I'm in love with mr bean's soy products recently and have been taking them almost everyday for two weeks! :DMy personal favorite used to be the almond soya milk but now it's definitely the soya ice-cream. The taste is simply divine!
Soy has such great health benefits that even DC has no objections to my obsession with them! His only comment is that it's best that I order only the unsweetened soy milk...
Oh yes! My sis used to make soy milk for us years back. Maybe I can ask her for the recipe and make them myself instead of buying! Hehe...
Here is a list of soy's properties and how they can positively affect you:
1. Soy's protein and isoflavones lower LDL (the bad) cholesterol and decrease blood clotting (thrombosis), which reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.
2. Soy's protein and isoflavones provide antioxidants, reduce artery clogging plaque, improve blood pressure and promote healthy blood vessels, which protects the body from free radical damage, boosts the immune system, and lowers the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), heart disease, and hypertension (high blood pressure).
3. Soy's soluble fiber protects the body from many digestive related cancers, such as colon and rectal cancer. Its isoflavones may protect the body from many hormone-related cancers, like breast, endometrial (uterine) and prostate cancer.
4. Soy's protein enhances the body's ability to retain and better absorb calcium in the bones. Its isoflavones slow bone loss and inhibit bone breakdown, which helps prevent osteoporosis.
5. Soy's isoflavones help the body regulate estrogen when this hormone is declining or fluctuating, which helps alleviate many menopausal and PMS symptoms.
6. Soy's protein and soluble fiber help regulate glucose levels and kidney filtration, which helps control diabetic conditions and kidney disease.
