Pork

Japanese
Buta Niku (豚肉)

Pork is commonly used for Japanese cooking and is valued in Yakuzen philosophy.

Pork is prized for its ability to nourish yin and moisturize your organs. When organs are too dry, symptoms like dry cough, rough skin, constipation, and fatigue can arise. Including pork in your diet may help alleviate these issues.

Additionally, pork is rich in Vitamin B1, which supports recovery from fatigue. Pigs' feet are also traditionally believed to boost milk production and improve skin elasticity, helping to reduce wrinkles.

In short, pork is both a delicious and anti-aging food with a host of wellness benefits.
