Benefits Of Using Soy Products For Menopause Relief

By Mayra Horner


Menopause is that stage when woman ovaries stop producing estrogen. This may be from 45-55 years though others experience it early or even later in their life time. Sometimes it does not apply to all women. It has been noted that ladies who experience their menopausal symptoms early take too long than their counter parts. However, menopause relief with soyis recommended by many medical experts.

Despite having been proven to relief menopause symptoms, not all soy products are useful. However, when using them one has to be aware of these effects that they are going to have on their bodies. Soybeans are known to have high level of phytic acid than other legumes or grains.

This acid usually limits the body from absorbing minerals like calcium, zinc, iron and magnesium. This can worsen the situation especially to those people who have high levels of anxiety during this period due to low level of zinc deficiency. This can also lead to depression and uncontrolled anxiety levels.

Despite the fact that soy is high in lean protein it has protease and typsin inhibitors which make protein digestion difficult. This can in turn reduce the level of amino acids in our bodies. This is why a lot of people complain about digestion complications when they consume soy products. To get over this problem, soaking the soy beans prior to cooking can help reduce the effects.

Excessive sweating is another menopause symptom which affects almost every woman in this age bracket. This is caused by decrease in estrogen hormone levels. This affects the brain and the nervous system to an extend that one cannot concentrate or have a good night sleep. This eventually leads to excessive sweating during the night.

Soy can cause our immune system mistake proteins in pollen with proteins in natural foods making the allergic reaction even worse than before. This can be evident to people who have birch protein allergy. They usually experience itchy throats after consuming soy products. This can be challenging especially when in public. Women who have allergic reaction are not advised to take these products to relief menopause symptoms.

On the other hand using soy beans oil when cooking purposes can lead to weight gain. This is according to a research which was conducted on the product by Maryland Medical Center. Women who are overweight during their menopause are not advised to use soybean oil in their diet in order to avoid chronic inflammation which may lead to heart complications.

As we age and grow old our bodies are prone to health complications like heart attacks, high blood pressure among others. Using natural soy products helps control the risk of developing these complications by lowering the cholesterol levels in the body. On the other hand women are encouraged to consume these products when they are at their tender age in order to lower their chances of getting breast cancer.
