Most of the time we don’t eat soybeans unless we’re eating tofu, which is often seen as a food that’s usually only eaten by vegetarians. But whether your a herbivore or an omnivore, soybeans should be cownsidered as a food to be eating daily, plenty of the time in their natural bean form. Seeing just how many health benefit that they have, it’s a shock that their not treated as a health-food more often. So, without further ado, here are 5 reasons why soybeans can be tasty, satisfying and extremely healthy, all at the same time.
- Soybeans for younger looking skin
While there’s already many, many methods and foods that that help keep your skin looking and feeling young, soybeans is definitely somewhere near the top. Because of it’s high Vitamin E content, it helps smooth out the skin in many different natural ways, making you look a heck of a lot younger than normal.
- Soybean oil for shiny hair
There are tons of essential nutrients that soybeans and soybean oil have for protecting and smoothing out your, glossing it over and making look shiny and new. Plus it also stimulates new hair growth, because of all the good stuff that it contains, it’s often used as a key ingredient in hair conditioner and shampoo. Seriously, the proteins and the other nutrients in these little soybeans are incredible and just add to the already long list of health benefits that you get when you eat them regularly
- Soybeans have a lot of Omega 3 fatty acids
Oooooooomega 3s! These guys are really great, they stimulate our brain, take care of our entire internal system and all in all, help keep us healthy. You’ve probably heard that there’s a lot of fish that have a good amount Omega 3 fatty acids in them and you may also be wondering why we’re suggesting soybeans for this purpose instead. Well, dear reader, the reason for this is because, while yes it’s true that a lot of fish have a lot of Omega 3s, it’s also true that a single serving of soybeans actually has a fair amount more than that.
- Soybeans help you get your daily nutrition quicker and easier
Soybeans are high in quality protein, this particular protein can make you feel fuller for a long period of time, helping out with weight loss and making it so that you don’t overdo it on your recommended daily nutritional values. Just a half cup of soybeans also contain a fifth of our daily recommended intake of fiber, so your already making a big stab at that number, with just a few soybeans. There are other numbers, but those are by far the most important.
- Soybeans prevent prostate cancer
Studies have shown that soybeans and soy in general help men avoid getting prostate cancer, the reason for this is that soybeans have a fair amount of something called phytoestrogen, which helps reduce the body’s testosterone production (which is widely thought to be the leading cause of prostate cancer) reducing the risk of prostate cancer overall and giving you some peace of mind as well.
