Human body aging is an irresistible change, but understanding health care can help delay aging. In terms of Japanese people's health and longevity, the dietary habits containing "natto" play an indispensable role. Many people live a wonderful old life because of natto. Natto is a food made from fermented soybeans and has very high nutritional value.

Natto is a soy food made from soybeans fermented by Bacillus natto that grows on rice straw. It has a sticky texture and a unique smell. Natto not only contains the high nutritional value of soybeans, but the nattokinase produced after fermentation also has good health care effects, and its nutrients are also easier to absorb.

Cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment effects

I believe everyone is familiar with thrombosis. Cardiovascular disease is most afraid of blood vessel embolism. Therefore, the solubility of thrombosis depends on the promotion of thrombosis. The dissolved substance - t-PA and the substance that hinders the dissolution of thrombus - PAI-1. The blood concentration of PAI-1 may increase due to conditions such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, stress and inflammation, which in turn makes the thrombus difficult to dissolve.

However, the nattokinase in natto can decompose PAI-1 and improve the dissolution of thrombus. In addition, natto contains natural angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory ingredients, which can prevent high blood pressure.

Powerful antioxidant function

Natto bacteria produce special antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase, etc. that can scavenge free radicals in the body. substances, thereby achieving antioxidant effects. The antioxidant effect of isoflavones in soybeans is well known and can prevent or slow down menopausal syndrome in women.
