Tofu has high nutritional value, but it should not be eaten more. It is most appropriate to eat 2 pieces of dried tofu every day. Excessive consumption will lead to excessive intake of plant protein, which is not good for your health. Nutrition experts believe that it is the healthiest to eat about 40 grams of dried bean curd every day, and the most commonly eaten dried bean curd is 120 grams (about 2 pieces).

Dried bean curd, as a representative food in soybean food, contains plant protein. Under normal circumstances, plant proteins undergo metabolic changes in the human body, and most of them become nitrogen-containing wastes, which are excreted by the kidneys. However, if you eat too much plant protein, it will inevitably increase the nitrogen-containing waste produced in your body, cause different degrees of fatigue, drowsiness and other problems, and even increase the burden on your kidneys in severe cases. Therefore, the elderly with decreased ability to excrete waste from the kidneys and people with kidney diseases, iron deficiency anemia, gout and arteriosclerosis should try their best to control the intake of legumes such as dried beans so as not to add extra burden to the body.

Tip: Chinese medicine believes that female friends who are prone to diarrhea, abdominal distension and dysmenorrhea should not eat more, especially avoid raw food. Dried tofu can be made into soup to cook. In addition, some people are allergic to protein in bean products. If allergic symptoms such as rash and itching appear, you should also stop eating.
