Protein is the material basis of life and an important component of human tissue. All manifestations of life are essentially manifestations of protein functions, so life is inseparable from proteins.
We all know that protein plays an important role in maintaining good immunity.
Modern people’s eating habits allow us to obtain protein from more meat, but we also consume excessive amounts of cholesterol, saturated fat, and hormone and antibiotic residues. These are the side effects of modern breeding. Today, protein intake is still a problem in rural areas and small and medium-sized cities, while in big cities we must start to pay attention to the choice of protein “quality”.
Many chronic diseases are caused by food. For a long time, scientists have been working tirelessly to find foods or substances that are beneficial to health and prevent diseases. More and more research is focused on soy protein. Therefore, they suggest that it is best to eat both animal protein and plant protein. If soy protein can be used as the mainstay and animal protein as the supplement, cardiovascular health will be better guaranteed.
What is the difference between animal protein and soy protein?
Animal protein is rich in a variety of essential amino acids and is an important source of high-quality protein. However, animal protein food sources are also rich in fat and cholesterol, which is an important reason for the high incidence of various chronic diseases in modern people.
Soy protein is the only “complete protein” of plant origin. The so-called “complete protein” means that it can provide the human body with a comprehensive range of essential amino acids, and the ratio of these amino acids is also in a well-balanced state, which can meet the health needs of the human body.
Soy flour: Made from grinding full-fat soybean meal into powder. Soy flour is the least refined of the three main soy protein ingredients.
Soy protein concentrate: is a processed product that removes most of the sugar but retains most of the soy fiber. The processing of soy protein concentrate affects the retention of many of its bioactive components.
Soy protein isolate: It is the best way to retain the healthy active ingredients of soy in soy protein processing. Soy protein isolate separated by special technology has a complete range of amino acids, and has removed protein-inhibiting factors, purine and other soybean components that are not conducive to absorption and health. The biological potency is the same as eggs and milk, and the quality is better than beef. Soy protein isolate is the most essential part of the protein processing process.
Health effects of soy protein isolate:
Helps lower cholesterol when combined with a low-fat diet
Consistent consumption may help reduce the risk of certain cancers
Has unique sports nutrition value
A healthy food for athletes and dieters
Promote calcium absorption and utilization and improve bone health
Transport nutrients and balance endocrine
