FW: KOOL Pasta or Jello Konjac or Konnyaku -Soluble Fiber

[Guest guest]

ALL,

Are you looking for a way to add soluble fiber, reduce CHOL, LDL, or TG,

need a very low-carb low-calorie pasta replacement or jello, and it's ready

to eat........

Check out Konjac or Konnyaku. The pasta is called SIRATAKI. The " jello " is

SUKIYAKI. These are inexpensive imports from Japan.

I just drop the pasta in hot water, rinse & drain, add sauce. The pasta is

tasteless so it takes on the flavor of your sauce or dish. Anytime I eat

" land meat " I eat a serving of this going on the theory it will reduce

saturated fat absorption. This soluble fiber, unlike others, is said to

slow stomach emptying. It is used to reduce BG levels too when eaten with

meals. Check out the Glucomannan noted below too.

Here is more info... you can tell this was " translated " ...

Konnyaku (Amorphophaiius Konjac,K. Koch.) produced from tubers of Konnyaku

root, has been consumed as a part of important Japanese dishes for over

2,000 years. Science now unvail the real value of the Konnyaku as a high

dietary, non fat, fiber low calorie diet food which shows several unique

functions for maintaining a well-being.

When taken with foods, it reduces speed of sugar intake which prevent rapid

blood sugar level jump. Instead, it gives graduale increment. Study also

indicates Konnyaku lowers Choresterol level. Konnyaku is ideal for weight

reduction since Konnyaku forms jelly like material and expands about 30-50

times in the digestive system and gives the feeling that the stomach is

full. The Konnyaku cleans the digestive tract of toxins.

Most recently, the food industry is paying attention to the Konnayku flour

to replace conventional starch formulations since the Konnyaku is lower in

calories and lower in fat without sacrificing texture and taste.

In 1977, American Senate nourishment special committee published a report

that says the shortage of fiber in eating habits is one of the reason that

adult diseases (fatness, constipation, arteriosclerosis, heart sickness,

diabetes, cancer, gallstone, and hemorrhoids) have come to be popular. For

example, dietary fiber activates the function of intestines and let the

harmful things go quickly out of your body. As a result, it defends you from

intestine cancer. Konnyaku contains much fiber in it and keep you away from

such diseases.

Moreover, Konnyaku is one of the most effective items for defending yourself

from fatness. If you would like to keep your body slim, it is necessary to

keep the caloric intake in some amount. However it needs a great deal of

patience if you decide to reduce your meal without any help. It may be also

no good for your mental health to endure hunger.

But if you use Konnyaku, you can eat ordinary or more amount of food every

day because Konnyaku has very low CALORIE (3Kcal/100g). Since long time ago,

Japan has such healthy foods like Konnyaku and Tofu. They will surely help

your physical and mental health.

Glucomannan is high in fiber, essential for cleaning the digestive system.

Glucomannan is taken from the Konnyaku root and is from the same family as

the yam, which is 100 percent natural dietary fiber without calories. Since

lack of fiber is a major cause for the high incidence of growing

gastrointestinal disorders, it is a valuable herb.

It helps reduce cholesterol, helps maintain regularity and promotes bowel

health. It helps to normalize blood sugar, to relieve stress on the pancreas

and to discourage blood sugar abnormalities, such as hypoglycemia.

Glucomannan absorbs toxic substances produced during digestion and

elimination. It binds toxic material and eliminates them before they can be

absorbed into the blood stream.

Glucomannan acts as a prevention of chronic disease and a weight control

agent. As a diet aid, it expands to about 50 times its original volume when

used with a large glass of water.

Atheroslerosis Hemorrhoids

Constipation High blood pressure

Diabetes Hypoglycemia

Digestive problems Obesity

Diverticular disease Pancreas (reduce stress)
