Striking a Balance. Within the normal gait cycle, both pronation and supination are essential for proper momentum and balance. Upon heel strike, the foot is slightly supinated. As the foot moves through the heel strike, pronation at the ankle and flexion of the knee absorb the majority of the impact.
Diabetes. Shirataki noodles help prevent type 2 diabetes in a similar way to weight loss. They replaces the high carbohydrate part of meals, which in turn, will reduce blood sugar spikes and the high insulin response from meals. This reduces the insulin stress on the body and so reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Benefits Of Shirataki Noodles. I'm a HUGE fan of shirataki noodles which are made from the root of the konjac plant, that is widely used in both China and Japan. The main component of the konjac root is glucomannan, a water-soluble dietary fiber consisting of mannose and glucose sugars. The name shirataki means white waterfall, which describes the appearance, as noodles made from konjac fiber are thin, translucent, and gelatinous.
