Tofu is a great food invention in China. Eating tofu is also good for our health. But everything has two sides, and eating too much tofu will also bring harm to the human body.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, tofu is sweet and cool, enters the spleen, stomach and intestine, and has the effects of invigorating qi, harmonizing middle energizer, promoting fluid production and moistening dryness, and clearing away heat and toxic materials.

Too much food will affect the kidneys and induce kidney diseases. Therefore, although tofu is good, you can't eat more. Eating too much tofu is bad for your health and will cause the following diseases.

Eating tofu often is easy to get these five diseases.

1, promoting gout attack

Tofu contains more purines, and gout patients with abnormal purine metabolism and patients with elevated blood uric acid concentration are prone to gout attacks, especially gout patients should eat less.

2, cause indigestion

Tofu is rich in protein. Eating too much at a time not only hinders the absorption of iron, but also easily causes protein's indigestion, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other discomfort symptoms.

3, lead to iodine deficiency

Soybeans that make tofu contain a substance called saponin, which can not only prevent atherosclerosis, but also promote the excretion of iodine in human body. Long-term excessive consumption of tofu can easily lead to iodine deficiency, leading to iodine deficiency disorders.

4. Promote the formation of arteriosclerosis

American medical experts pointed out that soy products are rich in methionine, which can be converted into cysteine under the action of enzymes. Cysteine can damage endothelial cells of arterial wall, and it is easy to deposit cholesterol and triglyceride on arterial wall, thus promoting the formation of arteriosclerosis.

5. Promote the decline of renal function

Under normal circumstances, protein, a plant that people eat in the body, undergoes metabolic changes, and finally most of it becomes nitrogen-containing waste, which is excreted by the kidneys. When people get old, the ability of the kidneys to excrete waste decreases. At this time, if you don't pay attention to diet, eat a lot of tofu, and take in too much plant protein, it will inevitably increase the nitrogen-containing waste produced in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and further reduce the renal function, which is not conducive to health.
