The best weight-loss wonder food!

So, what is this wonder food that will aid in natural weight-loss. These are called the Shirataki noodles or White water-fall noodles or konjac noodles and also,

Miracle noodles - that will help you lose weight naturally!

So, what makes them this miraculous, is the component called Glucomannon. It is a water-soluble natural fibre that come from the root of elephant yam or konjac plant.

The idea is to lose weight while consuming it and the reason it does that is because it has the amazing capability of absorbing and soaking up the water like a sponge. The reason we are talking about Shirataki noodles is its basis in the Japanese food culture and because we have been doing the Japanese Bento box food event this February, this was a great occasion to bring these wonder noodles into the light.

Shirataki in Japanese means white waterfall, which describes the white supple and smooth texture of these noodles. they contain a lot of water - 97% and very little glucomannan fibre - 3%, that;'s is why they are low in calories and contain no digestible carbs.

So, how does it aid in weight-loss, you may ask?

They are highly viscous fibre as I mentioned. this property makes them absorb 50 times its weight in water, thus moving very slow through the digestive system, which in turn makes you feel full, helping you achieve the feeling of satiety.

Other nutritional benefit includes-

a. Glucomannan fibre functions as a prebiotic. It is good for maintaining your gut health and it nourishes the bacteria living in your colon, also known as the cut flora.

b. It also helps with delaying nutrient absorption into the bloodstream.

c. It helps treat constipation because of its action a a bulky fibre, imagine a water balloon which is pushing down the waste in your intestine.

d. It slows down the absorption of sugar and cholesterol from the gut, helping to control sugar levels in diabetes and reducing cholesterol levels.
