Sauerkraut with cranberries and apple

This low-calorie salad is incredibly healthy. To back up my words with evidence, I will tell you a little about the benefits of the products contained in the salad. 1) Cranberries are rich in vitamins (especially vitamin C), pectin substances, organic acids and sugars. This autumn berry contains fructose and glucose (to a lesser extent sucrose); citric, benzoic, malic, quinic, oleic acids, as well as oxalic and succinic acids in insignificant concentrations. It includes betaine, bioflavonoids, micro- and macroelements. Cranberry berries help to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood serum and strengthen the walls of blood vessels. They prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of small and medium-sized arteries, and also prevent the formation of blood clots. The use of cranberries leads to an increase in efficiency and a decrease in inflammatory processes in the body. The substances included in its composition have antibacterial properties. 2) Sauerkraut contains vitamins A, B, C, K and U, pectin, calcium and sulforaphane. These substances prevent the occurrence of many gastrointestinal diseases. It is rich in iron, potassium, magnesium and zinc. Sauerkraut increases immunity, increases the stress resistance of the body, activates metabolism and promotes stimulation of the production of red blood cells. 3) Onions are no less useful, which is also rich in vitamins A, B, C, E, PP and trace elements: calcium, magnesium, potassium, iodine, sodium, iron, manganese, zinc, etc. Eat to your health!
