Song Minghua emphasized that eating beans and bean products, besides ingesting high-quality protein, is also a key nutrient for growth. The soybean isoflavone content in beans is high, especially for endocrine disorders and menopausal women, which has the function of balancing hormones

In addition, beans are rich in dietary fiber and vitamin E, which can help to make antibodies and activate immune cells, which is especially important for the elderly. Eating more beans can also prevent obesity and cardiovascular diseases.

The first choice for eating beans is edamame, black bean and soybean.

There are hundreds of kinds of beans and bean products on the market. How to choose them? Song Minghua said that you can choose suitable beans according to different preferences, uses and tastes, and raw beans are definitely the first choice. The three most recommended raw beans are fresh soybean kernels, black beans and soybeans, especially soybean kernels with the highest proportion in protein.

Choose different soy products to lose weight and gain muscle.

Song Minghua explained that the protein ratio refers to the percentage of protein heat to total heat, and the higher the protein ratio, the richer the protein content.

Lose weight: You can choose frozen tofu, traditional tofu and boxed tofu, among which protein has the highest proportion in frozen tofu.

Physical Fitness: Bean skin, dried bean curd and dried bean curd are recommended, among which the protein proportion of bean skin is the highest.

Choice of drinks: Sugar-free soybean milk is most recommended, because the protein content of liquid bean products is not high, and adding sugar will dilute the proportion of protein.

"Eating the wrong bean products may be more terrible than the harm of red meat! Song Minghua pointed out that according to clinical observation, many vegetarians are prone to high cholesterol because of excessive consumption of over-processed soy products, such as vegetarian chicken, vegetarian fish, vegetarian tofu, vegetarian ham and fried bean skin.

Song Minghua reminded that over-processed bean products often use trans fats during cooking, which not only reduces the content of high-quality protein, but also tends to have high cholesterol even if they are vegetarian.

Among all kinds of processed bean products, Song Minghua suggested choosing bean skin, dried bean shreds and diced beans, while Japanese fried bean skin has high oil content, so it is better to eat less.
