7 Health Benefits With Soy Protein

In the early 70's I moved with my family into a little farming town in Illinois named St. Joseph. We were near the college towns of Champaign and Urbana. There was a soybean field not 50 feet outside my back door. That was the first time I had ever heard of soybean, and I had no idea what they were used for. In a few seconds you are going to read one "well kept secret"about the soybean that only those who are around a processing plant would know.

When soybeans are burned, there is a nasty smell! Despite the smell of a "burning" soybean field, the soy protein is becoming the staple ingredient in many of our 'daily-life' products.

This amazing soybean contains all the amino acids essential to our nutrition, and these amino acids must be absorbed through our diet where they are utilized by the human body. I am about to tell you why animal-based foods are being substituted by soy protein products.

Animal-based products have complete proteins but have more fat, especially saturated fat making the health benefits less appealing than soy.

Here's are 7 Health Benefits to Eating Soy Protein:

• It is an excellent source of high-quality protein. Many people add soybean to other dishes to increase the protein in their diets.
• The soybean is low in artery-clogging fat.
• It is rich in iron, zinc, and oft times calcium. That's why it is so perfect in protein bars.
• Some studies have shown that soy can actually lower cholesterol.
• Other studies had shown the value of this protein in reducing bone mineral loss.
• Many people also believe soy can be beneficial in helping women cope with varying symptoms of menopause.
• Soy protein products can be good substitutes for animal products because, unlike some other beans, soy offers a "complete" protein profile.
