The Japanese believe in leading a frugal and simplistic lifestyle. They enjoy drinking a hard drink called sake but moderately. Some Japanese foods, for example natto, help them fight chronic diseases. After cooking soybeans, they mix healthy bacteria with it. The mixture is fermented over hours.

They consume this fermented soy on a regular basis. This food has a high percentage of nattokinase in it. Nattokinase is a special type of enzyme that decreases the risk of blood clot.
