Soy Beans
- In research, the consumption of soy beans is now being associated with reduced rates of breast cancer.
- Findings may be related to the presence of isoflavone compounds that are mildly oestrogenic and anti- carcinogenic.
- Soy bean products contain several anti-cancer compounds including phyto-oestrogen.
The effects
of soya consumption on circulating hormones was measured in premenopausal
women. Results concluded that consumption of soya diets containing
phyto-oestrogens may decrease the risk
of breast cancer.
Soy beans
can be eaten in their whole form or as tofu or tempeh, two delicious soy-based
dishes. The best place to buy soya products that are not genetically modified
is your health store. Look for soya products that are certified organic.
Mung Beans
Mung beans are
green and are a popular sprouting bean. They reduce water retention and have
been shown to lower high blood pressure. Mung beans tone the blood and contain
compounds which aid the organs’ detoxifying processes.
