HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2024
- Kyotango region is in the spotlight as a longevity hotspot in Japan. There are three times as many centenarians there as the national average. Kyotango Longevity Cohort Research has been conducted by Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine and the researchers discovered that the centenarians in Kyotango have a high amount of what they call longevity bacteria in their gut.

Sachiaki Takamiya is a writer and the creator of Ikigai Diet and Ikigai Bio-Hacking. He has authored a range of books, with one of his better-known works being the spiritual adventure novel, Ten-jo-no-Symphony, published in Japanese by Kodansha in 2006. His contributions in English include The Ikigai Diet, and Ikigai Bio-Hacking.
He embraces a sustainable lifestyle in a serene town in Shiga Prefecture, growing his own vegetables and crafting fermented foods. In 2018, he innovatively translated this lifestyle into a diet, thus birthing the Ikigai Diet. In 2022, he further enriched this diet, transforming it into a holistic health approach called Ikigai Bio-Hacking.
Homemade natto has been a staple of his diet for nearly a decade, holding a central role in the Ikigai Diet. Embracing this passion for natto, he donned the moniker ‘Natto King’ in 2022 and began disseminating natto-related insights via his RUclips channel, the Ikigai Diet.
His health-focused lifestyle has certainly paid dividends. Despite being in his early 60s, he consistently receives clean bills of health.

Aloha, I'm fourth generation Japanese living in Hawaii. I was sumotori size for all of my life until the world shutdown in 2020, with lots of medical issues at the age of 54 at 184.159 kg or 406 lbs living a very non-active life. During shutdown, I started eating traditional Japanese, Okinawan and Hawaiian foods from 400 years ago and my body changed. I focused on oysters, natto, kunbo, fish, ikura, pork, kimchee, sesame seed oil, coconut oil, macadamia nuts and lots of Hawaiian salt and my weight dropped, medical issues are gone, all of this change without western medical intervention. I have done three Honolulu Marathons, my loose skin is almost gone along with my white hair. I share my knowledge with my remaining third generation family saying Japan food technology from the past was far more advanced that any culture on the planet back then. I wish my family never left our food culture as I have learned that I'm not good with other people's foods as my body was inflamed since childhood and our family members died from cancer and diabetes complication. I now wear the same size pants as I wore when I was 8 years old with muscles everywhere!!! Mahalo 'e for your great informational channel as I hope it reaches Japan's descendants all around the world to heal them and show them way back to heath.
if you remove meat and added salt and stuff you would gain even more benefits
@@smonster Thank you, I tried that and without mass amount of salt I get headaches no energy and very nauseous. Also, without the meat, I tried that for a while and my muscle shrank. The number one thing that I need to do in my old age is maintaining muscle mass. People who lose their muscles end up falling and have to do hip replacement or neck injuries. In the US 50% of the people who end up with this type of energy die within a year or so after.
Japanese food of the past is not the best in the world! It is the best for people of your genetics. Every country has its own cultural diet rooted in the past. It is to that that every population must look to stay healthy. We too have many centenarians, but if I ate like you I would get sick, because my people traditionally eat differently from yours.
@@masterep3576That just means you are not getting enough protein for your body weight. You need 1gram of protein per 1kg of body weight…. so if you weigh 54kg you need 54grams of protein a day.
if you don’t eat meat you have to replace it with something else like beans or lentils.
most people who get hip fractures at old age when they fell is due to low bone density if they are at a lower weight. one way to prevent this is by jumping 50 times on each leg or exercising with a weighted fast to increase bone density, that’s why most overweight people barely have any bone fractures.
most people on the US are on a bad diet, like 90+ percent of them. They eat processed junk and lots of animal derived foods. I don’t think you should compare to them if your diet is already mostly whole foods and plant based.
if you feel like you don’t get enough salt than there might be other things wrong; not a balanced diet or not enough iodine; iodine is added to table salt since many people take that, but it is not a good source of getting it. you can take two nori sheets a day for iodine.
nutritional yeast also helps to get adequate sodium since it is well balanced with potassium; most people in the US are deficient of potassium.
@@chiara---that’s not true, genetics doesn’t have anything to do with it and it already has been proven by scientists. Most people eat candy and processed food, which genetics don’t like; including processed and unprocessed meat and dairy
The bacteria 🧫 are butyrate-producing bacteria: bifidobacteria & lactic acid bacteria, specifically from fermented soybeans or Natto. The enzyme is called Nattokinase
Thanks for that information.
nooo lol I knew it! I was hoping it wasn't natto. I can't stomach it
@@AlejandraXio You have several alternatives Nattokinase, serrapeptase, & Lumbrokinase you might want to try any or all of these along with digestive enzymes, or tudca to avoid the ox bile as it may interfere with our bile function, and acidophilous. I hope that this helps.
@@AlejandraXio Eating any fiber (which isn't present in meat, fish or dairy) will allow your stomach microbiome to produce butyrates. Just eat plants.
Sell that bacteria

