Tofu brain, also known as tofu flower, is a unique food in China, and tofu brain can be eaten in two ways: sweet and salty. Usually, the salty tofu brain in the north is the main one. In fact, tofu brain is a kind of high-nutrient food made of soybean protein, which is very beneficial to human health if eaten regularly. Because soybean itself is an extremely healthy and nutritious food, tofu brain made from its essence has higher natural nutrition and is more conducive to human health.

1. Nutritional value

It can be said that bean curd is the essence of a large number of soybeans, which shows that it is extremely rich in nutrients. In some studies, a small piece of bean curd is rich in nutrients such as iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, which are all essential trace elements for the human body. In addition, in the bean curd brain, it also contains sugar, vegetable oil and rich high-quality protein, so it has the reputation of "vegetable meat". Moreover, the digestion and absorption rate of tofu is over 95%, so no matter the elderly or children, they don't have to worry about indigestion.

Moreover, the bean curd brain is very rich in calcium. Usually, two small pieces of bean curd can meet a person's daily calcium requirement, not to mention bean curd brain. Therefore, in our daily life, we can use bean curd as a good calcium supplement.

Step 2 increase appetite

Many people often suffer from loss of appetite in life, which will seriously endanger human health and gastrointestinal health for a long time. Therefore, experts remind them to eat more food with appetite-enhancing effect during illness. For example, tofu brain, which contains a large number of minerals and trace elements, is conducive to enhancing appetite, in addition to effectively promoting gastrointestinal digestion. In addition, eating more tofu brain can also promote the growth and development of teeth and bones.

For patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, we should eat more tofu brain, because it contains no cholesterol, so it is the best medicinal food for patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

Step 3 supplement estrogen

The reason why gynecological diseases and gynecological tumor diseases are so high in recent years is mainly related to the disorder and deficiency of estrogen secretion in women. Especially for menopausal women, if estrogen secretion is disordered, it will induce various menopausal syndromes, and in severe cases, it may cause disease. Tofu brain contains a lot of phytoestrogens, which can effectively promote the secretion of estrogen in women, thus better protecting women's health.

Therefore, experts remind menopausal women that they should develop the habit of eating tofu and bean products every day in their daily lives. Only in this way can they better prevent menopausal syndrome and osteoporosis.

4. Taboo items

Although the bean curd brain is rich in nutrients, you should pay special attention to it when eating, and never eat it with spinach. This is because spinach contains a lot of oxalic acid, of which about 300 mg is contained in spinach per 100 g, while tofu contains a lot of calcium. If both of them enter the human body at the same time, they can undergo chemical changes in the human body and generate insoluble calcium oxalate.

These are the unimaginable nutritional values and benefits of tofu brain. It can be said that eating more tofu brain often not only has the effect of prolonging life for human body, but also has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and bone and joint diseases.
