"Lao Zhang, you are like this, I am so impressed!"
In a medical center, Dr. Yu Jiangke exclaimed. 62-year-old Uncle Zhang Kuanduan, thin and cheerful, but in recent years, he has begun to feel physically exhausted, and his bones often feel sore.
Uncle Zhang Kuanduan's living habits are quite ordinary, and the only special feature may be his insistence on breakfast: he must drink a large cup of homemade soy milk every morning.
Half a year ago, at the suggestion of his family, he started this habit and insisted on grinding soy milk on time every morning, regardless of wind or rain. Soy milk is not only a source of nutrition for him, but also a sense of ritual, which makes his every day start with a healthy expectation.
Time flies, and half a year is half a year for Uncle Zhang Kuanduan. Today, he came to the hospital again for a routine medical check-up.
Dr. Yu Jiangke couldn't help but be amazed. It turned out that compared with half a year ago, Uncle Zhang Kuanduan's blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar have changed significantly. What's even more surprising is that the arthritis symptoms that have plagued him have also been greatly alleviated.
These changes made Dr. Yu Jiangke very curious, what factors contributed to such changes? Uncle Zhang Kuanduan said with a smile: "It's all the credit of soy milk!"
Dr. Yu Jiangke knows that soy milk is rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, which are indeed beneficial to health, but it is surprising that it can have such a great effect.
Dr. Yu Jiangke explained that soy milk is not only rich in plant protein, but also a compound called "isoflavone", which has an estrogen-like effect, which can effectively relieve menopausal symptoms and has a significant effect on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
Dr. Yu explained, "The ingredients in soy milk can really help improve your physical condition. However, everything should be done in moderation, and excessive intake can also cause problems. ”
Dr. Yu Jiangke's explanation made Uncle Zhang Kuanduan realize that the key to maintaining health is not just a single food or habit, but an integrated and balanced lifestyle.
With the help of Dr. Jiang Ke, Uncle Zhang Kuanduan decided to continue to stick to his soy milk breakfast, and at the same time began to pay more attention to the diversity and balance of his diet.
After listening to Dr. Yu Jiangke's explanation, Uncle Zhang Kuanduan had a new curiosity in his heart: "Doctor Zhang Yujiangke, should I drink this soy milk every day? Is it possible that drinking too much is not good for my health?"
Dr. Yu Jiangke explained: "Uncle, soy milk is indeed good, but as the old saying goes, 'things must be opposed', and an overdose of anything may backfire." ”
"In moderation. Although the plant protein contained in soy milk is beneficial to the body, if it is excessive, it may increase the burden on the kidneys, especially for the elderly whose kidney function is not very good. ”
"Although soy milk is rich in nutrients, it also contains a certain amount of phytic acid, and excessive intake may affect the body's absorption of certain minerals, such as iron and calcium. ”
Dr. Yu Jiangke also specifically mentioned a recent case: "There is a recent case about an old gentleman who drank a lot of soy milk every day, which caused calcium malabsorption, resulting in mild osteoporosis. ”
"So, I suggest that you drink soy milk a day with one cup a day, not in excess, and it is best to drink it after meals, so as to reduce the impact on mineral absorption. ”
Uncle Zhang Kuanduan nodded: "Doctor Zhang Yujiangke, I remember what you said, one cup a day, don't be greedy for a cup." This allowed Uncle Zhang Kuanduan to learn in-depth knowledge about soy milk, and also understood that even if it is a good thing, moderate amount is king.
For him, this kind of knowledge is a valuable learning experience, and it is also an adjustment and improvement of his lifestyle.
