Is tofu healthy?

Soybeans include soybeans, black beans, green beans and two-color beans, among which soybeans are the most common. Bean products made from soybeans are also delicious food on the table of ordinary people. But not all soy products are safe to eat. There is such a bean product, which is delicious, but it can also stimulate appetite for breakfast. However, the salt content of this bean product is really too high, and it has been included in the diet taboo.

When I was reading the content just now, I turned to the content of an authoritative organization. The title is particularly attractive at first glance? People who like to eat fermented bean curd, congratulations, five benefits, automatically come to your door? . It is described in the article that drinking tofu milk regularly can lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, prevent Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis and cancer.

For tofu milk, the article of this institution is rendered. It's just that netizens don't buy it, and one netizen's comment is also very incisive? So salty can lower blood pressure? ? This netizen said the characteristics of tofu milk in one sentence. Although the raw material of tofu is soybean, protein is also a high-quality protein. Moreover, after fermentation, the contents of B vitamins and casein will increase, and these nutrients also improve the nutritional value of tofu milk to some extent.

However, the biggest feature of tofu milk is that it tastes salty, because the salt content of tofu milk is relatively high. Eating a piece of bean curd is equivalent to eating 3 grams of salt. When other diets remain unchanged, after eating tofu milk, the daily salt intake will exceed the standard. Eating tofu milk regularly will undoubtedly increase the daily intake of salt, leading to long-term excessive salt intake.

Excessive salt intake will increase the risk of hypertension, which is also the main risk factor of hypertension in China. Eating tofu milk regularly is not only difficult to lower blood pressure, but also aggravates the condition of patients with hypertension and increases the risk of stroke. This is undoubtedly worse for patients with hypertension, and it is more difficult to control blood pressure.

Excessive salt intake can also increase the risk of osteoporosis. Eating too much salt requires drinking water to promote the excretion of sodium ions. In the process of sodium ion excretion, the calcium reabsorption capacity of renal tubules will also decrease, and some calcium will be excreted with sodium ions. Severe loss of calcium will increase the risk of osteoporosis.

Soybean has the reputation of growing meat in the soil, and its protein is high-quality protein, and it also contains soybean isoflavones, soybean lecithin and other nutrients. Moreover, bean products do not contain cholesterol, and the phytosterol contained in them has an inhibitory effect on cholesterol. China Nutrition Society also recommends eating a certain amount of bean products every day. Dried tofu and tofu can also supplement calcium.

Although tofu milk tastes high, it is not suitable for regular consumption. If you don't like tofu milk, you don't have to drink it. For friends who like tofu milk, it is ok to eat it occasionally, and try not to eat it often. For tofu milk, you can not eat it or try not to eat it. Can be replaced by other bean products, such as tofu, dried tofu, tofu skin and so on. The edible value of these bean products is much higher than that of tofu milk.
