Benefits of Eating Japanese Goya

There is a reason why the Okinawan Diet is so popular. Beyond being one of the reasons why people of Okinawa are said to have the longest lifespans in the world, food eaten by native Okinawans such as Mozuku seaweed and Goya packed full with valued added nutrition.

What is Goya?

Goya is bitter melon in Japanese. Although highlighted in the diet of Okinawa, it is not uncommon to be eaten in most parts of Japan. Unlike other fruits you are used to eating it comes with a peculiar bitterness, hence the name bitter melon.

Goya Health Benefits

Goya among being a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B2, and dietary fiber, gives you Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) that can be found sold in most diet supplement stores like your local GNC.

CLA is said to aid in fat loss especially important when you are trying to lose weigh on a diet. Like other fat burning foods, all you have to do is incorporate it in your diet to reap all the benefits.

You will find more information regarding the pros and cons of CLA in your diet in another article. The purpose of this article is to let you know it's there and that it may help you lose body fat.

Sources of Conjugated Linoleic Acid

Three sources come to mind when trying to get CLA in your diets which include the following.
- Kangaroo Meat
- CLA Capsules
- Goya
- Other notable sources of CLA

I think you would agree that the eating goya is the most preferable way to get CLA in your diet.

Although available in areas near Australia, chances are that kangaroo is not available in your area. On top of that, what you will find is that there are other sources of CLA than eating kangaroo.

CLA capsules may seem like a way to go but when it comes down to it, you don't want to be paying top dollar for a pill when there are natural sources out there that can be easily incorporated in cooking.

Goya in my opinion is the way to go. Not only do you know where the CLA is coming from (assurance that it isn't just being made in a lab somewhere synthetically).

There is more than one way to getting goya with your diet such as eating goya whole, taking goya tablets, or drinking goya tea.
