Victoria Beckham always manages to look slim, and the former Spice Girl attributes her trim figure to eating healthily. Beckham is a big fan of Japanese cuisine which typically includes foods such as rice, fish, fruit, vegetables, and soy. Tea is also a major component of the average Japanese diet. The city of Okinawa in Japan has one of the best longevity rates in the world, and you can be sure that the cuisine helps with that.

One of Beckham’s favorites is edamame beans. This soybean is fast gaining popularity due to its many health benefits. The United States Department of Agriculture calls edamame beans “a snack with a nutritional punch”. Edamame is a type of soybean. It contains loads of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. This ensures that your body gets a healthy amount of protein and fat in your daily diet. Edamame also has a slight laxative effect, and this is a common traditional remedy in some parts of Asia. Soya products also help reduce the risk of stomach, colon, and prostate cancer.

The beans can be eaten as a whole. Another popular way is to use them as a dip. The Oriental section of your local supermarket usually has this in supply. Beckham always orders a bowl when dining at London’s number one Japanese restaurant, Nobu.

Seaweed shakes are also a part of Beckham’s diet. It is packed with vitamins and nutrients and also acts as a detoxification agent. It even helps you have smoother skin. Miso soup is another traditional Japanese dish, and it contains both tofu and seaweed.

Take note that edamame beans and seaweed shakes need to be supplemented with some carbohydrates. It is always better to have a balanced diet so as to get all the necessary vitamins and minerals in the body. Japanese rice is a nice treat, and sushi is another Japanese dish if you’re looking for carbohydrate sources.
