Supporting Gut Health with Miso
Miso is a fermented paste made from soybeans and grains which promotes levels of beneficial bacteria, known as probiotics. Incorporating fermented foods in your diet helps promote levels of beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the gut, which improves the function of your digestive system helping our bodies to better absorb all those nutritious vitamins and minerals. A healthy gut also communicates with the brain through nerves and hormones, which helps maintain good health and overall well-being.
