Fermented foods are a beauty ally? (The effects of fermented foods on the body) - Nutritionist's Column Vol.8 (Part 2)
The benefits of fermented foods for beauty
Following on from the first part, this time we will talk about fermented foods.
>>In the first part , we talked about the types of fermented foods, but this time we will talk about the effects they have on the body.
Fermented foods are made by fermenting food, and the fermentation process has many beneficial effects.
What benefits do fermented foods provide?
1. Increased umami, sweetness and flavor
The starch in food is broken down into glucose and the protein into amino acids, creating the umami and sweetness that are unique to fermented foods, giving them a deeper flavor. They also develop a unique aroma and umami that is not present in unfermented foods.
2. The nutritional value increases compared to before fermentation
The action of microorganisms during fermentation changes nutrients into a form that is easy for the body to digest and absorb. The action of enzymes produced during the fermentation process by microorganisms produces a variety of nutritional components.
3. Food can be preserved longer
Food spoils when mold and bacteria attach to and grow on the food, but microorganisms that are responsible for fermentation (fermentation bacteria) suppress the growth of substances that cause spoilage, thereby increasing the shelf life of food.
4. Balances the good bacteria in the intestines and normalizes the intestinal environment
The lactic acid bacteria contained in fermented foods promote the activity of good bacteria in the intestines and prevent the proliferation of bad bacteria. By restoring the balance in the intestines, you can expect beneficial effects not only on your beauty but also on your health, such as improving your immune system and improving constipation.
Incorporate fermented foods into your diet to improve your intestinal environment
As you can see, fermented foods have many beneficial effects on the body.
It is also recommended to actively consume fermented foods to lead to beautiful skin from the inside of the body. When waste products accumulate, the function of the internal organs decreases, which causes problems in the body and skin. By properly excreting waste products from the body, you can expect beautiful skin, so a beautiful intestinal environment = beautiful skin.
GRON contains "Rice Koji Amazake," a fermented food that is called a "drinkable IV drip" or "drinkable beauty serum," and is made from rice koji, an essential part of Japanese food culture.
For the sake of your beauty and health, why not incorporate fermented foods into your daily diet, taking in delicious nutrients and living a lifestyle that improves your intestinal environment?
