Soybean protein may help improve bone strength

　　When it comes to female menopause, every woman has to go through the stage. Xiaobian believes that no female friend is not afraid of menopause, which means that the elderly is waving to you, which will be accompanied by depression, mood fluctuations, waist and leg pain, irregular menstruation and even premenopause symptoms. According to statistical analysis, most of the Chinese women's menopause is between 45 and 55 years old, and some can be advanced to 39 years old, or later to 60 years old. For menopause is not terrible, terrible is that many female friends do not know how to prevent and postpone, and after the conditioning.

　　Ovarian degeneration is a key cause of menopause, and postmenopausal women suffer from serious health problems, the most prominent of which are osteoporosis, decreased exercise capacity, and weight gain. Recently, a new study has found that soy protein can resist the negative effects of female menopause on bone and metabolic health, but also play a positive role in protecting the bone strength of women who have not yet menopaused, bringing good news to female friends.

　　The study was carried out at the University of Missouri. Rats were divided into two groups, ovaries and ovaries, to mimic the effects of menopause. By feeding soybean and maize, the effects of soybean diet on low health rats were explored, and the relationship between bone strength and metabolic function of mice was compared.

　　Hinton and Victoria Vieira-Potter, associate professors of nutrition and exercise physiology, explained that rats were chosen because they had been proven to be the best model, similar to the low activity of American women before and after menopause. By simulating the metabolic process in mice, we can deduce how soybean protein affects women's bone health throughout the life cycle.

　　The results showed that the tibia of soybean protein-fed rats was stronger than that of corn-fed rats, no matter how the ovarian level changed. In addition, the metabolic function of ovary-fed and ovary-free rats was significantly improved. Therefore, experts suggest that female friends can eat more foods from natural soybeans in their daily diet, such as soybean products, which can help enhance bone strength and prevent osteoporosis.
