Many people in Japan eat natto on a daily basis. However, unless you live there, there is a decent chance you’ve never heard of it.
Natto is fermented soybeans characterized as being sticky, slimy, and pungent. Not exactly delicious sounding, right?
While some people claim to love the taste of natto, the main reason people eat it every day is that natto is believed to have significant health benefits.
Natto is full of essential vitamins, including zinc, iron, potassium, and magnesium. In addition, natto has a unique enzyme called nattokinase, which is naturally produced when natto is fermenting. This is what many believe may have cardiovascular benefits and what makes natto so unique. You won’t find nattokinase in any other fermented or soy-based foods.
Cardiovascular Benefits of Nattokinase
The potential cardiovascular benefits of nattokinase include increasing longevity, lowering blood pressure, and reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Thanks to its natural blood-thinning abilities, it could also protect against conditions caused by blood clots, such as heart attacks and strokes.
Fortunately, you don’t need to eat natto to reap these cardiovascular benefits. You can find nattokinase in supplement form to get your daily dose of heart health, with no fermentation required.
If you want to protect your heart, nattokinase may be a good option. It’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider if you have a cardiovascular condition, blood clot disorder, or are taking blood thinners to ensure that nattokinase will not cause any potential side effects.
