Boosting Nutrition with Soy
Whether your patients are facing specific health concerns or are simply interested in maintaining optimal wellness, soyfoods are a nutritional powerhouse.
For an increasing number of aging consumers who are looking to add healthy foods to their diet, soyfoods are excellent choices. They are high in polyunsaturated fat, low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free.
In addition, the quality of soy protein is equal to that of animal protein. Also, soyfoods are rich in vitamins and minerals including folate and potassium and, in some cases, fiber. Soybeans are also one of the few good plant sources of essential omega-3 fatty acids. And, with a variety of forms such as soymilk, tofu, edamame (whole green soybeans), soy yogurt, soy nuts, and soy flour, it has never been easier to reap the health benefits of soy.
