Soy products come from soybeans. Soybeans are vegetables that are grown in Asia and have been included in the Asian diet for centuries. This bean can be used in forms such as tofu, soymilk, soy flour, miso, and many others. What is unique about the soybean, when compared to other plant foods, is that its high protein content is equivalent to animal foods. Like meat, soy is considered to be a complete protein, meaning that it provides all the essential amino acids that your body needs but cannot produce on its own.

What does soy provide?

Not only is soy a good source of protein, it also provides many other beneficial nutrients. Soy contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are two healthy types of fat. In addition, soy can be an excellent source of folate, iron, calcium, vitamin D, zinc, insoluble fibre, phosphorus, copper, magnesium, manganese, and B vitamins.

Soy has been found to have many health benefits for both men and women. Among the many beneficial health effects, soy has been linked to reducing menopausal symptoms such as night sweats and hot flashes, in addition to lowering blood cholesterol levels, helping to reduce the risk of heart disease, and increasing bone density, thus offering protection against osteoporosis.
