Soybeans and bean products are rich in essential nutrients for human body, such as 8 kinds of amino acids and important trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron and zinc, which also contain flavonoids and phytohormones. Scientific experiments have proved that soybeans not only have anti-cancer effect, but also can coordinate human endocrine function and prevent many diseases.
First, prevent cancer and fight cancer. Isoflavones in soybean have good preventive and therapeutic effects on the occurrence and development of breast cancer, prostate cancer and other cancers. Soybean has a significant preventive effect on breast cancer in menopausal elderly women.
Second, prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. The elderly are prone to osteoporosis. Therefore, old men and women are prone to fractures. If women use hormone replacement therapy in the years before menopause, bone loss can be prevented. Animal experiments show that high-quality protein contained in soybean can promote bone formation well, and human experiments also prove that high-quality protein of soybean can increase bone density in a short time, thus promoting bone health.
Third, it can effectively prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Arteriosclerosis, hypertension, cerebral hemorrhage and coronary heart disease are diseases that seriously threaten and endanger the lives of the elderly.
Eating soybeans and bean products often can effectively prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, thus enhancing physical fitness and prolonging life. Generally, if you eat 50 grams of high-quality soybean protein every day, you can get moderate or high levels of isoflavones, which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the elderly (including menopausal elderly women) after 6 months.
Fourth, it can prevent menopausal syndrome. Menopause is the beginning of women's old age. Women's fever, flushing and senile vaginitis in this period are all caused by the decline of ovarian function. Therefore, we often eat soybeans and bean products, such as tofu diced soup and soybean milk. Soybean is rich in cellulose, which is like a "scavenger" in the intestine. It can not only remove harmful substances in the intestine in time, keep the stool unobstructed, but also regulate the heat energy in the body and maintain the blood sugar balance, which is of great significance to the prevention and treatment of obesity and diabetes in the elderly. It can also promote the vitality of vaginal cells in menopausal women, thus improving the health of elderly women.
