Natto is a fermented food made from vegetable matter, and it is also a powerful tool for intestinal activity because the bacteria can reach the intestines while still alive. There are other Japanese fermented foods such as miso, soy sauce, and nukazuke (pickles), but natto is probably the easiest fermented food to eat.”

Miso and soy sauce are also traditional Japanese fermented foods, but because they are seasonings, it is difficult to take a lot of them at once. Natto, on the other hand, provides many kinds of nutrients in a single pack (PHOTO: AFRO).

The standard amount to eat per day is 1 to 1.5 packs. There is no problem if you eat more than that, but it is also important to avoid having your diet solely consist of natto.

It is said that 2,000 FU of Nattokinase is needed per day to dissolve blood clots and make the blood thinner. A pack of natto (about 50 g) is said to contain an average of 1,500 FU of Nattokinase, so eat 1 to 1.5 packs daily as a guide.

However, for those with high cholesterol levels or those who have already been diagnosed with arteriosclerosis, their blood will remain sluggish unless they improve their diet, no matter how many packets of natto they eat. It is also important to avoid diets high in animal fat and unbalanced diets.”

Young blood vessels that allow blood to flow smoothly are important for building a healthy body that is free from disease. In order to maintain the age of your blood vessels, why don’t you start eating one pack of natto a day at night?
