Marie-Ève travels to Okinawa and restores her health. There, she consumes miso every day. Returning to Quebec, she continues this healing ritual. Here's what she tells me.
The Japanese government recommends two servings of miso soup a day. After Hiroshima, a percentage of the population appears to have been unaffected by radiation. Miso paste is therefore believed to be a powerful detoxifier that eliminates heavy metals while bringing our body's pH back to the alkaline side.
As for coffee, in the morning you boil your water, dilute 1 teaspoon in 2 of cold water, wait until the boiled water is hot: you should not boil the miso, you wait until the water is hot, never boiling, before pouring it over the diluted miso.
You can add algae, sprouts or take as is.
We can also add miso directly to our sandwiches, as a tapenade.
The older the miso, the more beneficial its effects are for our body.
We have a miso made in Quebec, Massawipi. You'll find it in supermarkets, in the refrigerator.
"It seems to me that miso can be one of the most important components of an individual's diet... I have observed that, with rare exceptions, families consuming miso on a daily basis are almost never ill... By taking miso every day, one improves one's physical constitution and thus develops resistance to disease. I am convinced that miso ranks among the highest possible medicines: those that help prevent disease and strengthen the body when practiced daily." Dr. Shinichiro Akizuki, Director of Saint Francis Hospital, Nagasaki, 1965 and 1980, quoted in Shurtleff and Aoyagi, The Book of Miso, 1983.
