Experiments conducted by Nagano Institute of Public Health Pollution showed that natto extract could reduce 30,000 pathogenic Escherichia coli from 0- 157 to less than 40. Recent scientific experiments have also confirmed that Bacillus natto has the same inhibitory effect on 0- 157 similar pathogenic Escherichia coli 0- 1 1, 0- 144 and other pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella and Listeria. The antibacterial mechanism is that Bacillus natto can produce the bactericidal substance pyridine dicarboxylic acid.
Regulate the stomach, moisten the intestines, relieve constipation, detoxify and nourish the skin.
Bacillus natto was not affected by the strong acid in gastric juice and quickly colonized in the intestine. Pyridine dicarboxylic acid produced by Bacillus natto can effectively kill and inhibit harmful bacteria and viruses in the intestine. Make the intestinal flora achieve a healthy dynamic balance, quickly solve the problems of constipation, enteritis, diarrhea and so on, and give you a healthy intestine. Therefore, the laxative effect of Bacillus natto is immediate. We all know that 50% to 80% of feces are intestinal bacteria and his body. When intestinal bacteria are active, the stool will be unobstructed. This is the reason for defecation. Stool once a day can clear the stool and eliminate toxins. In addition, nattokinase can dissolve thrombus and fat in capillaries, thus ensuring rosy complexion.
Significantly improve female climacteric syndrome
Soybean isoflavone is one of the main phytoestrogens, which has a weak estrogen-like effect. 30 mg isoflavone in natto is equivalent to 100 mg isoflavone in soybean. The menopausal symptoms and postmenopausal osteoporosis in women are mainly caused by the decrease of estrogen level in the body. Daidzein can supplement the deficiency of estrogen in the body, not only can obviously improve menopausal symptoms, but also can prevent and treat female osteoporosis. Considering the detoxification, beauty and weight loss of natto, natto is a very important health food for women.
Slow weight loss can directly reduce postprandial blood sugar.
Bacillus natto can persist in the intestine for about 1 week, which can promote the proliferation of other beneficial bacteria. Intestinal bacteria weigh about 1 kg. Of course, it needs bait. The nutrients absorbed by the human body become bait for intestinal bacteria and are swallowed up. In addition, nattokinase can burn fat, so it can lose weight. There is also a sticky substance of natto, which plays the role of leaching and wrapping. Therefore, natto is slow and effective in losing weight and will not rebound. However, it is intuitive that the postprandial blood sugar value shows an obvious downward trend. One is that Bacillus natto devours glucose and mucus, and the other is that elastase (or trypsin E) in natto inhibits the increase of blood sugar. It acts on this enzyme contained in pig pancreas, and elastase from pig pancreas has been used as a therapeutic drug for hyperglycemia.
Antihangover and liver protection
After nattokinase enters the human body, it constructs an alcohol protection barrier through three channels: it enters the human liver system, decomposes the pressure on the liver to relieve alcoholism and helps to relieve alcoholism; Enter the human vascular system, form a key protective barrier in the cerebral vascular area, and resist the inhibitory effect of alcohol on the brain; Enter the human digestive system, quickly form a protective barrier, accelerate acid secretion in the digestive tract, and promote hangover. Taking natto can quickly solve the adverse reactions after drinking and prevent drunkenness the next day. In addition, various active substances in natto activate hepatocytes, promote hepatocyte regeneration, improve liver function, protect liver, and effectively prevent and improve fatty liver. Therefore, there is a popular Japanese proverb: "Eat more natto when drinking to prevent getting drunk for two days."
Prevention of hypertension
For mice with hereditary hypertension, the blood pressure of the control group (soybean) gradually increased to 33.3Pa(250mmHg), while the blood pressure of mice with natto remained normal, which was 65438 08.7 kPa (65438 040 mmHg). This is because natto food contains angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which will prevent angiotensin from becoming active.
Prevention of floaters
Bacillus natto food has a very good health care effect on eyes. It can not only purify blood, dissolve thrombus blocked in eyeball microvasculature, but also reduce the accumulation of cholesterol on blood vessel wall. In addition, it is also beneficial to prevent cataracts.
Lowering cholesterol and preventing atherosclerosis
Animal experiments have proved that natto food can inhibit the oxidation of LDL in blood, effectively reduce the concentration of total cholesterol and triglyceride, and then reduce the occurrence of atherosclerotic diseases. It is speculated that natto food has these effects because of its high content of antioxidant components.
