I’m 47 but people think I’m decades younger – I don’t wear make-up or get Botox, my Japanese food keeps me wrinkles free
WE all want to maintain our youthful appearance for as long as possible.
And buying anti-ageing creams or getting treatments can be expensive, especially right now when money is so tight.
But some experts believe it’s as simple as the food that you put into your system.
Some superfoods support anti-ageing because they are rich in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants.
And it’s advised that we should eat a variety of these foods to ensure optimal nutrition intake.
A superfood includes salmon, broccoli, or blueberries, and is something that is rich in compounds such as antioxidants, fibre, or fatty acids.
And one beauty fan knows this trick all too well.
The 47 year old woman, who goes by the name of 40montobe on TikTok, often shares top tips to looking so young.
She explains that she will often wear no makeup and avoids having botox.
In one particular video, she says: “I researched thousands of young looking Japanese women and they all eat natto.
“It is good food for anti-aging but it has many more health benefits. I can talk forever about natto benefits…”
In the video, she explains that it smells terrible and that you have to stir it “100 times”.
She adds: “this sticky slime gives you so many health benefits.
“I used to hate this but now I can’t live without it. It’s so tasty.”
Nattō, spelled as natto in standard English language use, is a traditional Japanese food.
It is made from whole soybeans that have been fermented with Bacillus subtilis var. Natto.
It is often served as a breakfast food with rice, and tastes have been compared to a salty cottage cheese or old Brie.
The Japanese food contains fibre, probiotics, vitamin K2 and nattokinase.
This combination may help reduce cholesterol and blood pressure levels and decrease the risk of heart disease.
After sharing this video on TikTok, the 47 year old mum also advised on how much a person should eat of it to reap the benefits.
One wrote: “IT’s recommended to eat 1 pack everyday, no heat up because it will kill all the good thing, yes only stir and eat.”
Many other people rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “So i bought without sauce and I’m leafy of what to add Chinese hot mustard American mustard ? Lite shoyu or a dashi can you help.”
To which she replied: “Sorry for the late reply! Yes mustard is good, I like dashi and shoyu better though.”
But others weren’t sure of the smell or taste of the fermented food.
One wrote: “ummmm no …its too nasty smelling!”
