1 Soymilk is called "brain-strengthening" food by western nutritionists, because soybean phospholipids contained in soy milk can activate brain cells and improve the memory and attention of the elderly.
2. Phospholipid is one of the basic substances of human cells, and it is an essential component of brain cells and nerve cells. The metabolism of phospholipids in organisms is related to the functional state of the brain. After people take soybean phospholipids, choline, glycerophosphate and fatty acids are produced by hydrolysis in vivo, which has strong physiological activity and nutritional value. Therefore, the elderly often take soybean phospholipids to improve neurochemical function and brain function, which plays a promoting role. Appropriate supplementation of phospholipids can alleviate the degeneration and death of brain cells and enhance physical fitness.
3, soybean phospholipids can resist aging, but also because phospholipids have the function of protecting and restoring cells. Cell membrane is composed of phospholipids, protein and cholesterol, which are responsible for supplying substances necessary for cell life and excreting waste during metabolism. Therefore, for the elderly, soybean phospholipid is a kind of health food with obvious effect of stimulating the vitality of brain cells.
Disadvantages of soy milk:
1, soy milk contains phytoestrogens, which may increase the risk of breast cancer. Therefore, if you have a family history of breast cancer, you need to ask your doctor if you can drink soy milk.
2. Wash soy milk with eggs. After the egg is mixed with soy milk, the mucinous protein in the egg is easy to "closely" combine with the protease in soy milk, resulting in a substance that cannot be absorbed at all.
3. Add brown sugar. When the organic acids in brown sugar combine with protein in soy milk, it will produce a denatured precipitate, which can decompose and destroy the nutrients in brown sugar and soy milk. However, adding sugar to soy milk will not produce the above chemical reaction.
