In Japan, a popular saying goes, “No need for a doctor when you have miso.” Miso holds a special place in the hearts of the Japanese. According to the latest statistics released by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare in Japan, the population of centenarians in Japan exceeded 90,000 in 2022, with an increase of 4,016 individuals reaching age 100 or older compared to the previous year.
Is miso truly beneficial for the body? According to Dr. Shu Rong, a senior traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner from the UK, the secret to the health benefits of miso lies in its kidney-protecting properties. However, it is crucial to follow proper consumption methods, as incorrect practices can harm health.
