Asia is home to the largest concentration of the world's longest-living people. Their remarkable ability to live past 100 years is linked to daily work and consistently adhered diets. Among their habits, meditation, health, exercise, and proper nutrition based on ancestral diets stand out. Regarding the latter, breakfast is a fundamental part of achieving the coveted "eternal life." The traditional Japanese breakfast consists of "teishoku." Teishoku is the Japanese word for a pre-selected set of food served in many Japanese restaurants, typically including a main dish, rice, a side dish, and soup.

Unlike our breakfasts, in Japan there are almost always four courses. These include rice, miso soup, grilled fish, and green tea. This combination of carbohydrates, vegetables, and fermented foods is what makes the meal balanced and nutritious.

A global figure known for promoting "eternal life" is Mika Takishima. She is the oldest coach in the world at 90 years old. This influential woman has stated that her breakfast consists of grilled mackerel or salmon, natto (fermented soybeans), eggs, tofu, kimchi (fermented cabbage), and nukazuke (pickled rice bran).

In an attempt to discover the keys to a long and healthy life and pursue the dream of eternal life, a group of researchers from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Protein Research Center at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) have discovered that the combination of gut bacteria and bacterial viruses in these individuals could influence disease prevention. In the Asian country, it is very common to live past 80, and there are villages like Ogimi where centenarians live with enviable vitality, according to the Spanish TV program "Saber Vivir."

The health program explains that they follow a healthy and balanced diet low in ultra-processed foods, but there is one fermented food that could be the key to Japanese vitality and longevity: natto. It is a traditional Japanese food made from soybeans. Soaked in water, they are boiled or steamed. Then, they are mixed with a bacterium called Bacillus subtilis var. and left to ferment, the health outlet details. In numbers, 60% of Japanese people love natto.

Don't forget that if you've seem interviews with Japanese "octo's", as I refer to them, they also "exercise" meaning working in their gardens for 4-6 his a day, yes, at 90.

Fermented foods are consumed in several European countries, and the popularity of specific fermented foods can vary from region to region. However, some European countries have a long history of consuming fermented foods as part of their traditional diets. Below are some European countries where fermented foods are commonly enjoyed:

1. Germany: Germany is known for its sauerkraut, which is fermented cabbage, as well as various types of sausages and fermented bread.

2. France: French cuisine includes a variety of fermented foods such as cheese, wine, and sourdough bread. French cheeses like Roquefort and Brie are famous for their unique fermentation processes.

3. Russia: Fermented foods are an integral part of Russian cuisine. Examples include sauerkraut (kapusta kiszona), kefir, kvass (a fermented beverage), and fermented cucumbers. 4. Eastern Europe: Eastern European countries, including Poland, Hungary, and Ukraine, have a tradition of consuming fermented foods such as pickled vegetables, kefir, and various types of fermented dairy products.

5. Scandinavia: Fermented fish, known as surströmming in Sweden, and various forms of fermented dairy products such as Icelandic skyr and Norwegian brunost are popular in Scandinavia.

6. Balkan Peninsula: Fermented foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut, and pickled peppers are commonly enjoyed in the countries of the Balkan Peninsula, including Greece, Bulgaria, and Serbia.

7. Italy: Italy is known for its aged and fermented cheeses such as Parmesan and Pecorino, as well as its fermented sausages such as salami.

The first introduction to fermented foods beyond sauerkraut was when yogurt first hit the shelves. At the time, a hosts of digestive problems evaporated, pffft gone. Good bye Tums, good bye Maalox and good redince. Unfortunately Big Process Foods got hold of them and "they had to add lots of sugar and basically jam for the American Palette." As never being a big fan of sweets or sugar the sourness of the original yogurts were not a turn off.

Years later when Kim Chi hit our shelves in this area when adding this to the menu, more welcomed improvements.

Having been brought up on homemade sauerkraut the store bought always fell flat. Not much question the old folk's homemade was a living product providing health. Store bought...pasteurized, sterile for microbes and life. Of course pasteurized is a big selling point for a public indoctrinated to be germ-a-phobic.

Today's article may have further, greater implications then realized when considering the following; This household food breaks down glyphosate, not clickbait https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v9ewzWJHFA

While the elimination for the use of glyphosate and other chem's are still job one, this shows how glyphosate can creep into even Organic Products. (Not mentioned but includes even rain these days.) In this case Chicken Manure was used in an Organic Farm production for cabbage and glyphosate creeped into the manure through the chicken feed used for the chickens. What happened is rows of beautiful in appearance cabbage when put into the fermentation vats to make sauerkraut turned to mush instead. Research found the glyphosate locked out the pathway allowing the plants to absorb minerals. Further research found that if Sauerkraut juice was added to the cow, chicken feed the main bacteria to create the sauerkraut 'ate - broke down' the glyphosate. Further investigation found same juice sprayed on fields did the same.

If this occurs in the soils more than likely the same applies to our own gut. Other research has found Kim Chi can break down plastics in our guts.

So three cheers for fermented foods, three cheers for an off ramp to move into Biodynamic Regenerative, Organic Food Production!
