What Makes Soy So Good For Me?
Did you know that soy is a natural hormone balancer? Soy acts like a kinder and gentler natural source of estrogen in women and increases a person’s HDL cholesterol ( the so-called “good cholesterol”). The higher the HDL cholesterol the lower the risk of heart attacks.

A growing body of evidence shows that the humble legume’s beneficial component is the isoflavones. Experts say 30 to 50 milligrams of isoflavones a day is a sensible goal, so make sure the form of soy you are eating contains isoflavones. The alcohol extraction of soy protein concentrates and isolates used in some products can remove as much as 90% of the isoflavones.
 
How Can I Begin to Incorporate Soy in My Diet?
Start by shopping around for a soy food or beverage you like, then pick it up every time you buy groceries and make it a part of your weekly routine.

Try filling your flour jar with soy. You can substitute soy flour for one-third of wheat flour in recipes. (See Soyberry Muffins recipe.)

Try snacking on dry-roasted soy nuts. They make a wonderful snack and save you 23 calories and 3 grams of fat compared to potato chips.

Doctors recommend eating one serving of soy a day. One serving equals ˝ cup of tempeh, 1 cup of soymilk, 3 tablespoons of roasted soybeans, or a soy protein bar. It only takes one serving a day to make a difference!
