Therefore, regular consumption of buckwheat is very beneficial to prevent and treat hypertension, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis and dyslipidemia.

Magnesium and chromium contained in buckwheat are beneficial to the prevention and treatment of diabetes, especially chromium, which is an ideal energy substance for lowering blood sugar. It can enhance the activity of insulin, accelerate glucose metabolism, and promote the synthesis of fat and protein. Through clinical observation, it is found that the blood sugar and urine sugar of some diabetic patients have decreased in different degrees after using buckwheat, and the reason is probably closely related to the chromium contained in buckwheat.

Japanese people eat more than 20 kilograms of tofu every year on average, and the longevity of Japanese people is not unrelated to this.

Hawaiian medical scientists in the United States conducted a 20-year follow-up survey on 8,000 Japanese-Americans, and found that people who only eat tofu once a week or once every two or three weeks have a prostate cancer prevalence rate three times higher than those who eat tofu every day, which shows that tofu has magical anti-cancer effect.

Experts also found that there is a phytase substance in soybean, which is rich in cellulose and can inhibit the occurrence of colon cancer.

Soybean also contains a protease, which can inhibit skin cancer and bladder cancer, especially female breast cancer, and the curative effect can reach 50%.

Japanese women are popular with a fashion concept of "eating soy milk for beauty". Researchers at Japan Rural Aquatic Food Research Institute found that there is a linoleic acid substance in soybean, which can change the moisture of human skin and make the skin white. They added some linoleic acid to the melanocytes synthesized in the experimental mice, and the black cells of the experimental mice slowly turned white. After further research, it is known that the main component of melanin is synthesized by tyrosine, one of the amino acids.

This discovery is undoubtedly a great blessing for people who naturally love beauty, especially women.
