As the saying goes: "Green bean curd is safe and safe." The health care function of tofu has been documented in many Chinese medicine books: tofu, sweet and cool, with the effect of Qi and the detoxification of Sheng Jin and Sheng Jin. Modern scientific research shows that 40% of the nutrients in tofu are proteins, 25% are carbohydrates, 20% are oils, and polyunsaturated fatty acids are as high as 61%, plus various minerals, vitamins, and nutrients are not Lose meat and cholesterol. While acknowledging the nutritional value of tofu, we must also be alert to the harm caused by excessive consumption of the body. Tofu, but a "double-sided faction" Oh.
Tofu's "first face" - "anti-cancer star"
In the past 10 years, many studies have found that the incidence of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer in Orientals is only 1/4 that of Westerners. Researchers believe that Orientals like to eat tofu is one of the reasons because soy protein contains high amounts of isoflavones (an antioxidant). Doctors recommend eating 100 grams to 150 grams of tofu a day, and then drinking a cup of 240 milliliters of soy milk, you can ingest 30 mg to 50 mg of isoflavones to protect your body. In addition to preventing cancer, eating tofu can also lower blood cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease and prevent Alzheimer's disease. Recent studies have found that the concentration of lecithin in the brain tissue of Alzheimer's patients has decreased. Therefore, it is speculated that Alzheimer's disease may be related to the lack of lecithin. One of the best sources of lecithin is soy.
Tofu's "second face" - excessive consumption detrimental to health
Although tofu is good, overdose can also be harmful to health. In elderly patients and patients with kidney disease, iron deficiency anemia, and gout, it is necessary to control the amount of food consumed.
Chinese medicine believes that tofu is cold, cold stomach and easy diarrhea, abdominal distension, spleen deficiency and kidney failure often appear spermatorrhea should not eat. Tofu contains extremely rich in protein, and eating too much at a time not only hinders the body's absorption of iron, but also easily causes protein indigestion and bloating and diarrhea. Under normal circumstances, people's intake of plant proteins undergoes metabolic changes, and most of them become nitrogenous wastes and are excreted by the kidneys. When people reach the old age, the ability of the kidneys to excrete waste decreases. At this time, if you do not pay attention to the diet and consume large amounts of tofu, excessive intake of plant protein will inevitably increase the amount of nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, thereby increasing the burden on the kidney and making the kidneys. Further decline in function is not conducive to good health. The soybeans that make tofu contain a substance called saponin that not only prevents atherosclerosis, but also promotes the excretion of iodine in the body. Therefore, long-term excessive consumption of tofu can easily cause iodine deficiency, leading to iodine deficiency disorders. Tofu contains more purines, patients with gout abnormal metabolism and patients with elevated blood uric acid concentrations, if eat more tofu easily lead to gout attack.
