One of the world's top cancer
researchers says he drinks three
glasses of soy milk every day.
Why? He knows a secret passed
down through the ages: Soy is a
super food providing incredible
health benefits.
The Chinese discovered the
health benefits of soy about
6,000 years ago. And modern
research confirms what the
ancients knew. A diet rich in
soy may lower the risk of heart
disease, osteoporosis - even
cancer. This may explain why
Asians, with diets typically rich
in soy, tend to have lower rates
of these diseases than Americans
and Europeans.
Want to enjoy the health
benefits of soy? It's easier than
you might think! Here are a few
of our favorite ways to get soy
into your diet:
Snack on dry roasted soy nuts as
an alternative to peanuts.
Drink a glass of soy milk
(regular or chocolate) every day.
Be adventurous: Try tofu next
time you are at an Asian
restaurant.
Eat veggie burgers and other
vegetarian foods made with soy
protein.
Look for protein bars made with
soy protein.
Try soy crisps (available at health
food stores) as an alternative to
potato chips.
