12 myths about soybean

Today, soybean (soy beans, black beans) high nutritional value and excellent health functions of the growing mass of "modern living God."

 

Smart Power

Soybean lecithin is a natural nutrient-rich active agent, is an important material to build smart brain. As the human brain 20 to 30% by the phospholipid composition, so eat rich foods such as soy lecithin can increase the brain acetylcholine release, thereby enhancing people's memory and accept. In addition, the soybean phospholipid containing phosphatidyl inositol, sterols and other nutrients, increase neural function and vitality, better health care function.

 

Anti-acid effect

Soybean lecithin contains 85% ~ 9O% phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl glucoside, etc., for human organs have a good health effect. Recent research results indicate that the body's various tissues and organs contain a large number of phospholipids, soybean phospholipids can increase the organizational function, lower cholesterol and improve lipid metabolism, prevention and treatment of cerebral arteries, coronary artery disease, it also helps the liver healthy, right hepatitis, fatty liver has a certain effect. In addition, soy lecithin also promote the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, to prevent the physical and the acidification of tissues and organs.

 

Multi-energy efficiency

Soybean vegetable protein is also important to the health of the material, because it is the brain involved in complex mental activities, the basic raw material.

Increase the food content of soy protein can increase the cerebral cortex of the excitatory and inhibitory function, enhance learning and efficiency. To avoid the frustration, depression and deep development. Some scholars have conducted comparative study found that people who regularly eat vegetable protein than the control group cholesterol an average of 12%. U.S. scholars who were divided into AB normal cholesterol groups for clinical trials, A group of diet with milk, the main animal protein, B group is mainly soy protein diet, while intake of 500 milligrams of cholesterol a day also. Experimental results showed that after two weeks, B group is not only significantly reduced low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein also increased by 15%. The experiment has fully proved soy protein in the prevention and treatment of heart disease, does play an important role.

 

Nursing Yan Messenger

Physician who is currently being developed both a cosmetic skin care value, but also avoid some side effects of topical beauty products - plant estrogen preparations. The plant estrogens extracted from soybean flavonoids in a similar heterogeneous material, called Sculpt, protects the health of Yen messenger. It has estrogen-like effect, is the top grade cosmetic anti-aging skin.

After studying British and American scientists have revealed the face of pretty women in the East, delicate skin, breast cancer incidence rate lower than Europe and the United States the mysteries of the East soy products for food on the table, "VIP", "guest of honor," while soybean (soy) just called "female hormone King. "

 

Skin Whitening

Japanese woman is a popular fashion: "eat miso whitening the skin." Japan's Ministry of Agriculture Food Research Institute, Department of Food Functional Research confirmed that miso contains a substance that can inhibit melanin synthesis. Melanin is a way for skin-darkening pigment. The skin by ultraviolet radiation, they will promote the secretion of melanoma skin to make it black. They carried out tests on mice, to the synthesis of melanin cells in mice to add the material extracted from the bean paste, they found a black white cells. According to the researchers that it is the linoleic acid composition. Melanin is a synthetic amino acid tyrosine, one of the acid, linoleic acid has prevented cells to produce such a synthesis of the enzyme required for the function.

 

Five anti-cancer effect

The Japanese love to eat tofu is really well-deserved reputation, there were 30000 tofu shop, an average of more than 20 kilograms per person per year to eat tofu. Living in Hawaii, Japanese-Americans often eat tofu, gastric cancer prevalence of less than one-third of Americans do not eat tofu. Hawaii Medical Department had 8,000 Japanese-Americans for up to 20-year follow-up investigation found that eating only once a week or 23 weeks to eat a tofu people, the prevalence of prostate cancer than those who eat tofu higher 3 times.

After a long experiment, the experts come up with a lot of data shows that at least five kinds of soy material with anti-cancer effects, which are: 1, protease inhibin; 2, myo-inositol phosphatase 6; 3, plant sterols; 4, saponin ; 5, isoflavones.

 

Physiological activity

Soybean saponin by increasing levels of SOD, scavenging free radicals, with anti-oxidation and reduce the role of lipid peroxidation. Soybean saponins inhibit tumor cell growth, reporting directly to the role of toxic cells, immune regulation function of the human body, but also could damage the structure of tumor cell membrane or inhibit DNA synthesis. Soybean saponin can be controlled thrombocytopenia and thrombosis caused by thrombin fibrin formation, has anti-thrombotic effect. Soybean saponins from a variety of biological functions such as lipid-lowering, anti-oxidation, anti-atherosclerosis and immune regulation, and determined that it is a broad prospect of application of drugs.

 

Mystery of phosphorus enzyme

Soy contains phytase, phosphorus is an essential nutrient constant. However, the medical profession in the past have always thought that phytase would be the body of calcium, iron and consolidation in the intestines, making it difficult to absorb these minerals. It was discovered that although the myo-inositol phosphatase 6 calcium, iron the body absorbs the impact of consolidation in the intestines, but it can inhibit the occurrence of colon cancer. Phytase often appears in high-iron plants, soybeans high iron content, but also rich in cellulose, cellulose can prevent colon cancer, it was discovered that six inositol phosphatase, it has even enhanced soy can prevent colon cancer confidence.

 

Steroid Chuan Send

Animal foods containing cholesterol, plant foods contain plant sterols. Decomposition of the body after intake of cholesterol is the main product of bile acids, harmful to health. Plant sterols into the body, cholesterol in the intestine with the competition being able to more intestinal absorption, thereby reducing cholesterol, not only to inhibit colon cancer, is also beneficial to the fight against heart disease.

 

Enzyme as outstanding service

Legumes, cereals and potatoes of these crops, there is a pigment known as protease inhibitory substances, if the animal feed raw, it will affect the protein digestion, a scholar at New York University experiments found that soybean protease inhibin can suppression of skin cancer, bladder cancer, the inhibition of breast cancer is more effective up to 50%. Another reported that the protease inhibitory hormone on colon cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, can also play back cavity cancer inhibition effect.

 

Prevention of deafness

Aged over 60-year-old, hearing loss, suffering from age-related hearing loss to many people. Nutrition experts believe that the human body, iron supplementation can expand capillaries, softening red blood cells, to ensure the blood supply to the ear can be effective in preventing hearing loss. Soybean iron and zinc content is much higher than those of other food. Therefore, eat soy products help prevent age-related deafness.

 

Stroke Prevention

The root causes of stroke is high blood pressure and hardening of the brain clock, which is its main cause and pathologic basis, the U.S. medical community to the 2000 survey found that U.S. middle-aged people, hypertension, urinary sodium excretion in urine of patients with increased urinary potassium decrease, which indicates a high blood pressure in patients with diet, excessive intake of sodium, potassium intake is too small and must therefore be high potassium intake of food, prompting the body excrete excess sodium. K-rich foods are many kinds of vegetables in soy products that nutritionists, spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, potatoes, fruit, bananas, grapefruit, oranges, sweet orange is the maintenance of human health can play a big role.
