Is eating too much tofu good for your health?

Although tofu is good, eating too much has disadvantages, and eating too much will also endanger health. \x0d\ Question 1: Cause indigestion: Tofu is rich in protein. Eating too much at a time not only hinders the absorption of iron, but also easily leads to protein's indigestion, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms. \x0d\ Question 2: Promoting the decline of renal function: Under normal circumstances, protein, a plant that people eat in the body, undergoes metabolic changes, and most of it becomes nitrogen-containing waste, which is excreted by the kidneys. When people get old, the ability of the kidneys to excrete waste decreases. At this time, if people don't pay attention to diet, eat a lot of tofu and take in too much plant protein, it will inevitably increase the nitrogen-containing waste produced in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and further reduce the renal function, which is not conducive to health. \x0d\ Question 3: Promoting the formation of arteriosclerosis: American medical experts pointed out that soy products are rich in methionine, which can be converted into cysteine under the action of enzymes. Cysteine can damage endothelial cells of arterial wall, and it is easy to deposit cholesterol and triglyceride on arterial wall, thus promoting the formation of arteriosclerosis. \x0d\ Question 4: Causing iodine deficiency: Soybeans used to make tofu contain a substance called saponin, which can not only prevent atherosclerosis, but also promote iodine excretion in human body. Long-term excessive consumption of tofu can easily lead to iodine deficiency, leading to iodine deficiency disorders. \x0d\ Question 5: Causing gout attacks: Tofu contains more purines, and gout patients with abnormal purine metabolism and patients with elevated blood uric acid concentration are prone to gout attacks, especially those with gout should eat less. \x0d\ It can be seen that tofu is good, but it should not be eaten every day, nor should it be eaten in excess at one time. The elderly and patients with kidney disease, iron deficiency anemia, gout and arteriosclerosis should control their diet. Chinese medicine believes that people with cold tofu and stomach, who are prone to diarrhea, bloating, and frequent nocturnal emission due to spleen deficiency and kidney deficiency should not eat more.
