Natto is rich in isoflavones that have similar functions to the female hormone estrogen. For health and beauty, some people like to eat natto every day. Professor Mariko Uehara, from the Department of Applied Biological Sciences at Tokyo Agricultural University, said: "The isoflavones of natto, which make the sugar attached to the isoflavones easily decompose through fermentation, are better than other soy products. ”
Estrogen is associated with bone metabolism and lipid metabolism, but secretion decreases with age. Professor Uehara said: "Especially after menopause, it is easy to get osteoporosis, obesity and so on. ”
In recent years, studies have shown that isoflavones turn into more active estradiol in the intestine. About 50 percent of The Japanese who can produce emptophenol are said to be able to produce it, and Professor Uehara said, "Whether it can be generated depends on the environment in the intestine." It is not that insisting on eating natto will increase the production capacity of estradiol, but the concentration of isoflavones (glycogen) of the maternal material will increase. ”
