With the global awareness of health and environmental protection increasing, more and more families are choosing a plant-based diet as a lifestyle. In today's society, plant-based eating is not only an ethical choice but is also revered for the health benefits it brings. This dietary pattern includes primarily vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds while excluding all meat, poultry, seafood, and other animal-derived products such as milk, cheese, and eggs. Research shows that a diet free of animal products can improve blood sugar control, promote digestive health, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. However, there are still certain controversies and questions in society surrounding whether this dietary approach is suitable for children's health and safety. A 2021 research paper published in the journal Nutrition Research provides a resounding answer. The study states that a well-planned vegan diet, combined with appropriate supplem...

Using soy protein isolate to make tofu

Soy protein isolate is a plant-based protein extracted from soybeans that has high purity, high nutritional value, and no cholesterol. ‌ It is a protein powder obtained from low-temperature desolubilized soybean meal as raw material and processed through a series of processes. Its protein content is more than 90%, it is rich in amino acid types, and contains essential amino acids for the human body. Soy protein isolate is not only nutritionally comparable to animal protein, but because it does not contain cholesterol, it is one of the few plant proteins that can replace animal protein. ‌ Soy protein isolate has a wide range of applications and can be used as a food additive to make baby food, sports drinks, instant products, etc. It also has various health benefits such as boosting immunity, promoting wound healing, lowering cholesterol, preventing osteoporosis, etc. In addition, soy protein isolate also has a unique role in food processing. For example, injectable soy protein isolate ...

  A plant-rich diet may help women slow down the biological aging process and effectively reduce chronic inflammation levels in the body, according to a new study. The study, conducted by Northern Arizona University, the Nutrition Research Foundation and epigenetics company TruDiagnostic, focused on the potential benefits of a "Nutritarian" diet. This eating pattern emphasizes foods rich in vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, such as vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds. The study looked at 48 women who followed a Nutritarian diet for more than five years and compared them with 49 women who ate a diet that focused on processed foods, red meat and high sugar and fat. Researchers used advanced DNA testing to track markers of aging and inflammation in the body and analyze the impact of these different dietary patterns on cellular health. Research results suggest that long-term adherence to such a plant-based diet may have a significant effect on slowing the aging process and c...

In fact, protein also has pros and cons. There are some small details that are worth noting when choosing protein-rich foods. Today, let ’ s talk about them . ■ Soy protein The protein content of soybeans is between 36% and 40%, and the protein content of soybeans per 100 grams is about 35.0 grams. Its amino acid composition is also relatively reasonable, and its utilization rate in the body is high. It is a very good source of protein among plant proteins. Dried tofu, tofu brain, and soy milk are all good choices for sources of soy protein. Now the Isolated Soy Protein(90% protein) and Soy Protein Concentrate(65% protein) are also the better options. ■Egg protein Eggs contain 11%-14% protein a...
