Cancer, anti-aging and lipid-lowering four fermented foods will help you healthy and slim

Natto helps women survive menopause

Many Japanese people have a bowl of natto with rice for breakfast; and as long as they ask the older generation of Japanese mothers how to get through menopause, the secret recipe is "natto".

Natto is a processed soybean product made by steaming and fermentation. The protein of soybeans is decomposed due to fermentation, and its nutritional value is easier to absorb. It is especially rich in vitamin B2, which is four times more than that of ordinary soybeans. It is a vitamin necessary for fat and sugar metabolism. It is useful for preventing obesity, arteriosclerosis, lowering blood lipids, and restoring fatigue.

"Nattokinase Nattokinase", which is often heard in recent years, has been confirmed by research to dissolve blood clots and prevent diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. Generally, blood clots occur in the morning, which is why many Japanese people eat natto for breakfast. It is considered to be a very effective diet.

Natto's zinc and flavonoids can supplement the body's estrogen deficiency. It not only significantly improves menopausal symptoms, but also contains calcium and vitamin K2, and can also prevent osteoporosis in women.

Miso prevents cancer and aging

In addition to natto, miso is absolutely indispensable on Japanese dining tables. Miso is made by fermentation of soybeans, rice yeast and salt. It is said that it is changed from the "sauce" in China, but it abandons the wheat yeast brewing method and uses rice yeast mixed with soybeans to brew.

Experts mentioned that although the mechanism is still unknown, secondary metabolites of bean fermentation products have also been found to inhibit tumor growth. A study published by the National Cancer Research Center of Japan pointed out that women who drink more than 3 bowls of miso soup a day have a 40% lower risk of developing breast cancer than women who drink only 1 bowl a day; and women who drink 2 bowls a day have a 26% lower risk of developing cancer. Another Japanese study also found that miso can prevent gastric cancer. Those who drink a bowl of miso soup every day have only one-third the risk of developing gastric cancer than those who do not drink miso soup.

Miso is also rich in soy isoflavones, which can prevent menopausal disorders and osteoporosis. The vitamin E, daidzein, and saponin Sapponin it also have antioxidant effects and help prevent aging.

Experts mentioned that miso is rich in mineral components such as iron, potassium, phosphorus, and sulfur, and the iron contained is blood matrix iron and has a high absorption rate in the human body. It is very suitable for preventing and improving anemia symptoms.