This comment literally has nothing to do with the content of this video. It’s a bot
Welcome!
I lived in Kyoto in 2002 and 2003. I've never been happier in my life. Thank you Japan, the greatest and best experience. Love from South Africa
Wonderful. Did you ever make it to the Kyotango area?
There was a Navajo woman in Arizona who lived to 126. I remember her making the local newspapers back in the early 2000's.
My research about 10 years ago was on Bifidobacteria adolescentis being the main type of bifido found in centenarians.
The same virus that spoils babies' bifida?
misnomer then…
Sachiaki-san, please _don't_ ever stop saying "Yeah"! It is charming. I love it.
It’s annoying and he needs to work on it .. 🤔🤷♂️🤷♂️
Oh yah?
The less you eat and the more you keep your stomach empty , the more the longevity increases. I am sure the soil of the place also matters.
Thanks for this presentation. You have a signature style of delivery. Do not change it!
You are welcome. Thank you for such a lovely comment. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you so much for sharing. This is new to me. Love it. Thank you.
Fantastic! We very much appreciate you bringing us this much needed health information about how to heal our Micro Biome! Great Channel. San Fransisco area. 💛💜
Just this am, I was discussing Gut health and longevity with family members and then, your informative vid. "popped" up. Excellent information. Thank you.
Google is always listening…
Thanks for sharing. Wonderful information 😊😊😊
I live in another blue zone in Italy and many people here tend their own gardens and eat produce that thty grow themselves well into their 80's and 90's. They are out there all summer every day in the heat doing agricultural work, its incredible. These nonni know how to do evetything from scratch. They make and can their own sauce, they make their own olive oil from their own olives, they make their own wine, bread, pasta, liquors, with real yeast. They also do eat lots of small whole fish like sardines and anchiovies. There is definitely a corelation. Italy has the second oldest population on the planet after Japan.
Awesome channel. Glad I discovered it
Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for sharing the info.
You are welcome.
thankyou for that most informative vid on (active and meaningful ) longevity
Excellent information, thank you!
I’m sure I’m not the only one who noticed that community and friends were a major factor. Isolated people are less healthy and happy and that clearly affects longevity. The rest of Japan tends to have long life retirees but Japan also has the most bedridden people in the 1st world. 🥲
Yes and I’m sure the good climate helps as well
I have noticed that even pretty healthy and strong old people pass away when their relatives are tied of having an old relative. That mood flies this or that way in the atmosphere. When people want somebody to go, he goes no matter what. Surely, when friends died one after another and a person of 90 stays almost along, he/she starts bagging for death to come. I noticed that in Russia old people are even refused from treatment in hospitals. Of there is a ln injury happened, they literally left at home to deal with that and probably die, people in emergency alsways say: we do not have orders to rescue and recover people after 80s, like if that measure are useless. At the same time, Vietnam treats old people with the priority,, no matter how old they are, however people after 80s are in s pecial order and fully respected as the national pride. I saw absolutely old man who was brought with some stomach aches. Docs didn't let him just go with laxatives or so, they put him for two days in and sourced with all needed. Then the old lady was brought and whole team tried to research her heart. She was right away directed to the surgery room. Nobody abundant her, nobody let her go home and die.
Puf me in a community and will become the most unhappy person ever
Love your video!
Thank you😊 because of your videos i am considering your books and keep them with me!
Thank you very much. That will be wonderful.
Thank you for sharing this information. 🙏 I've subbed to get updates and now I am going to watch your video about making natto with sunflower seeds. I'm making natto with soybeans for the first time tonight. I've known about natto for a decade and the Ikigai lifestyle for years. It's the way I like to live too. Just simple, self-sufficient and satisfied with the small blessings that life brings. Thanks again!
Thank you for subscribing. Good luck with your natto-making.
Thank you for sharing these tips! Intriguing about the butyrate producing bacteria
I do the Japanese morning exercises most days, and enjoy seaweed, sardines, green tea (growing my own tea camellia), Miso, beans ....
P.S. If you want to do a Canadian and Scottish confirmation comment, rather that say, "Yah", say "Ey" or a hard "A". It's interesting how bacteria can turn fibres into amino acids, buyterate and anti-allergy short-changed fatty acids. Sadly modern societies are losing these gut bacteria. Thanks. 🇨🇦
Humans cannot digest fiber at all. We have no cecum or hind gut with the bacteria to ferment and break down fiber. All it does is tear your digestive systems lining and cause leaky gut. The blue zone in Japan consumes the most pork of any other community on the planet, but nobody pushing a vegetarian agenda will ever mention this. Blue Zone mythology is currently being pushed by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, that believes eating meat will damn your immortal soul.
Very interesting. Thank You
You are welcome.
I've read about the health benefits of eating natto. I live in Seattle and found that natto either is hard to find or that it's quite expensive. I started taking Nattokinase 2,000 FU's a day that I found on Amazon.
Thanks for the informative video.
Hm❤
DIY natto recipes....use the search
😊
People make their own Natto. But it’s good for those with sensitive tastes that they can take a supplement.
Very informative 😊😊😊
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this very informative video. I am looking forward to hearing what you have to say in the next one! Any idea how to prepare natto in a way that would be more appealing to Westerners?

