Are pickles healthy or unhealthy for you?!


Question: benefits?


Answers: benefits?

They are healthy. Here are some benefits :

pickles are high in fiber, which is healthy for the digestive track and helps prevent cancer.
pickles contain antioxidants and depending on the vegetable, are a great source of calcium, magnesium, and iron.
When pickles are fermented, lactic acid is created which helps to lower fat in the bloodstream, improve circulation, and lower blood pressure.
It has been found that eating fermented products regularly resulted in lower rates of skin problems, asthma, and auto-immune disorders.
Vinegar, which is used in the pickling process is known to boost the immune system, ease digestive disorders, and can break down calcium deposits in a person's joints. Vinegar is also anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.

healthy; their cucumbers.

benefits? not much, just a healthy snack.

except for all the salt in them, they're ok. No real value. Cut down if you can't take that much salt.

pickles are healthy for you. did you know that they are only 5 calories and it burns more calories to digest them than it is eating them? they are calorie reducers!

healthy in moderation.

I would think so.
