PART 7 Shaklee's Energizing Soy Protein


Soy and Breast and Prostate Health

It has long been known that many soy-consuming Asian populations have better rates of breast and prostate health than do Western populations. There are many factors involved in prostate health, but a recent, large-scale population-health study suggests soy intake as one of those factors. In this study, men who reported frequently consuming soy milk (which contains isoflavones) were 70% more likely to maintain prostate health during a follow-up period, compared to the men who had little or no soy in their diet.
A recent population-health study conducted in China investigated the relationship between soy intake during adolescence and breast health later in life. After adjustments for known risk factors, higher soy food intakes reported during the teen years were associated with significantly better breast health when these women reached their pre- and postmenopausal adult years.9 Researchers believe that soy intake starting at a young age and continued throughout life is linked to maintaining breast health.
Another way that soy may promote heart, breast, and prostate health is by providing protection against oxidation damage. The soy isoflavone genistein has been shown to have antioxidant properties.1
NOTE: While the totality of evidence suggests health benefits for soy, scientific opinion is not uniform on the appropriate use of soy by women with a history of breast cancer. We recommend that women with this history discuss the option of soy intake with their physician.

Soy and Menopause

Cross-cultural studies of menopausal women have found that women in Japan experience a smoother transitional period than women in the West.11 Soy foods are commonly consumed in Asian countries, providing an estimated 25–45 mg of isoflavones per day for the average person.12
For the menopausal woman, soy has particular interest, as it is studied for both its apparent beneficial effect during menopause as well as for bone-building and helping to retain normal cholesterol levels.*

Heart Health Benefits of Soy

38 studies indicates that consuming protein from soy foods is linked to retaining normal cholesterol levels.. Another study suggests that soy protein may have antioxidant proper ties that helps protect “bad” (LDL) cholesterol from oxidizing.3

Beyond the potential of soy to positively impact the cholesterol that travels through arteries, soy isoflavones may also support the healthy function of the arteries themselves. 

One study showed that menopausal women taking soy protein supplements (rich in isoflavones) experienced a significant improvement in elasticity of their arteries. This elasticity has been shown to decline with age, a change that is viewed as a risk factor for cardiovascular health. Some scientists are predicting that these isoflavone effects may prove to be as valuable in supporting heart-healthy aging as their potential to retain normal cholesterol levels.

Health Benefits Of Almonds


The ancient Romans referred to Almonds as “Greek nuts” considering that they were first grown in Greece and typically in the Mediterranean. Almond trees are mainly found in warm dry and warm climates. Spanish missionaries are credited for taking the almond to the United States which is now responsible for almost 80 % of the worlds almond manufacturing. More particularly, California produces over 1 million tons of almonds every year.
Almonds include the most nutrients in contrast to all various other nuts. They’re especially rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acids that help to lower LDL (aka bad cholesterol) and increase HDL (aka great cholesterol). The huge health advantages of almonds allow them to be part of the “Super foods List.” Just a handful of almonds a day offers much of the recommended levels of minerals, vitamins and protein you require in your healthy food diet plan.

The most typical wellness benefits of almonds are:

1. Crazy about your heart – According to studies, eating a handful of almonds frequently can decrease the threat of a heart attack by at least 50 %. Almonds are a great source of folic acid which helps battle fatty plaque that builds up in the arteries. High levels of Vitamin E are also found in almonds, which is an effective anti-oxidant that secures your cells from free of cost radical damage and helping in the development of red blood cells.

2. Prevents constipation – Almonds are rich in fiber which helps for proper bowel movement which in turn aids to clear the intestine. To aid with irregularity it’s smart to consume a lot of water after consuming almonds.

3. Pregnancy aid – Due to the folic acid pointed out above, almonds aid reduces the occurrence of abnormality in newborn babies. Folic acid is a B-Vitamin that helps in the development of cells and makes sure the healthy growth of the fetus.

4. Regulates blood sugar levels – Almonds contain potassium which helps in regulating blood pressure. Additionally, the salt content in almonds is low, this too is likewise instrumental in managing blood pressure. Almonds likewise have a stabilizing impact on sugar and the hormone insulin levels after meals, providing security from diabetic issues. They also consist of magnesium which is another mineral that helps your body control its blood glucose levels.

5. A super alkalizing food – Almonds are the only nut and one of the few proteins that are alkaline forming. When your body isn’t alkaline enough, you run the risk of having a bad immune system, osteoporosis, low energy and a propensity to obtain weight.

6. Reduce Alzheimer’s risk – Almonds include riboflavin and L-carnitine which are nutrients that improve brain task and can likewise decrease the threat of Alzheimer’s disease.

7. Aid in weight loss – According to the California Almond Board, consuming roughly 23 almonds, you’ll consume 160 calories, but you’ll also intake 6 g of protein and 4 g of fiber, both of making you feel full. In 2007 a study in Spain revealed that individuals who consumed nuts in general, twice a week, were over 30 % less most likely to get weight than those who never or almost never consume nuts.

Just like other food, even almonds have their disadvantages. They contain oxalates which can trigger crystallization, so people that have kidney or gallbladder troubles must stay clear of eating almonds. All foods, including ‘superfoods’ provide a healthy diet plan if you eat them with moderation in a well-balanced diet plan.