Thank you I do know about how bacteria are the key to our health thank you for confirming keen to see your next video 😊 please tell us which bacteria or microbes
You can look into 'probiotic dairy products'.
They might be eating a lot of Japanese knot weed in that part of the world. Their are lots of good compounds in Japanese knotweed that could account for this longevity. ( piceatannol is one of these compounds )
Thank you for your information. They could well be.
Very interesting. Is the tiny small fish the same as shirasu?

hi I practice Japanese customs in china. I eat natty everyday, but unable to cook soy beans daily, I am aware base ferment must be soybean skin for nattokainese. now when I ferment legumes in puree form. will I still receive same nattokainese as mentioned before or solely soybean base ferment ? assumption no due to lack of protein rich skin soy beans have compared to legumes without skin. thank you for info ikadakaimas
with all the micro plastics in the sea, it might not be good idea to eat whole fish (including its stomach contents ).
Cool video of lot of views. ❤ Longevity

Natto can be a beautiful snack too. My gut lining is better now after eating natto everyday
Which trademark can I buy from Japan natto in stores? Here. I m looking for this natto. But they add sugar, monosodic glutamat and others addictive
There is a negligible amount of sugar.
You mix Natto with soy sauce and mustard, which is why those ingredients are listed.
You can either attempt to make your own or buy Nattokinase supplement.
What is your opinion on Milk Kefir?
Just discovered your channel. Tsugoi. My partner eats natto everyday. I take natto kinese supplement, I wonder if supplement is better than the smell and stickiness of natto?
Liked and Subscribed (ALL)
I subscribed from Montréal Canada Filipino Canadian.
Thank you for subscribing.
Would you get the same beneficial bacteria from the freeze dried version of natto?
Good question. I suggest try to make a fermentation from some freeze dried Natosha. If it ferments the new beans into more Natto, then it should be good and active.
I'd guess sun dried?
Does canned USA souercrout have this bacteria ?
Interesting video. Do most of these people drink tea? Matcha?
Thank you. They probably do as most Japanese people drink green tea such as Matcha and Kyoto is one of the most well-known tea growing areas in Japan.
How to get this bacteria
the question then arises if it is the Bacteria causing Longevity or the butyrate they are producing, I would argue it is the latter as Butyrate has too many health benefits to list (just search pubmed), and is suspected as the underlying chemical responsible for the health benefits of a high fiber diet, you can also take sodium butyrate in pill form, I use it as a sleep aid instead of melatonin as there is no dependency risk.
Thank you for commenting. Yes, butyrate is doing all the work after all. And butyrate-producing bacteria are producing it. Therefore, both are important, and so are bifidobacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and natto bacteria which all support the production of butyrate. More details are in today's video.

