• Soybeans are a complete plant-based protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids your body needs to build and repair tissues.
• Soybeans are low in saturated fat and contain unsaturated fats, including heart-healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Soy consumption may help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels and improve overall heart health.
• Soybeans are a good source of dietary fiber, which promotes gut health, regulates digestion, and can aid in weight management by keeping you feeling fuller for longer.
• Soybeans contain isoflavones, a type of plant compound with weak estrogen-like properties. Studies suggest that soy isoflavones may help improve bone mineral density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women .
• Soy isoflavones may also help alleviate symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats, although research findings are mixed.
