    Sachiaki Takamiya is a writer and the creator of Ikigai Diet and Ikigai Bio-Hacking. He has authored a range of books, with one of his better-known works being the spiritual adventure novel, Ten-jo-no-Symphony, published in Japanese by Kodansha in 2006. His contributions in English include The Ikigai Diet, and Ikigai Bio-Hacking.
    He embraces a sustainable lifestyle in a serene town in Shiga Prefecture, growing his own vegetables and crafting fermented foods. In 2018, he innovatively translated this lifestyle into a diet, thus birthing the Ikigai Diet. In 2022, he further enriched this diet, transforming it into a holistic health approach called Ikigai Bio-Hacking.
    Homemade natto has been a staple of his diet for nearly a decade, holding a central role in the Ikigai Diet. Embracing this passion for natto, he donned the moniker ‘Natto King’ in 2022 and began disseminating natto-related insights via his UA-cam channel, the Ikigai Diet.
    His health-focused lifestyle has certainly paid dividends. Despite being in his early 60s, he consistently receives clean bills of health.

    I think it depends on the amount eaten. My husband and I eat natto almost everyday for the past 2.5 years. The only days we don’t eat natto is during special days (holidays/birthdays/etc). We eat only 2 tbsp a day. We definitely eat a variety of other foods and also consume other fermented foods (kimchi, sauerkraut, keffir, kombucha, yogurt, miso).

      Thank you for your comment, starcraft ghost.
      Yes, the amount is critical. 2 table spoon isn't too much. They say if you eat over 100 grams(2 packs of natto) you might have problems. I try to limit to about 50 grams a day. The fact that you are also eating a lot of other foods count, too.

      I eat approximately 3 packets a day. I was thinking of eating even more than that because I thought why not eat more fiber, more K2, more probiotics daily? But in light of your warnings, I will not do this

    • @LeoJackson98

    The recommended dosage of nattokinase per day is 2000 units. 50grams of natto contains approx 1500 units nattokinase. Studies have shown that these doses are innefective for arterial disease. Study shows that a dosage of 10,500 units per day over 12 months were effective. That would be roughly 350 grams or 2 cups of natto per day.

      Was the study just the isolated enzyme Nattokinase or did the participants eat Natto? I think a lot of people go wrong when they just isolate one molecule or item. There may be a synergistic effect of the protein or Vitamin K2 or some other bacteria in the whole food that allows the nattokinase be more efficient.

      an ancient culture eating natto for thousands of years with many health benefits got it wrong!!!! but modern folks with bottles of nattokinase get it right??? um ok. small dose over a lifetime vs. mega dose for some limited time study.

      90% of research papers lack a proper scientific foundation, 90% of clinical trials lack rigor, 100% of supplements in the united states are unregulated, and random sampling shows that many don't even contain what the label claims they contain, then the rest suffer from contamination and purity issues, very few actually are pure. Eat natto Do not take nattokinase. Two or three servings a day TOPS, is probably rational. But you do you.

    Thanks for posting this video and the EXCELLENT information in it. I eat Natto at a nearby Japanese restaurant maybe twice a month. I have never made Natto, so that is something to put on my list of things to do. I want to investigate where I can buy Natto near me that is non-GMO (and ideally, certified organic). I have bought your book Natto Unleashed for myself and look forward to reading it, and have given a copy to someone as a raffle prize at a Natto dinner I organized at a nearby Japanese restaurant, Kohaku, in Huntington, NY. Not many Japanese restaurants near me serve Natto. Natto is not exactly on the menu even at this place, but if you ask and they have it, you can order a few Natto dishes (Natto hand roll, Yamaimo Natto, and Maguro Natto), and I'm sure if you ordered Natto on Brown Rice with some Soy Sauce, and Scallions they would make it for you. Everyone tried two pieces of a Natto mat roll (made especially for this dinner) and all 13 people who attended liked Natto! I too want to spread the news about Natto, and shared the information you shared in this video even before I watched this (diversity of diet, don't eat too much, check with your doctor, etc.)! Thanks very much for spreading the word about Natto (not convinced about the benefits of intermittent fasting but will investigate further...have heard conflicting views on the benefits, and it possibly being harmful at least for some if not everyone). I will next buy your book about the Ikigai Diet in the paperback edition. ❤☮🌎

    Can natto be dangerous if it dislodge a blood clot you don’t know about? Or will the clot reduce in size too fast to pose a threath? And could it be added when taking anti coagulants? I want to stop with the anti coagulants in order to take natto, since natto does so many things for the cardiovascular system that the anti coagulants don’t. Is it safe to stop with anti coagulants and just overlap it with natto? And before someone says I have to «talk to my doctor».. 😂 don’t bother.. They know NADA about this.

      @theikigaidiet3790  Рік тому +1

      Yes, you can, but they don't taste as good as fermented soybeans. As for the health benefits, you should gain some of the health benefits in natto such as natto kin.

    • @soft-spun
      @soft-spun Місяць тому

      2021 study "Preparation of Vitamin K2 Mk-7 in a Process of Fermentation..." graphs 1 day ferment levels of K2 in lentils as about 50% less and in chickpeas 25% of soybeans. Nattokinase can be seen in how slimy it gets. So yes you can, but it is likely suboptimallly adapted/effective for nutrition.

      @theikigaidiet3790  Рік тому +4

      Thank you for your comment, Michael. Nattokinase in Natto is not good with heat, over 50 degrees centigrade, so if you want to gain the benefits of nattokinase, it is better that you don’t mix natto with cooked food. However Natto bacteria don’t die even with the boiling temperature, you still get the benefits of natto bacteria.
      For nattokinase, please watch the video below.