Can you tell me the name of the small fish ? Jako is it the same as inoshi? Thank you!
Sorry I meant Niboshi
@@andrewhua2697
Both Jako and Niboshi are sardines, but jako is smaller(4-5cm) than niboshi(7-10cm).
We usually eat jako with rice and we use niboshi as soup stock.😊
It is Jako. It is also called Chirimen Jako. They are baby sardines. I have never heard of Inoshi.
In the US, I love sardines, and usually have several tins of wild caught/ water processed sardines on hand. Small fish are lower on the food chain.
Oh wow Nihinjinron in the flesh and blood !! Can’t wait to listen. Also part of the very long intestines?
Do butyrate producing bacteria available in supplement form?
Bacillus subtilis in spore biotic form or in natto and Korean red kimchi

@@theikigaidiet3790 thank you.
I'm curious to know if the human body, over generations, adapts to the regional foods available. Most of the articles I have read report that the healthiest populations eat regionally grown or harvested foods.
I think so. We have a term Shindofuji, which means our body and soil are as one, and it recommends that we eat locally and seasonally. Locally grown foods are grown with the help of the soil microbiome of the region, which I think is suitable for your gut microbiome.
@@theikigaidiet3790that makes so much sense!
That's probably true. However it doesn't help people in modern circumstances, because there is no longer any such thing as a local microbiome. The soil too needs to be regenerated. Luckily we are our own microbe factories: we just need to start feeding our microbes the proper high fiber whole plant foods. With some fermented vegetables to help stimulate new species. However, if you can, do grow some of your own organic vegetables and fruit. It doesn't get more local than that.
Notes from the Okinawan study. You will have to look hard to find any pork other than a special occasion.
Back in the 1950's the Japanese rural Okinawan group of people had
the most centenarians per capita. How did they live so long? Here is
their diet

Some points
Their diet was 85% carb, and 6% fat. Sweet potatoes (a Japanese sweet potato) made up almost 70% of their calories. Nuts were less than 1% of calories (the equivalent of 1/10 of an ounce a day) Oil was less than 2% of calories (which is about 1 tsp a day) and sugars were less than 1% of calories (less than a tsp a day)
The total animal products including fish was less than 4% of calories which is less then 70 calories a day. That is the equivalent of around 2 oz of animal products or less a day.
This is a population group worth idolizing.
Thank you. But 23g of fiber doesn't make sense with 85% carbohydrate. As a vegan I eat more fat and protein and less carbohydrate than that diet, and still get over 50 grams fiber in my diet.
@@carinaekstrom1 Do you mean 50% fiber or 50 grams of fiber?
@@deborahd.7281 Sorry, 50 grams of fiber. Will edit, thanks for noticing.
no pickle and low seaweed? doesn't sound right and doesn't jive with what he is saying.
Thank you for your information. Yes, I thought pork was only eaten on festive occasions, especially in rural villages like Ogimi Village.
Can I have a link to the study?
I have watched some videos on Kyotango Longevity Cohort Research, but they are all in Japanese. I now found this video in English. Characteristics of Physiological Function and Biological Data of Kyotango Longevity Area in Japan

