💚The Healthy Bit: Miso 💚
Miso is a traditional Japanese fermented soybean paste and offers several potential health benefits. First, it is a rich source of probiotics, the beneficial bacteria that support your gut health by improving digestion, reducing gas, and boosting your immune system. Miso also contains soy isoflavones which may help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. These isoflavones may also have anti-cancer properties, potentially reducing the risk of breast, colon, and prostate cancer. Miso is also a good source of vitamin K2 which helps maintain strong bones and prevent osteoporosis. In addition, studies suggest that miso may help regulate blood sugar levels, potentially benefiting those with diabetes. Last but not least, miso contains choline, a nutrient essential for brain health and memory.
And don’t forget the oil! Pairing healthy fats, like olive oil, with greens improves nutrient absorption.
*Please Note: It's important to consume miso in moderation as it can be high in sodium. Additionally, people with soy allergies or sensitivities should avoid miso.
