In addition to the vast array of benefits derived from the consumption of soy products, there is a steady stream of information indicating that soy has a powerful connection with the ability to lose weight. In other words, when soy consumption goes up, weight goes down. Soy protein has received a lot of attention for its ability to aid in weight loss and weight management. The overall key to weight management is finding the right balance between diet and exercise, and studies suggest that soy protein may be an important part of the process! Check out the article by Margaret Furtado, M.S., R.D. on the benefits of soy at http://health.yahoo.com/experts/weightloss/12/soy-and-weight-loss-hype-or-hope/ Research confirms the importance of a diet that includes plant protein, such as soy, as it may be a significant factor in controlling caloric intake. Protein makes you feel full, or increases your state of satiety, for longer than if you ate mostly carbohydrates. The feeling of being full can lead to eating fewer calories during the day! Soy foods have fewer calories, less fat and more protein than many other sources of protein. Therefore, top-quality, lean protein from soy foods can aid in weight control and limit the craving for more food! The importance of these findings cannot be understated in the midst of a society where obesity has become an epidemic of vast proportion. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agricultureadvocate selecting lean sources of protein and eating foods that are higher in potassium, calcium, magnesium, and other essential vitamins and nutrients, but lower in saturated fat and cholesterol. Soy foods can help Americans meet these dietary goals. Soy protein is not only low in fat, it is cholesterol free. So avoid eating too much, increase your physical activity, and choose a proper diet complete with a variety of delicious soy food products. This balance and a healthy lifestyle will help you maintain proper body weight and reduce stress, not to mention a whole host of other benefits that come from a health-conscious lifestyle!

 Take a look at these startling statistics! In the USA we have:
In the past 30 years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased to epidemic proportions! So what’s the problem? While careful not to oversimplify a very complicated issue, there is a simple answer for those who are willing. The good news is that there is hope for a better life. The most common causes of overweight and obesity is the lack of regular physical activity and a very poor diet, and it’s never too late to begin a program that can help you lose weight and live a longer, healthier life. Even better news is that soy protein can help with both! Soy protein has received a lot of attention for its ability to aid in weight loss and weight management. Research confirms the importance of a diet that includes plant protein, such as soy, as it may be a significant factor in controlling caloric intake. Protein makes you feel full, or increases your state of satiety, for longer than if you ate mostly carbohydrates. The feeling of being full can lead to eating fewer calories during the day! Soy foods have fewer calories, less fat and more protein than many other sources of protein. Therefore, top-quality, lean protein from soy foods can aid in weight control and limit the craving for more food! Overweight and obesity can contribute to a huge array of health problems including:
Despite these proven benefits of physical activity and proper diet, the vast majority (78%) do not meet basic activity levels to stay physically fit. Similarly, while research shows that good nutrition can help to lower people’s risk for many chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, some cancers, diabetes, and osteoporosis, the eating habits of the majority remain dismal at best. It is scientific and common knowledge that regular physical activity and a balanced, nutritional diet reduce people’s risk for these problems. It also helps to control weight; contributes to healthy bones, muscles, and joints; reduces falls among older adults; helps to relieve the pain of arthritis; reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression; and is associated with fewer hospitalizations, physician visits, and medications. Physical activity can improve physical function, and can provide benefits for people with high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, arthritis, lung disease, and other chronic diseases. In other words, it makes sense to exercise and eat right! Moreover, physical activity need not be strenuous to be beneficial. For example, adults of all ages benefit from moderate-intensity physical activity, such as 30 minutes of brisk walking most days of the week. Decide today to live a better, healthier life. Begin by taking advantage of the benefits of soy products to help you lose weight and increase your energy on the road to a better life! |
