Burning with spicy Thai food I reached for a glass of water.
Mouth stinging someone mentioned the health benefits of Soba noodles that
sparked an immediate Google search. Soba noodles (Buckwheat) are native
Japanese food that contains significant health benefits for blood pressure,
cholesterol, fat accumulation, and fitness (1). You
can find these noodles in most health stores, Asian markets, and even some
chain grocery chains.
Are you are trying to get in great shape but are addicted to
pasta which keeps foiling your fitness levels? Soba noodles offer that healthy
alternative that doesn’t skimp on taste nor costs considerably more than
commercial brands. You can use Soba noodles in most noodle recipes which helps in
ensuring that your transition to a healthy lifestyle is easy and tasty. As a
buckwheat product it doesn’t contain all of the negative effects of processed
wheat noodles (2).
Buckwheat noodles are regularly cooked, rinsed and served
cold (3).
They are high in protein and low in calories (4).
This make them a great way to gain protein in your food and ensure that you are
meeting the protein and amino acid requirements for muscle gain. Unlike many
other muscle building of foods this one affords an opportunity to keep body fat
off while still providing enough nutrition. No protein shakes needed here.
Even though my first experience with Soba noodles was over
Thia food it became something more useful for regular use. The noodles are not
only for the Asian dish but can be customized for the American palate. You can
make regular food like spaghetti, garlic noodles, and other favorite dishes
with the Soba. A few ideas can be found HERE. There are
others if you are willing to search around.
