The 13th Week of 16/8 Fasting, Nordic Walk, and HIIT
Today, I did HIIT outside. Usually, I do HIIT in the house after coming back from Nordic walk, but today, I did some sprinting as HIIT.

In the last post, I shared with you seven autophagy-activating superfoods. Today, I’ll share with you an autophagy-activating superfood mashup natto dish.
I have been introducing some foods which can boost autophagy one by one, and today, I will list all of them together, adding some new ones, as well. There are more than seven, actually, but you don’t need to know too many, and seven is a lucky number, so I’ll just list seven.
May 5th is the child’s day in Japan, and we usually have Japanese sweets called Chimaki and Kashiwamochi.
According to Dr. Tamotsu Yoshimori, the author of Life Science Nagaikisezaruwoenaijidai no Seimeikagakukogi, Life Science: A Life Science Lecture for the Age When We All Have to Live Long, a protein called Rubicon suppresses autophagy.
In the last post, I shared with you that fermented foods such as natto, miso, soy sauce, and cheese, as well as mushrooms such as shiitake contain a polyamine called spermidine, which activates autophagy, according to Dr. Tamotsu Yoshimori, who was a co-researcher of Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi, the 2016 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine by discovering and elucidating the mechanism of autophagy.
So, spermidine is one of the keys. Are there any other foods that can activate autophagy?
One thing he discussed in the book which I hadn’t seen in other books on autophagy is spermidine. Spermidine is a polyamine that can activate autophagy. It is found a lot in fermented foods such as miso, soy sauce, and natto.
