Compiled by Lin Minghui Soybean flour is one of the common ingredients in Japanese desserts. Last year, Japan’s Haagen-Dazs launched a limited edition soybean flour black honey mochi, which caused a wave of craze among netizens. However, soybean flour is not only delicious, but its diverse nutritional content has also attracted the attention of many health people. Effect 1: Relieve Premenstrual Syndrome Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) refers to symptoms such as anxiety, abdominal pain, depression, lethargy, and acne that occur 3 to 10 days before menstruation. Japanese nutrition manager Erika Kanemaru said that soy flour is rich in soy isoflavones, which have similar effects to estrogen. In addition to improving PMS, irregular menstruation, and menopausal discomfort, it also has a breast enhancement effect. In addition, the concentration of vitamin B6 in the body is low during menstruation, so it is recommended to take it actively before menstruation to relieve menstrual pain. Effect 2: Prevent constipation. Soybean flour is rich in dietary fiber and can increase the weight of feces. It also contains soy oligosaccharides, which increase the beneficial bacteria in the intestines, help reorganize the intestinal environment, and make defecation smoother. Effect 3: Improve concentration and metabolism. Erika Kanemaru pointed out that lecithin in soy flour is one of the main components of cell membranes. It is responsible for regulating brain and nerve functions, promoting brain cell activity, and helping to improve concentration. In addition, lecithin can also discharge old waste materials accumulated in cells, activate lipid metabolism, reduce bad cholesterol and neutral fat, thereby improving the metabolic capacity of the whole body, and is the best partner for weight loss. However, don’t gorge yourself on soy flour just because you think it’s healthy. It is not low in calories, with 100 grams containing 437 calories. Therefore, if you consume a small amount every day, you will not get fatter. Nutritionist Mikiko Michie suggests that the daily intake of soybean flour should be about 10 grams and no more than 20 grams. Consume it with tryptophan-rich almonds, edamame, chrysanthemum, mushrooms, and milk to promote sleep. Or pair it with vegetables rich in vitamins and minerals to speed up protein absorption.
