Common sense of daily life tells us that eating more tofu is good for health, especially for slim women, and they want to eat tofu as their staple food, but they have to pour some cold water on everyone. In fact, tofu is not as perfect as we thought, and eating more tofu has disadvantages, and excessive consumption will also endanger health. Problem 1: When people with renal function decline to the old age, the ability of kidney to excrete waste decreases. At this time, if you eat a lot of tofu and eat too much plant protein, it will inevitably increase the nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, increase the burden on the kidney, and further decline the renal function, which is not conducive to your health. Question 2: that bean curd cause indigestion is rich in protein. Eating too much at one time not only hinders the absorption of iron, but also easily leads to protein's indigestion, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other discomfort symptoms. Question 3: Promoting the formation of arteriosclerosis American medical experts pointed out that soy products are extremely rich in methionine, which will damage endothelial cells on the arterial wall, easily deposit cholesterol and triglycerides on the arterial wall, and promote the formation of arteriosclerosis. Question 4: Causing iodine deficiency Soybeans for tofu contain a substance called saponin, which can not only prevent atherosclerosis, but also promote the excretion of iodine in human body. Long-term excessive consumption of tofu can easily cause iodine deficiency disorders. Question 5: Tofu that promotes gout attacks contains more purines. Gout patients with abnormal purine metabolism and patients with increased serum uric acid concentration can easily lead to gout attacks, and gout patients should eat less. It can be seen that the elderly and patients with kidney disease, iron deficiency anemia, gout and arteriosclerosis should control their food intake, and those with stomach cold, diarrhea, abdominal distension and kidney deficiency should not eat more.