This small fish called iriko? Anchova? Tk you arigatou gozaimatsu from Brazil
I'm not surprised that so many great health science and food science come from Japan. But I guess--as you said--there is so much that doesn't come known globally due to the language barrier.
Yes, that is the case. I don't know why but it seems a lot harder for Japanese to be fluent in English compared to many other non-native speakers around the world.
Is Natto the only fermented food they eat or are there other fermented products we maybe don't know in the Western World? Is the consumption of green tea also a part of this study? It has a positive influence on the gut bacteria.
Japanese also eat a lot of Miso (fermented soybean paste). Nothing more comforting than a hot bowl of Miso with tofu, green onion & nori. 😊
We also eat many pickled foods.
Do you know how many times you say "Yah" ?!
It would be very appreciated if there are English subtitles especially when you mention Japanese words. Sometimes, one is left guessing whether it was a mispronounced English word.
and will never be heard of again.
You can also get butyrate from butter. In fact 'butyrate' is named after 'butter'.
Really? I didn't know that. You can get some from rice bran-based pickles in Japan, so I think brown rice is the key.
I used to think seafood was best. But I don't like the new studies showing how microplastics accumulate in the body, especially in arterial plaques. Seafood is one of the main sources of plastic in our diets. This sounds crazy but its true. Also, there was an observational study in the UK on Omega 3, that showed it increased heart attack and stroke rates.
The problem with Omega 3's is that they quickly go rancid, unlike more saturated fats.
Unless the Omega 3's you consumed were kept refrigerated, light free and sealed in a oxygen free environment, it's almost guaranteed if you are taking Omega 3 suppplements that are rancid.
That study was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation. It's bogus. See the report just out by Dr Osborne.
bc1qysq4l92akx9jhpp8fkqtqw0p5gwj7mvvmnm62f
Akkermansia is becoming popular over here now. Is this the one?
Natto certainly is an acquired taste, thus I put it in my morning green drinks.
All I hear in the US is people over 65 need to eat much more protein. Experts say it's because seniors don't process it very well, so eat more....lol So annoying to hear that so many are wrong.
I wish we could buy natto in our grocery stores. A person could get rich supplying Wlamart and Kroger stores.
Does eating protein automatically give you muscles? No, you must train your body through exercise.
Yes, the discussion regarding protein intake is so confusing, isn't it, as it is so divided. As for the protein intake for seniors, I think we need to take a lot of factors into consideration; exercise, bone health, heart health, and gut health. The purpose is not to be bulky but to prevent falling, and meantime, we need to prevent other illnesses. In fact, I am covering all this in my new book that I am writing. More and more stores seem to carry natto these days. Or you can make one yourself. How to Make Natto from a Wild Plant: Instant Pot Version
ruclips.net/video/mIKdG-0d_t0/видео.html
Miche, PhD RUclips channel: see the episode where she breaks down why those who say more protein is needed as we get older are wrong. She lays out the research. It is resistance and strength training that we need more of as we get older, not protein.
You did't say what is the bacteria they have found.
Starting at 12:20, butyrate producing bacteria in natto.
@@jimli7122 That is not the name of the bacteria. A research with google gave me: "Butyric acid-producing bacteria are Clostridium butyricum and Clostridium pasteurianum." and "Ruminococcus, Clostridium, Eubacterium, and Coprococcus". Are they all longevity bacteria or is there a specific one?
Regarding "consuming meat" which you mentioned brought up as a factor in studies, it appears you do not consider "fish" as meat, perhaps you only regard "red meat" such as pork, beef or mutton as meat? But from what I observed from discussions & publications of such "studies", white meat such as fish, chicken & eggs are all regarded as meat/protein which the most recent & updated longevity & healthy dietary studies & guidelines promote & classify as good & healthy source of meat. While consuming red meat especially processed ones such as sausages has been found in multiple studies to lead to detrimental health effects(eg.increase risk in breast cancer, heart diseases etc.)
Thank you for your comment. Sorry for the confusion. When I say meat, I usually mean beef, pork mutton, and chicken, and don't include fish or eggs. In Japan, these distinctions are not as clear since there aren't many vegetarians and vegans, meaning people who consciously avoid animal products. Even Dr. Yuji Naito, one of the researchers of Kyotango Longevity Cohort Study, called the Japanese diet a plant-based diet, even if it includes seafood. But he said people in Kyotango ate very little beef and pork and he thinks the absence of these red meat may have contributed the gut microbiota of these people.
@@theikigaidiet3790 Perhaps avoiding beef and pork would result in less parasites. Just a thought!
Who says we need to eat large amounts of meat? Okinawa's staple diet is pork. There is pork in almost everything there. Before WW2, pork was a main staple but during WW2, there was a shortage but after pig population was replenished, high pork consumption resumed. The point is protein, not just meat. Yes, fermented foods are the key. Nattou is at the top of the list.
They do NOT eat much meat and some might not at all. They also don't have much muscle loss.
In Okinawa, in the past, they only really ate pig at celebrations that`s what the studies showed that were done at the time and, as you say, this aligns with traditional Japanese practises in prior times. American influencers are distorting traditional Japanese wisdom because they need to defend their meat-eating ideolog; very deeply ingrained. Actually, they ate very few animal products, including fish, according to the studies at the time.
Yeah?
so what is this bacteria/????
Bacillus subtilis
From natto
@@tomunderwood4283 also found in spicy red Korean kimchi, and the Humm brand of kombucha
Yes I knew about this bacteria from natto that is linked to longevity. I also know that natto smells and tastes like the bottom of a rotting garbage can.
Life longer, what for?
so the point is eating natto?
I'm surprised they didn't asess the power of the human brain.
The human brain is akin to a quantum computer or better, capable of many things quantum. Eg. the Laws of Vibration, and Quantum entanglement, which is akin to a psychic event, when the subatomic particles of life forms connect with other subatomic particles of other objects and life forms over distance.
keep in mind, certain fats and plants, are very anti-androgenic, and an androgen deficiency can cause a lot of illness and disease.
If these people live in the blue zone, then a comparison study should be done on others in their respective blue zone areas …
Doesn't the consumption of fish increases systemic inflammation - as the evidence shows?
The daily exercises prevented sarcopenia. Fish is animal meat
If I am not mistaken, they talk about that bacteria "Nattokinase".
The bacteria that makes Nattokinase is bacillus subtilis.
Used to ferment natto, and Korean red kimchi.
Bacillus subtilis is the bacteria that transforms corn syrup into Allulose.
Bacillus subtilis was discovered in 1834 and makes 66 different antibiotics in the human body.
That isn't a bacteria
Bacillus subtilis is the name of the probiotic
Our “hunter and gatherer” ancestors ate lots of meat. They probably weren’t so much hunters as they were trappers. Humans are highly intelligent and we likely built traps to catch prey. Food grew everywhere before the governments and corporations changed all that. We had an apple and pear tree in my backyard in the 80s and I was told I couldn’t eat the fruit because the trees weren’t sprayed and properly cared for. I really thought it would make me sick. They brainwashed us
I am over 65 young men with no health problems now in Russia. 1. Very few sea food. 2. Average phisical activjty. 3. No real social contacts.
I deny sea food because of high mercury content in sea fish.
Is 65yrs considered "long lived" for men in Russia? Maybe you should only come bragged about your longevity to these Japanese people in 35 yrs time after you lived above a hundred years old? I don't have data for mercury level of fishes caught in the Black Sea, but if you are concerned about heavy metals, its usually bigger animals/fishes, the predators at the top of the foodchain(eg. Sharks, huge fishes such as bluefin tuna) that end-up accumulating more mercury in their bodies. Consuming smaller & less carnivorus fishes from the sea pose no such mercury hazard, the huge number of lucid & quick-witted Japanese centenarians who have been consuming seafood all their lives can attest to the safety of consuming seafood.
Mercury depends on type of fish. Long living predator fish on top of the food chain get more mercury from fish and have a long time to collect it. Smaller fish contain less, sardines just very little amounts.

