1. PERFECT PTOTEINSoybeans are powerhouses when it comes to protein. One cup of cooked soybeans provides nearly 30 grams of protein, more than half your daily recommended amount. Soy beans also contain all the amino acids essential for human nutrition, making them a complete protein. This is a rarity in the plant world, and soybeans are an excellent food for vegetarians, or for anyone looking for a healthy protein source. Soybeans also have the advantage of being much lower in fat than meat. Nearly all of that fat is unsaturated and cholesterol-free.
2. HEART HEALTHY SOY
Soybeans are a low-fat, high-fiber food. By incorporating soy into your diet, especially if you are replacing high-fat, high-cholesterol animal products, you can give your cardiovascular health a huge boost. Soy isoflavones also lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise your HDL (good) cholesterol.
3. CALCIUM AND BONE HEALTH
Soy beans are a good source of calcium, and many processed soy products made from the whole bean, such as tofu, tempeh, roasted soy nuts or fortified soymilk, also contain high levels of calcium. A diet high in protein has been shown to leech calcium out of your bones, leaving them brittle and prone to osteoporosis, but soy protein conserves calcium levels in the body. Soy isoflavones also strengthen bones and guard against osteoporosis.
4. SOY ISOFLAVONES AND WOMEN’S HEALTH
Soy isoflavones are a type of phytoestrogen, plant molecules similar to the human estrogen, that can have many beneficial effects on women's health. Scientists are still exploring soy's power, but some studies have shown that soy isoflavones can reduce the severity of hot flashes and other symptoms during menopause, and they may reduce a woman's risk of breast cancer. However, there is also some evidence that consuming too much soy can be detrimental and may effect your fertility and thyroid levels. Some studies suggest it might even raise your risk of cancer. Moderation is the key. By choosing to get your soy isoflavones from whole soy bean products, and by avoiding processed foods artificially fortified with isoflavones, you'll limit your soy intake to healthy levels.
5. CHOOSING YOUR SOY
Soy can be found in a variety of products. Whole soy beans have a mild, slightly nutty flavor, and can be used like any other dry bean in soups, stews, casseroles and side dishes. Edamame, immature green soy beans, are a popular appetizer in Japan and an exciting addition to stir fries and salads. Tofu has a smooth texture similar to cheese or custard, and tempeh is chewier and more crumbly; both can be used in place of meat in many recipes. Unfortunately, nearly all commercial soybeans have been genetically-modified. To avoid GMO soy, buy products that are certified organic or are labeled as non-GMO.
