredients of fermented foods would help you prevent some forms of cancer. These compounds are powerful in minimizing DNA damages, suppressing cell growth, and prevent the mutations of some cells. All of these effects reduce the risk of tumor development. The fermentation process can also produce some plant components that would eliminate pre-cancerous cells, which are also known as carcinogens. By adding fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, or cheese to your diet, you would lower the risk and enjoy better health. [9]
