Soy - Natural Benefits and Curative Properties
Description
The Soyabean is one of the most nutritious foods. It belongs to the family of
legumes or pulses and is perhaps one of the earliest crops cultivated by man. It
is one of the most important sources of oil and protein. The Soyabean is an
annual plant, up to 150 ems. in height. It has hairy, twining or climbing stems,
alternate leaves and hairy, grey, brown or black, pods, borne in clusters on
short stalks. Seeds are more or less round, with yellow, green, brown or black
color.
Soyabean is a food of great value
in the treatment of diabetes. The Journal of the American Medical Association
quotes from an authoritative German medical journal, an article by Doctor
Christian Becker. In this article, Dr. Becker points out that the soyabean is a
very valuable food in case of diabetes because bread made from it contains very
little starch, but is rich in fat protein, both of which are of most excellent
quality. Its usefulness diabetes is attributable not only to its richness in
protein and its palatability, but also to its ability to cause, in some
unexplained way, a reduction in the percentage and the total quantity of urinary
sugar in diabetes patients on the usual dietary restrictions.
The Soyabean is a native of the Far East. It has been an important food crop in
China. Manchuria and Korea long before the dawn of human history. It was first
referred to in a Chinese book written by Emperor Shennung of China as early as
2838 BC. It was given very great importance in China so much so that the Emperor
of the country to sow it every year with great pomp. It is now very popular crop
of the world over and is widely cultivated in the United States, Europe, South
Africa, Egypt, Russia, Australia and other countries. In recent years several
countries like Brazil, Mexico, Rumania, Paraguay and Argentina have
substantially increased their Soyabean production. India too has joined the
Soyabean race in its expansion programmer and there is growing awareness among
the consumers in the country of the potential uses of Soyabean.

There is no doubt that soy has a role in maintaining healthy bones and may even
help to prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women. However, it is still not
clear whether the benefits are due to its soy protein, or its isoflavones
daidzein and genistein, or the combination of them. The best approach is to
include soy foods such as tofu, tempeh, soy milk, edamame etc in your diet
instead of taking isolated soy supplements. Many brands of soy milk are now
fortified with calcium. Hence, one glass of fortified soy milk provides an
equivalent amount of calcium from a glass of cow's milk.
The Soyabean is particularly valued for its high protein content of great
biological value. Its protein is complete as it contains all the essential amino
acids or building blocks of protein in the proportions that make them most
available and most valuable for human needs. It is the best of all vegetable
proteins and ranks in this respect with protein of milk, eggs and meat. But
Soyabean contains by far more protein than these articles.
Natural
Benefits and Curative Properties of Soyabean
The Soyabean contains many medicinal virtues. While most of the proteins are
acid in their ash, Soyabean is rich in alkalinebearing salts and hence regarded
as a corrective diet. The Chinese, who consume Soyabeans liberally, believe that
it makes the body plump, improves the complexion, stimulates the growth and
removes constipation and many other physical ailments. Modem researches carried
out in the laboratories in Europe and America have corroborated much of these
claims.
Soyabean, especially in the form
of milk, is highly beneficial in the treatment of several ailments This milk is
prepared by soaking the beans in water for about 12 hours The skin of the beans
is then removed and after a through wash, they are turned into fine paste in a
grinding machine. The paste is mixed with water, three times its quantity. The
milk should then be boiled on a slow fire, stirring it frequently. After it
becomes a little cooler, it should be strained through a piece of thin cloth and
sugar be added to it.
Soyabean milk is at par in
importance with cow's milk in feeding children. Investigations have shown that
90 per cent of the Soyabean protein is absorbed in the body and 95 to 100
percent of the milk is digested. Soyabean milk is very helpful in maintaining
intestinal health. The Soyabean curd is a health food par excellence It is
better than Soyabean milk in taste and aroma and it very much resembles the
dairy curd The curd is prepared by allowing the milk to cool, then seeded with a
small quantity of cow's milk curd or Soyabean milk curd and allowed to remain
for 12 hours to set. Its regular use will help maintain the intestinal health,
prevent diseases arising from defective digestion and retard the ageing process.
One of the chief uses of
Soyabeans is as a source of lecithin, which is a great natural emulsifier.
Lecithin, as is well known helps disperse deposits of fatty materials and
cholesterol in certain vital organs. It is rich in substances which are
important for the proper functioning of all living cells in the body. It is also
an important component around brain and nerve cells. Lecithin is so abundant in
Soyabeans that most of the lecithin used commercially comes from them.