Fish contains mercury anyway. I try not to eat any seafood.
It’s ok man. Fish and rice isn’t for me either. Let them eat all of it, plus their beans. I am 68, go to the gym 5 times a week and lift heavy, bench over 300 Lbs, plus other things. We will see who dances on whose grave.

Nice! Let's see, right.
I prefere aerobics 5 times a week. Bicycle and walking.
There's a slight translation issue: the bacteria isn't unique to Japanese. Distributed worldwide. There is a bacteria unique to Japanese which is somewhat famous, but it is only slightly involved
Good explanation here:

What the hell is the NAME of the bacteria ???
Natto kinase?
Bacillus subtilis
I became WFPB when reading about traditional Okinawa diet. One of the Blue Zones. I was wondering what natto tastes like. It looks disgusting.
It tastes worse than it looks, but supposedly you get used to it.
Ppl gon be selling premium vomit now

So long as I can eat kichi omelette then I’m 👍
Saying “ya” at the end of every statement is disturbing and causes a loss of attention to the subject. The use of “right” has the same effect. I am a native English speaker, am married to a native Japanese speaker who also finds the habit odd. Your information is otherwise appreciated. Thank you.
Good to know and with the lifestyle ethos. not like in Africa.
EVERYthing originates in the gut.
I eat natto for the health benefits at least once a week
What about the longevity bacteria? Is this clickbait???
But it's causing a different kind of problem because of the longevity here in Japan. Just to be honest.
ikigai biohacking ? :O
Soy beans and all products that come from soy are OGM and what about radiation? Every Country have its diet, Sardinian people are in bz but they do not eat natto and derived from soy.
Butyrate is contained in Ghee butter.
Very little.
Fish is meat...
