Undaria miso soup is also a very popular food in Japan, especially the elderly in Japan, who drink it almost every day.
It turns out that Undaria pinnatifida is rich in plant fiber, and 5 grams of Undaria pinnatifida contains 2 grams of plant fiber, which is divided into water-soluble plant fiber and insoluble plant fiber.
Water-soluble plant fiber is rich in polysaccharide component alginic acid, which can be combined with salt in other foods to promote salt excretion and unconsciously reduce the absorption of salt by human body.
As we all know, with the increase of age, the taste buds of the elderly will gradually become dull, and they will unconsciously consume excessive salt. If you can drink a bowl of Undaria miso soup every day, it will not only reduce the absorption of salt, but also lower blood pressure and promote health. This is killing two birds with one stone.
In addition, the insoluble plant fiber in Undaria pinnatifida is insoluble in water and will not be easily digested and absorbed. It can increase the amount of feces, soften the feces in the human intestine, stimulate the intestinal wall and promote intestinal peristalsis, thus reducing the time of feces staying in the body and indirectly reducing the incidence of colorectal cancer.
