What is perfect with tofu?

The elderly, gout, and kidney patients should not eat more tofu and tofu products. The protein content of these foods is higher than that of soybeans, and tofu protein is a complete protein that contains not only the eight essential amino acids required by the human body, but also has a ratio close to that of the human body and a high level of nutrition. Tofu also contains fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, tofu is sweet and cool, and it is good for the spleen, stomach, and large intestine. It has the effect of supplementing Qi and activating fluids, moisturizing dryness, and detoxifying heat. It can be used to treat red eyes, relieve thirst, dissolve sulphur and soak alcohol. Although tofu is good, excessive consumption can also be harmful to health.

Cause indigestion: Tofu contains extremely rich in protein, once eaten too much not only hinder the body's absorption of iron, but also easily lead to protein indigestion, abdominal distention, diarrhea and other symptoms.

Facilitate the decline of renal function: Under normal circumstances, the plant protein that people eat into the body undergoes metabolic changes, and most of them become nitrogenous wastes and are excreted by the kidneys. When people reach the old age, the ability of the kidneys to excrete waste decreases. If you do not pay attention to your diet, eating large amounts of tofu and eating too much vegetable protein will inevitably increase the amount of nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and make kidney function further. Recession is not conducive to good health. Similarly, patients with kidney disease should not eat more tofu.

To promote the formation of atherosclerosis: American medical scientists pointed out that soy products contain extremely rich methionine, methionine can be converted to cysteine ​​under the action of enzymes. Cysteine ​​can damage endothelial cells in the arterial wall, easily depositing cholesterol and triglyceride on the arterial wall, and promote the formation of arteriosclerosis.

Iodine deficiency: Soybeans made with tofu contain a substance called saponin, which promotes the excretion of iodine in the body. Overlong consumption of tofu can easily cause iodine deficiency, leading to iodine deficiency disorders.

To promote the onset of gout: Tofu contains more purines, gout patients with abnormal metabolism of gout, and patients with elevated serum uric acid concentration can easily lead to gout more tofu.

Tofu + Kelp = Prevention of Iodine Deficiency

Experts advocate that seaweed or other seafood containing high levels of iodine be associated with tofu. Because tofu contains a substance called saponin, this substance can prevent the production of atherosclerotic oxidized lipids, but it will cause the excretion of iodine in the body, and long-term consumption can easily lead to the lack of iodine. If kelp is cooked with tofu, it will be the best of both worlds.

Tofu + Fish Head = Improve Calcium Absorption

Although tofu is rich in calcium, but if you eat tofu, the body's absorption and utilization of calcium is quite low. If you find a food with a high vitamin D content for the tofu, the effect of vitamin D can increase the body's absorption rate of calcium. For example, fish head tofu, this dish is not only delicious but also very scientific. Because the vitamin D in the fish head can increase the body's absorption and utilization of calcium in tofu.
