Soy to your health!

There’s been a lot of talk and discussion as soy products continue to grow. Is soy as good for you as some say it is? Cancer fighting and bone strengthening? Despite the uncertainty of all of soy’s benefits, there is some truth that makes this product stand out from the rest.

Soy is a great way to get high protein without much saturated fat. Vegetarians have been relying on soy for years, while others are just becoming in tune to it. Keeping up with protein keeps your body moving and gives you energy throughout the day. Soy’s low fat approach to pumping in protein is great for those who are looking for more protein in their diet (the more active you are, the more protein you should be eating) without giving up on finding a healthy way to do so.

Here’s a few good tips when it comes to picking out soy products-

Soy Milk- Look for soy milk that is calcium fortified and you’ll hit 20%-40% of your daily recommended allowance.

Unprocessed- Just like any other food; find soy products that haven’t been heavily processed. Going for more organic soy products like tofu or miso cuts out most of the added sugars and cholesterol found in soy energy bars or soy sausages.

Beans- Soy beans are a great and easy way to get your soy in for the day. Edamames (ed-a-mommys) are soybeans that go great with soups, salads and pasta. They’re very easy to cook up and can be found at most grocery stores in the frozen food section.
