The Japanese have long known about miso’s remarkable health benefits. Recent research has found that the benefits of miso come not only from the nutrients in the soybeans, but also from other ingredients that arise from the action of aspergillum and other milds used in the fermentation and aging processes.

Here are some health benefits of Miso :

  • Miso soup helps prevent gastric disorders. Studies indicate that those who regularly have miso soup are less susceptible to gastric cancer and suffer less from stomach disorders such as gastritis, gastric ulcers or duodenal ulcers. Miso is rich in digestive enzymes and provides protective action for the stomach lining.
  • Miso helps prevent cancer – Studies have also shown that a daily intake of miso soup also helps to prevent breast cancer. Lab tests have also shown that miso helps to prevent colon cancer in lab rats and liver cancer in lab mice.
  • Miso prevents high blood pressure and strokes – Miso is rich in magnesium and potassium, which can serve as an effective counter against excessive sodium intake.
  • Daily intake of miso may also help to slow down the aging process – Free radicals, or alive oxygen, are known to cause aging. It is believed that miso’s antioxidant properties play a significant role in helping Japanese people enjoy the longest lifespan in the world.
  • Miso reduces toxins – Miso’s dietary fibre cleanses the intestines while the microbes found in miso purge harmful bacteria and toxins from the intestines.
  • Miso improves brain metabolism rate – Miso is rich in ingredients that work to counter high blood pressure and strokes, as well as improve the brain metabolism rate and reduce body toxins.

    1. Miso is a fermented food, meaning it contains live, active cultures of bacteria—you know, like the good stuff that’s also found in yogurt. Adding it to boiling water will kill the probiotics in the miso, nixing the health benefits it typically offers, like better digestive health.
