Benefits of Dietary Beans
It is safe to say that soybeans are a member of the family of vegetables
and fruits in the kitchen. Soybeans have been a staple of Indian cuisine for
thousands of years. Soybeans and their foods are especially popular with
vegetarians. This is evident from their high quality. Soybeans contain protein
and fiber. It also takes less time to prepare soybean meals.
Soybeans and Cardiovascular
Research on soybeans has been found to have
cardiovascular benefits. In the results of repeated research, whole-food
soybeans have been shown to have cardiovascular benefits.
The most consistent effect of soybean
consumption on blood fats is lower LDL cholesterol. Some studies show other
positive effects on blood fats, such as lowering triglycerides and lowering
total cholesterol or raising HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol).
Soysponins are soy phytonutrients that
are important to researchers in terms of their cardiovascular benefits. There
is some evidence that, according to most animal studies, saponin can reduce
lipid peroxidation in blood vessels, reduce the absorption of cholesterol from
the GI tract, and increase the excretion of fecal-bile acids. All of these
events will help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Soybeans and Cancer Prevention
The field of cancer prevention is one of
the most controversial areas of health research on soybeans. Many studies
provide evidence that supports the role of whole soy foods in cancer prevention
diets. Genistein (an isoflavone phytonutrient in soy) is the main focus in
cancer-prevention studies. This soy can enhance the action of a tumor
suppressor protein called isoflavone p53. When P53 is more active, it helps to
reduce the number of cells in cancer cells and also helps in cell cycle
attrition (helping to stop ongoing cancer cell activity). Genistein also
inhibits the action of protein kinases in this way.
Whole beans should be selected in the
diet when choosing soybeans. Whole soy has more cancer prevention potential
than processed soybeans.
Experts believe that soy foods can
provide you with significant health benefits, including anti-cancer benefits.
But people who want to include soy in their cancer prevention diet need to pay
attention to the nature of the soy, the amount consumed, their personal health
history, and in some cases the advice of their health care provider.
Eating soy reduces the risk of breast
cancer. Studies show that a diet rich in soy foods reduces the risk of breast
cancer in women. This is an effective protective measure for women who eat soy
or start eating soy later in life. Soy contains protein, isoflavones, and fiber,
which provide health benefits.
It was once thought that soy foods
increase the risk of breast cancer. However, moderate consumption of soy does
not increase the risk of breast cancer or other types of cancer. Whole soy
foods like tofu, soy milk, and edamame should be taken in moderation once a day.
Based on all this information, our
recommendations to you are as follows: First, if you have a family history of
hormone-related cancer, such as breast cancer, we recommend that you consult
your healthcare provider before consuming large quantities of soy. Talk to your
doctor or dietitian before taking supplements.
Soybeans and Bone Health
The area of soy and bone health has
remained as controversial as the anti-cancer area due to the large amount of
composite evidence found in human studies on soy and bone health. Numerous
studies have shown that eating soy improves bone health.
Soy foods are more useful for supporting
bones (for example, in the depletion of minerals from the bone) to support the
individual metabolism and the parallel conversion of intestinal microorganisms
to diene. There is also evidence that this whole process may be subject to
some level of genetic regulation.
Overall soy foods can provide you with
significant health benefits, including bone-related benefits. It is important
to remember that soybeans provide a lot of essential vitamin K for bone health.
According to studies, plant proteins are more advanced in bone support than
animal proteins.
Soybeans and Obesity
Soybeans are high in protein. Protein
helps reduce appetite. Numerous studies in animals and humans have shown that
soy protein intake reduces body weight and fat in addition to lowering plasma
cholesterol and triglycerides.
Protein is an important component of soybeans and dietary soybeans
provide abundant protein. Among dietary proteins, soy protein is considered a
whole protein that contains all the essential amino acids and many other
biological values. Soy protein is different from plant-based proteins in that
it is related to isoflavones, with a variety of biological properties that can
benefit human health.
Soybeans and type 2 Diabetes
Another important health benefit of
soybeans is the prevention of type 2 diabetes. In several animal studies, soy
substances have been shown to reduce insulin resistance by increasing the
synthesis of insulin receptors. However, this increased production of insulin
receptors is only seen in other dietary conditions, such as moderate amounts of
polyunsaturated fat. High doses of total soy (approximately 200 grams per day)
are also associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, but so far only in
Asians. Expect more research into human consumption of soy and the prevention
of acute health problems related to insulin metabolism and blood sugar levels.
Soybeans and Vitamin K
Soybeans are known to be a good source
of vitamin K. Vitamin K can be found in large quantities in fermented soy
foods. By far the most famous microorganism used in soybean fermentation is
cozy mold. Cozy mold is the key to many unique properties of soy paste, as well
as soy miso and soy sauce. Soybeans fermented with Bacillus bacteria are
associated with growth. One of the attractions of Bacillus-fermented soy is the
potential for these bacteria to survive in your lower intestine after eating
it.
Public Health Recommendations
Many public
health organizations, including the American Diabetes Association, the American
Heart Association, and the American Cancer Society, recommend soybeans as a
staple diet group to prevent disease and improve health.
