The aging of the human body is an irresistible change, but knowing how to keep in good health helps to delay aging. What are the eating habits of Japanese people in terms of health and longevity? Natto? Playing an indispensable role, many people live a beautiful old age because of natto.

Natto is a food fermented from soybean, and its nutritional value is quite high. Natto is a soybean food fermented by Bacillus natto attached to straw, which is sticky and has a unique smell. Natto not only contains the high nutritional value of soybean, but also the nattokinase produced after fermentation has a good health care function, and its nutritional components are better absorbed.

The role of prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases

I believe that everyone is familiar with thrombosis, and cardiovascular diseases are most afraid of vascular embolism. Therefore, the solubility of thrombus depends on the thrombolytic substance -T-PA and the thrombolytic substance -PAI- 1, and the blood concentration of PAI- 1 may increase due to obesity, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, stress and inflammation, which makes the thrombus difficult to dissolve.

The nattokinase in natto can decompose PAI- 1 and improve the solubility of thrombus. In addition, natto contains natural angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, which can prevent hypertension.

Powerful antioxidant function

Bacillus natto will produce special antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase and other substances that can scavenge free radicals in the body, thus achieving the antioxidant effect. The antioxidant effect of isoflavones in soybean is widely known, which can prevent or slow down female climacteric syndrome.
