Which is more nutritious, bean sprouts or tofu?
It's hard to compare, because the nutrients of the two have different focuses.
Soybean sprouts are a nutritious, flavorful vegetable that is a greater source of protein and vitamins. Sweet taste, cool nature, into the spleen, large intestine meridian; with heat and dampness, swelling and paralysis, remove moles, warts, moist skin effect.
According to analysis, in every 100 grams of soybean sprouts, containing 11.5 grams of protein, 2 grams of fat, 7.1 grams of sugar, 1 gram of crude fiber, calcium 68 milligrams, 102 milligrams of phosphorus, iron 1.8 milligrams of carotene 0.03 milligrams of carotenoids, vitamin B10.17 milligrams of vitamin B20.11 milligrams of vitamin B10.17 milligrams of vitamin B20.11 milligrams of vitamin B10.17 milligrams of vitamin B10.17 milligrams of vitamin B10.17 milligrams of vitamin B20.11 milligrams of vitamin C. According to research, soybeans in germination 4-12 days when the highest content of vitamin C, such as daily sunlight exposure of 2 hours a day at the same time, the content can be doubled. But should not be exposed to sunlight for too long, so as not to reduce the taste of bean sprouts become old.
Soybean sprouts also have a therapeutic effect on the spleen and stomach dampness, constipation, warts, high blood pressure. Chinese specialties soybean sprouts oil tofu
Recently scientific research results show that: soybean protein content is high, but due to its presence of trypsin inhibitors, so that its nutritional value is limited, so people advocate the consumption of soybean products. Soybean in the germination process, most of these substances are degraded and destroyed. Soybean sprouts protein utilization than soybeans to increase about 10%, in addition, soybeans contain can not be absorbed by the body, and easy to cause bloating cottonseed sugar, rhamnose, fructose and other oligosaccharides, in the process of germination in the sharp decline and even all disappear, which avoids the phenomenon of eating soybean bloating occurs. Soybeans in the germination process, due to the role of enzymes, more calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and other mineral elements are released, which in turn increases the utilization rate of soybean minerals in the human body. After soybean germination, in addition to vitamin C, carotene can increase 1-2 times, vitamin B2 increased 2-4 times, niacin increased more than 2 times, folic acid increased exponentially. Soybean sprouting aspartic acid increased dramatically, so people eat bean sprouts can reduce the accumulation of lactic acid in the body, eliminate fatigue. Bean sprouts also contain a substance called nitrophosphatase, which is effective in anti-epilepsy and reducing seizures. In recent years, it has been found that bean sprouts contain an interferon inducer, which can induce interferon and increase the body's ability to fight viruses and cancer tumors.?
Tofu is extremely rich in protein, consumed too much at once, not only impede the body's absorption of iron, but also prone to protein indigestion, bloating, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Under normal circumstances, people eat into the body of plant proteins, through metabolic changes, and finally most of the nitrogen-containing wastes, by the kidneys out of the body. When people reach old age, the ability of the kidneys to excrete waste decreases. At this time, if you do not pay attention to diet, eat a lot of tofu, intake of excessive plant protein, will inevitably make the body generate more nitrogen-containing wastes, will aggravate the burden on the kidneys, so that the kidney function to further decline, is not conducive to good health.
Tofu contains phytoestrogens, which can protect the endothelial cells of blood vessels from oxidative damage, often eaten to reduce the destruction of the vascular system, to prevent osteoporosis, breast cancer and prostate cancer, is the menopausal women's protector.
The rich soy lecithin is beneficial to the development and growth of nerves, blood vessels, and the brain.
? Tofu contains more purine, purine metabolism derangement of gout patients and patients with increased blood uric acid concentration should be eaten with caution. Tofu is cold, cold stomach, easy diarrhea, bloating of the spleen deficiency, or often have spermatozoa kidney loss should not be eaten. Recently, U.S. medical experts also pointed out that soy products are extremely rich in methionine, methionine in the role of enzymes can be converted to cysteine, the latter will damage the endothelial cells of the arterial wall, so that cholesterol and triglycerides are easy to deposit in the arterial wall, promoting the formation of atherosclerosis.
