What are the benefits of screening beans?
Bean products are recognized as good nutrition. Through research, it is found that middle-aged and elderly people often eat soy products, which can not only supplement nutrition, but also play an unexpected role in disease prevention.
Prevention of prostate cancer: Studies have shown that the incidence of prostate cancer is related to the decrease of hormone levels in elderly men. Bean products are rich in plant hormones and have the function of regulating human hormone levels. Eating tofu and dried beans every day or often has a positive effect on preventing prostate cancer.
Anti-gastric cancer: soybean milk, tofu, dried tofu, etc. They are all low-fat and high-protein foods. Protein can buffer the pH in the stomach, reduce the formation of nitrosamines, increase the secretion of gastric mucosa, reduce the contact between carcinogens and gastric mucosa, improve the repair ability of gastric tissue, and thus reduce the occurrence of gastric cancer.
Anti-arteriosclerosis: Soybean contains a lot of unsaturated fatty acid-linoleic acid, which has the function of lowering blood cholesterol. Lipid peroxide in human body is the pathogenic factor of arteriosclerosis. Soybean saponin in soybean can promote fat decomposition, inhibit the synthesis and absorption of excess fat, and prevent the generation of oxidized lipid in the body. Therefore, eating more soy products can enhance blood vessel elasticity and prevent arteriosclerosis.
Prevention of Alzheimer's disease: Lecithin rich in bean products is an important component of human cell membrane, which can lower blood cholesterol, lower blood pressure and prevent aging. Douchi is a common bean product. An American nutritionist declared: "Eating lobster sauce often can prevent Alzheimer's disease." Because his research found that Douchi contains a lot of urokinase which can dissolve thrombus, and also contains some bacteria which can produce a lot of B vitamins and antibiotics, and the main cause of Alzheimer's disease is the formation of cerebral vascular thrombosis. The expert also advocated that Americans should learn from China and eat more lobster sauce in their daily diet.
