The macrobiotic diet, a health and wellness
philosophy originating in the Far East, rec-
ommends that foods be as natural as possible,
and it is believed to help us live longer and
more actively. Macrobiotic source foods include
fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and spices.
Unfortunately, most of us tend to consume ani-
mal protein instead of plant protein, saturated
animal fat instead of vegetable oil, chemically
processed rather than organic foods, and too
many simple sugars rather than complex carbo-
hydrates. It is no wonder that our general health
is suffering, because the quality of each of these
nutritional factors is so poor.
The Benefits of Fermented Foods
Fermented foods have always been part of the
ideal diet. The fermentation of vegetables and
beans was perfected in Asia, a tradition that
currently produces staples such as soy sauce,
miso, natto, kimchi, and tempeh. Although many
foods fermented today are the same foods that
were fermented in ancient times, advances in
microbiology, biochemistry, and technology have
allowed for far greater control of
the end product. Other than
simply detoxifying and
preserving food, fermenta-
tion has served humans
by enriching food quality and “pre-digesting”
phytonutrients. For decades, those researching
fermented vegetables have reported increases in
amino acid, vitamin, and organic acid concentra-
tions of the final product.
Make Macrobiotics Part of Your Diet
Best Fermented Superfoods
,
or preB
®
, is a
unique combination of over 50 macrobiotic
ingredients sourced from organically grown
plants on the Anew farm in Brazil. Crafted into
a liquid utilizing contemporary fermentation
techniques, these ingredients honor the centuries-
old tradition of macrobiotics that became popu-
larized in the US by Michio Kushi, who also
spearheaded the development of preB
®
. The inge-
nuity of preB
®
is in its lengthy, unprecedented
Three Step Fermentation process that pre-digests
the source foods. The end result is the liquid
found in Best Fermented Superfoods capsules,
which contains trace amounts of phytonutrients
and bioactive compounds found in the source
foods, such as the free radical scavenging
bioflavonoid hesperidin found in citrus.
How preB
®
Supports Intestinal Health
preB
®
is derived from health-pro-
moting macrobiotic source foods
that contain countless natural phy-
tochemicals and bioactive compounds, many of
which are considered as contributing to human
health. Fermentation of these foods further endows
them with yet more potential for health benefits.
Cabbage, one of the source foods in Best
Fermented Superfoods, contains compounds called
glucosinolates. During fermentation, the glucosi-
nolates break down, most notably into isoth-
iocyanates, indole-3-carbinol, and sulforaphane.
These newly formed fermentation compounds
enhance the synthesis of detoxification enzymes.
Numerous studies conducted on kimchi – the
popular Korean preparation of fermented
vegetables – reveal numerous benefits, such as
increased activities of liver enzymes which help rid
the body of foreign compounds.
