While it is good to diversify your food source to enhance diversity in your gut microbiota, there are certain types of fiber or bacteria that can help organize your gut microbiota.
I just saw an advertisement for Australia on Facebook and it was introducing some popular Australian dishes with colorful pictures. One of the dishes was avocado toast. As soon as I saw the photo, which was very eye-catching, I pictured myself sitting at a cafe in Australia and having it. Then, out of the blue, I felt it would go very well with natto.
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.
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.
Recently, I have been making natto with steamed vegetables. This is pretty much the same with stir-fried minced veg natto.
Natto is another food supposed to be good for autophagy, according to Dr. Tamotsu Yoshimori, the author of Life Science Nagaikisezaruwoenaijidai no Seimeikagakukogi. He was a co-researcher of Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi, the 2016 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine.
I tried making fermented brown rice with long-grain rice but it didn’t work.
One of the readers asked me whether we could make fermented brown rice with long grain rice. I think we can but I have never made one, so I don’t know for sure.
I had a question from one of the readers that how I get the bacteria to start the fermentation when I make fermented brown rice. So, I would like to share the answer with you, too, since you might have the same question.
