First, curd is praised as the "Oriental cheese" but the nutritional value is better than cheese, cheese as an animal fermented protein food containing fat and cholesterol are very high, but soybeans, especially tofu contains high-quality proteins, not only to reduce serum cholesterol can also protect the cardiovascular system. Cardiovascular. Therefore, tofu milk as a plant-based fermented protein food is called the "Oriental cheese".
Secondly, the protein molecules of soybeans are large and not well absorbed by the body, but in the fermentation process under the action of microorganisms the protein molecules in the tofu milk become smaller and more conducive to the body's absorption and digestion. Because of the microbial synthesis of vitamin B12 for it is not generally plant foods, vegetarian people often eat some tofu milk can prevent pernicious anemia, in the fermentation process to generate a large number of oligopeptides, with anti-aging, anti-cancer, lower blood lipids and other physiological health care functions, high-quality tofu milk, such as good fermented foods can play a role in increasing the body's role in the role of beneficial bacteria, and effectively enhance the human body immune system.
Benefits of eating bean curd milk
One, lower cholesterol
The fat in curd is unsaturated fatty acid, which itself does not contain cholesterol. The protein hydrophobic components in curd can combine with bile acids to reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body. It is more beneficial to health than cheese which contains high cholesterol.
Two, to prevent anemia
Because microorganisms decompose the phytic acid in beans, so that the original absorption rate of soybeans is very low in iron, zinc and other minerals more easily absorbed by the body. At the same time, because the microbes synthesize vitamin B12, which is not normally found in plant foods, vegetarians can prevent pernicious anemia by eating some curd regularly.
Three, anti-cancer
Soy isoflavones are polyphenolic mixtures with antioxidant activity, can prevent and inhibit leukemia, with anti-tumor efficacy, especially on the breast cancer and prostate cancer has a positive preventive and therapeutic effects.
