This is
my first blog entry and to tell you guys I don't know if I'm doing this the
right way but I will try my best.
One hot afternoon my sister and I went to the
mall near our home, we do it often especially when we get bored at home. We’ve
been walking for hours checking some clothes, shoes and other stuffs. After
hours of walking we felt that we need to take a break and look for some place
to stay and rest for a while then we saw this green themed stall, "Soya
Bar". Since that's the first time we saw that snack bar we decided to try
some of their products and ordered taho but we chose the "Chilled Taho"
over the "Hot Taho" since it is very hot on that particular day.
Taho is a snack food in the Philippines made of fresh soft/silken tofu matched with arnibal (made of brown sugar and vanilla syrup), and sago which is also called as pearl tapioca. We also grab some "Soy Bubble Milk Tea".

Nowadays
people start to think healthy, I guess that's the reason why new establishments
with the healthy theme got people's attention. As I have said a while ago "Taho"
is made of soft/silken tofu and tofu comes from "soya beans".
Let's count
the benefit's we can get in consuming products from soya beans. According to
experts soy proteins and isoflavone present in soya bean helps in maintaining
good health.
1. Soy can
help prevent Osteoporosis (makes your bones weak and more likely to break).
2. Soy can
help prevent heart disease (it helps by reducing total cholesterol, low density
lipoprotein cholesterol and preventing plaque buildup in the arteries, which could
lead to stroke or heart attack).
3. High
protein content of Soy can improve athletic performance (Soy can give energy
has high protein content which can be converted to calories. With its high
protein content it can build and keep up lean body mass.
4. Soy has
been shown to help those with, and prevent, Type 2 Diabetes.
5. Soy can
help prevent Cancer of the Breast, Colon, Uterus and Prostate.
6. Soy helps
in weight loss. (Whoa! I think I need to consume more Soy! *wink*).
7. It
maintains normal premenstrual syndrome and menstrual health. (According to
experts Asian women suffer less from hot flashes and night sweats than Western
women. According to them most symptoms of menopause are caused by low estrogen
levels which play a role in the body temperature control.
And the list
goes on. For more information on the health benefits we can get in consuming
Soy you can find lots of info's from the net.
Good thing the
quality of their products made our experience pleasant and we will definitely
go back. Aside from "Taho" and "Soy Bubble Milk Tea", Soya
Bar offers a healthy variety of food selections such as sandwiches, pasta, quesadillas,
soya frost and more! You will surely enjoy the foods served at Soya Bar. Next
time I'm going to try their Quesadillas and Pasta. :)
