Miso Soup

Miso is a thick paste and is made by fermenting cooked soybeans, koji, sea salt, and different grains for six months to two years. It is a live food and contains significant amounts of friendly bacteria that promote intestinal health. It is important to not cook the miso for this reason but rather to add it to already cooked foods. Consuming miso helps to create an alkaline condition in the body, promoting resistance against disease. The salty flavor of miso stimulates digestion, which is why it has been a traditional breakfast food in Japan for centuries. Adding some cooked fish to the soup will help to boost your metabolism even more at your morning meal.
