Soybean milk or tofu, which has higher nutritional value?

The nutritional value of soybean milk is higher. Traditional Chinese medicine has long affirmed the health care function of soybean milk. It is considered that soybean milk is mild in nature and has the effects of tonifying deficiency, moistening dryness, clearing away lung heat and resolving phlegm. Modern medical research believes that drinking soybean milk for middle-aged and elderly women has obvious benefits for health and delaying aging.

Soymilk contains oxidants, minerals and vitamins, and also contains a phytoestrogen "daidzein" that milk does not have, which can regulate the function of female endocrine system. Women who drink soybean milk for a month, 300-500ml a day, can regulate endocrine and obviously improve their mentality and physical quality.

Clinically, it is also found that drinking soybean milk often can effectively prevent breast cancer and uterine cancer. The researchers asked the women who participated in the experiment to drink 400 ml of soybean milk every day for two months, and measured their estrogen levels during and after drinking soybean milk.

The results show that drinking soybean milk every day can regulate the level of estrogen and progesterone in women, keep the secretion cycle normal, and effectively prevent the occurrence of breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer. The researchers also believe that soybean milk has a unique health care function for women, and its benefits are significantly higher than those of men. Women who often drink soy milk look very young.

Extended data:

1, fresh soybean milk and hypertension

Peptidase is an active substance that can inhibit vascular tension and is the first choice for the treatment of hypertension at present. It is found that three short peptide fragments in soybean protein can inhibit the activity of angiotensinogen, and soybean protein has potential antihypertensive function.

2. Fresh soybean milk and kidney diseases

Studies have shown that replacing animal protein with soybean protein in the diet of patients with nephropathy has the same effect as completely controlling the intake of protein, which can reduce the water pressure and workload of renal filtration tissue and reduce the loss of beneficial components in blood (such as protein) from urine.

3. Fresh soybean milk and osteoporosis

People's bones are at a high metabolic level, and some calcium is excreted with urine every day. Therefore, reducing urinary calcium loss is more important than calcium intake. The results showed that when the dietary protein was protein, the daily urinary calcium loss was 150mg, while when the dietary protein was protein, the urinary calcium loss was only 103mg. In addition, soybean isoflavone can inhibit bone calcium loss and promote bone health. Therefore, drinking fresh soybean milk often is very beneficial to prevent homogenization and loosening.
