The findings indicate that regular kimchi consumption may help reduce body fat and improve gut health, supporting past research on its anti-obesity effects.
Dr. Hae-Choon Chang noted, 'The results of a preclinical study and a clinical trial have systematically verified the anti-obesity effects of kimchi...laying the foundation for the growth of kimchi as a health food.'
Participants consuming kimchi daily in a 12-week trial experienced an average body fat mass reduction of 0.6 to 0.89 kg, approximately 2.6% in body fat.
Little is known about how kimchi produces these effects, highlighting a gap in understanding its role within the gut microbiome and weight management.
