10 Foods Good for Digestion
Digestive Food #8: Miso
Miso is made up of fermented soybeans and used as a seasoning in Japanese dishes. The fermentation of the bean allows for it to become an excellent probiotic. It helps with producing healthy gut flora, which defends the body against harmful toxins. Miso improves digestion by reducing gas and bloating as well as promoting gut motility.
Miso contains antioxidant compounds as well as phytochemicals. These have cancer-fighting properties and also help in controlling blood pressure and inflammation. In one study, miso was fermented for 180 days, a longer fermentation time, and it increased the healthy cells in mice following radiation treatment, inhibiting the development of cancerous colon cells.
