Soy protein is emerging as one of the great alternative
protein sources for human consumption. Health experts are all
excited about how soy protein can change the face of nutrition.
What’s all the rage? Here are some great reasons to get with
soy protein.
Soy Protein is Plant Protein
Soy beans contain complete protein and have one of the best
protein digestibilities among all protein sources. Soy beans
also contain little or no fat and have virtually no
cholesterol. Lactose intolerant ones will be pleased to know
that soy beans contain no lactose.
Being a plant protein, soy is free from steroids and
antibiotics animal protein contains. It is also free from the
parasites that contaminate some of these products. They also
contain none of the diseases one can contract from mean sources
such as Mad Cow Disease, and Foot and Mouth Disease.
Vegetarians love this bean as it provides a comparable – if
not better – source of protein as compared to its animal
counterpart. It provides a protein that is better and easier to
digest and is comparable to most protein supplements.
Soy Beans are Very Versatile
Soy beans are very versatile. Various cuisines, especially
Asian ones recognize the value of the humble soy bean. A
variety of naturally yummy delicacies are all soy based: tofu,
soy pudding, Soya milk, and meat substitutes – not to mention
condiments such as soy sauce, and hoi sin sauce.
To counter the problem of world hunger, the growing of
soybeans has been suggested. Not only are soybeans easy to grow
and harvest, they will grow pretty much anywhere and produces
much in a little time. There have been farmers reported to have
replaced their entire crop line with soy bean plants. These
hardy little plants produce much per harvest, and, as said
earlier, can grow in even the most trying terrain.
The Great Substitute
Soy is low in fat and can be used to substitute most protein
sources. When cooking, you may use soy substitutes instead of
flour for a low fat alternative. This makes it a great protein
source for those that are looking to lose weight without
compromising their protein requirements.
Bodybuilders are considering how this can make their jobs a
lot easier. Without the fat and with all the protein goodness –
easily digestible at that – bodybuilding has just received a
great blessing of a food.
Although these bodybuilders are currently debating how soy
can be a help to bodybuilders, it doesn’t take away anything
from what soy can contribute to the overall health of a
person.
It is very advisable to stick to natural protein rather than
processes protein if possible, as processed foods typically
have some risk attached to them. The best use of this food can
be attributed to how it perfectly fits into anyone’s low-fat,
high-protein diet.
Soy products can be incorporated into shakes and drinks. And
being lactose-free, lactose intolerant people will still be
able to get their milkshake fix without having to suffer
so.
Soy products are also a great source of other nutrients such
as saponins, isoflavones, and phytosterol. Saponins help
support a healthy immune system. It also combines with
cholesterol to avoid increased absorption of cholesterol in the
body. Phytosterols also help reduce the absorption of
cholesterol in the body in the same way saponins do.
Isoflavones are powerful antioxidants and prevent the
effects of free radicals in the body. They prevent many of the
signs of aging and have been known to help prevent cancer. This
alone makes soy a miracle protein source in its own right.
Isoflavones, along with vitamins A,C, and E are among the
front liners in the fight against such disease – they also
counter the effects of pollution, and stress.
How Much is Too Much
Unlike other protein sources, it is pretty safe to consume a
wide amount of soy products. While allergies to soy products
exist, cases are few and far between. When changing to a soy
diet, however, it would be best to consult your physician or
your nutritionist. Ask specifically if the soy interferes with
any prescription drugs you are taking.
Soy can be great blessing for people who are looking for a
great source of protein that does not entail the side effects
of most of the other sources. It would be advisable for one to
explore how it can improve one’s diet.
