'Shiitake mushrooms have long been used in traditional East Asian medicine as a tonic to promote longevity. Rich in healthy protein, a number of B vitamins, and dietary fiber, shiitake mushrooms add significant nutrient value, a chewy texture, and naturally smoky flavor to any dish that you add it to.
What follows is a pictorial plus instructions on how to create a delicious and most nourishing pot of shiitake mushroom and onion soup. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.' - Dr. Ben Kim
'That delicious bowl of Japanese miso soup might be the key to a healthy heart and circulatory system. Don't be pressured into taking an aspirin a day to prevent heart disease—it doesn't work. However, a derivative from miso soup, nattokinase, will do your heart a world of good, and will do it without risk.Nattokinase could be called a blood thinner, but that doesn't adequately define what it does. Pharmaceutical blood thinners, like aspirin and warfarin, act by preventing blood from clotting. This is why they can cause excess bleeding. They act indiscriminately to prevent the natural, and even life-saving, blood clotting process. Nattokinase doesn't prevent clots from forming in response to injury; rather, it supports the process of lysing—dissolving—them.'
