Everyone can enjoy the health benefits of soya

We pay more attention to our health today than ever before. A healthy diet is important for achieving a well-balanced lifestyle. Soya can play an important part of a family’s healthy diet.

Soya provides high-quality protein that contains all the essential amino acids needed for growth and development. Soya products such as drinks, desserts and yogurt can all be included in a varied and well-balanced diet for children over the age of one. Plus calcium-enriched soya products also help in the production of strong bones and teeth.

Both adolescents and adults can benefit from including soya in their daily diet. Soya contains minimal amounts of saturated fats and is rich in polyunsaturated fats with a good ratio of omega 3 and omega 6. The combination of high-quality protein with this excellent fat composition makes soya an ideal element to include in sporting diets.

Great for weight

And there are even more advantages to soya. The Joint Health Claims Initiative (U.K.) has good news for people with high cholesterol levels - 25 grams of soya protein included in a daily diet that is low in saturated fats can actively lower cholesterol levels.

In short: when you choose soya products as part of a healthy daily diet you are making a great investment in your health.
