"You are What you eat"

Konnyaku for healthier Tomorrow!!

Perhaps more than ever today, the average person feels the forces of today's social pressure to excel in life. This is especially so for today's working women.

She must constantly balance:
- The demands of her time
- The need to live healthily
- The desire to be attractive and trendy

All these pressures correspond to proper nutrition, but the balance has yet to be completely found.

The FDA agrees that a major source of disease from an American lifestyle is the shortage of dietary fiber in its diet. This often results in obesity, constellation, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, gallstones, and hemorrhoids.

In fact, it is a common notion that 2/3 of American are overweight and 1/3 are medically obese.

There is a reason why Japanese people are considered among the healthiest people in the world. Our diet consists of many healthy foods, such as fish, vegetables and fruits. However, there are foods unique to the Japanese diet, one being Konnyaku. Konnyaku's high fiber content makes it not only a tasty food but a healthy one as well.
