Yesterday I posted that A High One-hour After-Meal Blood Sugar Test Can Lead to Several Deadly Conditions. In it, I showed that a blood sugar of more than 154.8 mg/dL or 8.6 mmol/L is highly predictive of the development not only of future type 2 or adult-onset diabetes but also cardiovascular disease and others, including higher all-cause mortality. …
Yesterday, I had a migraine with an aura attack. Typically, it is caused by high levels of tyramine in foods. The aura in this type of migraine consists of distortions in the field of vision. In my case, I saw a shimmering light on the lateral part of my left eye. It, of course, interferes…
This article contains suggestions on making natto. Natto is traditionally made from fermented soybeans cultured with the Bacillus Subtilis bacteria. Natto is the source of nattokinase which has many health benefits. Insulin Resistance and Atherosclerosis and the Nattokinase Solution The Outstanding Vascular Effects and Dose of Nattokinase Another Study shows Nattokinase can Destroy the S1…
Can nattokinase survive the acidity of the stomach? Is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract? Can you cook natto and retain the health benefits of nattokinase? To answer that, we look at studies showing gastrointestinal absorption, optimum pH, and temperatures to retain nattokinase activity. But before that, in case you are new here, I wrote about…
The 80-20 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, says that 80% of outcomes or outputs result from 20% of all causes for any given event. The ratio does not have to be 80-20 all the time. Essentially, it says that a massive amount of results can happen from a small amount of effort. Regarding…
This article discusses the relationship between insulin resistance and atherosclerosis formation and how nattokinase improves both. In a study that I previously referred to by Ren et al., they compared nattokinase (NK) 6,000 units with simvastatin 20 mg in 72 patients. After 26 weeks, it showed that nattokinase (NK) and simvastatin could decrease total cholesterol…
This article discusses the many health benefits of Nattokinase and its effective dose based on published research. I noticed that many are reading my nattokinase articles. Nattokinase Degrades the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Another Study shows Nattokinase can Destroy the S1 Spike Protein Nattokinase is Nontoxic with a High Safety Margin The possible reason for the…
A July 2021 research showed that an extract from natto could prevent COVID-19 infection and destroy the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2.[1] This is the second study that showed that nattokinase effectively degrades the spike proteins. Natto is a Japanese food that is a favorite tradition in Japan. It is made from steamed soybeans fermented…
This article is about nattokinase, another over-the-counter substance that was shown to break down the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Nattokinase is from natto, a fermented soybean dish popular in Japan. The authors of the Degradative Effect of Nattokinase on Spike Protein of SARS-CoV-2 are from Josai University in Saitama, Japan. It is peer-reviewed…
