Second, the benefits of eating tofu

1. The "protector" of menopause

Tofu is high in calcium and contains amino acids, which has a good effect on preventing menopausal diseases and can also resist menopausal diseases. High quality calcium content can prevent and resist the occurrence of osteoporosis, breast cancer and prostate.

2. Prevention of cardiovascular diseases

Tofu can not only strengthen the brain, but also inhibit the intake of cholesterol. Soybean protein significantly reduces plasma cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein, which can not only prevent colon cancer, but also help prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

3. Reduce the risk of breast cancer

Soybeans used to make tofu contain soybean isoflavones, which can adjust the response of mammary glands to estrogen. The concentration of isoflavones in Japanese women's urine is 100~ 1000 times that of American and Dutch women, which is related to the fact that Japanese people often eat soybeans, and it is also a reason why the incidence of breast cancer in Japan is lower than that in Europe and America. In addition, it can also effectively prevent leukemia, colon cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer and so on.

4. Anti-vascular

Saponins contained in soybean can scavenge free radicals in vivo, and have remarkable anticancer activity, and have the effects of inhibiting the growth of tumor cells, inhibiting platelet aggregation and resisting thrombosis.

Modern medicine has proved that tofu not only has the functions of increasing nutrition, helping digestion and stimulating appetite, but also is beneficial to the growth and development of teeth and bones, and can increase the content of iron in blood in hematopoietic function.
