Why Phytonutrients Rich Soy Products are Good For You


A healthier diet is very much in the news these days, given such
initiatives as Jamie Oliver's campaign to change the eating habits
of our younger generation.

Not an easy task as adults like us need
to be educated as well.
There has also been much fascinating debate about the healthier
diets of China and Japan, as compared to the U.K and U.S.

A. In this
article I would like to focus on the rise of phytonutrient rich,
soy based health drinks which originate from the Far East.
It is an unique formulation which involved scientists and
nutritionists.It is rich in phytonutrients a naturally occuring
plant compounds similar to human oestrogens (hormones the body
producesfor growth and development and good health).


Oestrogens are essential for female reproductive system as well
as the bones,heart and brain.
Phytonutrients also serve as anti-oxidants which are important
for promoting general health.
There is scientific evidence that populations lacking in
sufficient dietary phytonutrientsare more suceptible to a number of
health problems such as cardiovascular disease and cancer, than
people primarily from the East that have a diet rich in them.
This product attains phytonutrients through three of it's
ingredients: soy protein, soy germ extract, and lutein.


This product is rich in isoflavones. Postmenopausal women are at
risk from oestrogen deficiency i.e cardiovascular disease and
osteoporosis.
Isoflavones are a class of phytonutrients shown to decrease risk
of developing these conditions and reduce number of symptoms
associated with menopause such as hot flushes.


There is significant evidence for the consumption of soy to be
recommended.
It reduces frequency and intensity of hot flushes. it helps
fight effect of osteoporosis associated with the menopause.
This health drink attains isoflavones through two of it's
ingredients: soy protein and soy germ extract.


It is rich in antioxidants:
Free radicals are deliberately made by the cells of our immune
system in order to destroy bacteria and viruses. However levels can
be increased by unhealthy lifestyles and diet, which then become a
threat to our health.
Antioxidants protect the body against the efects of oxidation
and help neutralise any excess of free radicals in the body.
The antioxidant defence system limits free radicals from:
*contributing to the formation of blood clots (thrombosis),
which can in turn increase the risk of heart attack or stroke over
time.


*damaging DNA, which may lead to cancer.
*suppresing the immune system.
*impairing cell function.
*defending against all these effects may slow the progression of
chronic disease and aging.


This product fights against cardiovascular disease
Soy protein like animal protein contains all the essential amino
acids. However in Asian populations where soy is a dietary staple
the incidence of coronary heart disease and heart attacks is lower
than in countries such as the USA.
The evidence for soy protein has convinced the British and
American heart Association to encourage the consumption of soy as
part of a healthy diet low in saturates and cholesterol.
Protective role against cancer
Epidemiological studies have shown a significant difference in
cancer incidence among different ethnic groups (higher in western
countries than eastern countries).

it is believed to be partly due
to the protective role provided through soy intake.
Clinical trials are encouraging indicating that higher intake of
phytoestrogens, particularly isoflavones have been associated with
reduction in the risk of developing breast cancer, endometrial
cancer, prostate cancer and stomach cancer.
Eye and Skin health
Lutein is primarily found in red,yellow,orange and green fruits
and vegetables but unfortunately we do not eat enough of these. one
of lutein's primary functions is to provide protection against
oxidative and free radical damage.


The highest concentrations of lutein are found within the ocular
tissue(the eye) but it is also found in the skin,breast and
cervical tissues. However levels of lutein in the body are entirely
controlled by dietary choice.
Lutein in the body is vital because:
*it protects against free radical damage to the retina.
*lutein is associated with a lower risk of cataract.


*it benefits the heart.
*there is alink between lutein consumption and prevention of
certain cancers(stomach,oesophagus,lung,oral cavity and
pharynx,endometrium,pancreas and colon).
*it contributes to lower rates of coronary heart disease or
stroke.
*it counteracts and prevents UVR- induced photo-damage and
erythema (inflammation of the skin).


This health drink is also low in fat and carbohydrates whilst
being high in protein. Therefore it is an ideal complement to a
calorie controlled diet.
Conclusion
It is of general opinion that the public would definetly benefit
from a greater intake of soy,soy germ extract and lutein in their
daily diets to promote improved heart,eye,skin and general
health.
One of the leading products in this field is a health drink
called TianTian produced by a company called Ecoflow.
