I am wondering..who would be interested in joinning me on this one a week challenge..basicly, it is to eat one healthy unfamiliar food (could be fruits, vegetables, oriental foods, something you never had before) per week. I have always been interest in eating exotic foods. When I was a meat eater I pretty much ate every kind of meat out there ( i know gross, that's why i am a vegetarian now).. this week I tried natto for the first time.. so i did a little research (wikapidia..lol)
Nattō is claimed to prevent obesity, possibly due to a low calorie content of approximately 90 calories per 7-8 grams of protein in an average serving. Unverified claims include improved digestion, reduced effects of aging, and the reversal of hair loss in men due to its phytoestrogen content, which can lower testosterone that can cause baldness. These conjectured physiological effects of eating natto are based on biochemically active contents of nattō, and have not been confirmed by human study.

so who's up for the challenge??
