Abstract: the article under discussion describes the main advantages of soybean for human health. The authors of the article take a closer look at the nutrition facts of soybean and suggest to expand soybean production.
Keywords: soybean, production, advantages, improve, reduce, cancer, humans, economy, expansion, vitamins, source of protein.
Soybean production occupies close to 6% of the world's arable land. Soybean expansion is occurring much faster than with other major grains or oilseeds. Soybeans increasingly are being employed as the modern input of choice for buyers. They are mainly used as intermediate food, feed, and industrial inputs, not final consumer products, therefore remaining somewhat invisible in the economy. Only 2% of soybean protein is consumed directly by humans in the form of soy food products such as tofu, soy hamburger, or soy milk analogs. All but a very small percentage of the other 98% is processed into Soybean Meal and fed to livestock, such as poultry and pigs. In this way, soybean demand is essentially a derived demand for meat. Soybean has risen to become a leading crop because the income elasticity of meat is high [1, p.p. 2-6].
Soybeans have a wealth of benefits, including their ability to improve the metabolism, help in healthy weight gain, protect heart health, defend against colorectal cancer, and reduce the effects of menopause. They improve digestion, promote bone health, protect against birth defects, increase circulation, decrease the risk of diabetes, and generally tone up the body. Soybeans, which are also known as soya beans, are a species of legume that has become one of the most widely consumed foods in the world. They are extremely useful for human health and they are easy to cultivate as well. These legumes are produced in greatest numbers in the United States and South America, but they are actually native to East Asia. Their scientific name is Glycine max, and they are classified as an oilseed, rather than a pulse, like most legumes. Soybeans have become important and popular in recent decades because of the rise in soy food's popularity, including soy milk and textured vegetable protein. The high levels of protein make these soy products an ideal protein source for vegetarians and the variety of soy products has created a massive new market altogether.
The health benefits of soybeans come from the nutrients, vitamins, and organic compounds including a significant amount of dietary fiber and a very large amount of protein. According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, soybeans contain vitamin K, riboflavin, folate, vitamin B6, thiamin, and vitamin C. As for minerals, soybeans contain significant amounts of iron, manganese, phosphorus, copper, potassium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and calcium. They are also a good source of organic compounds and antioxidants, which further help in boosting your health.
Soybeans are an extremely important source of protein. Proteins are the building blocks of cells and blood vessels and basically every essential part of the human body. Proteins from soybeans ensure proper health and regrowth of cells if they need to be repaired or replaced. It can be difficult to get enough protein when you follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, so soybeans provide an excellent replacement for proteins that are normally acquired from red meat, chicken, eggs, dairy products, and fish.
A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food reveals that black soybean seed coats have an anti-obesity effect. Soybeans and soy-based products have been associated with appetite suppression to eliminate overeating, which can lead to obesity and other related risks. However, soybeans also provide a decent amount of fiber and protein, which can help in weight gain, if eaten in large quantities. Therefore, soybeans are beneficial for people who want to lose weight as well as the ones who want to gain some. Furthermore, the weight they provide to your body is not unhealthy high-fat or high cholesterol in nature, which protects you from dangerous conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Soybeans have high levels of antioxidants present in them, says a study by researcher Dan Pratt of Purdue University. This makes them good for preventing the onset of various cancers. Antioxidants seek out and neutralize free radicals, which are the dangerous byproducts of cellular metabolism. These free radicals can cause healthy cells to mutate into deadly cancerous cells. Furthermore, according to American Institute of Cancer Research, soybeans are rich in fiber content which is also linked to a lower risk of colorectal and colon cancer. Also, research on the anticancer effects of soybeans on other types of cancer is ongoing.
Soybeans are a source of healthier, unsaturated fat, which helps you lower your total cholesterol. This allows you to prevent conditions like atherosclerosis, which can easily lead to heart attack and stroke. This is confirmed by a study conducted by Dr. James Anderson, et al., University of Kentucky. Furthermore, there are some specific fatty acids that are necessary for a healthy system. Two of those fatty acids are linoleic acid and linolenic acid. These two fatty acids, found in significant amounts in soybeans, regulate smooth muscle function in the body and help maintain appropriate blood pressure levels. Finally, the fiber in soybeans has actually been shown to reduce cholesterol levels in the body by scraping excess cholesterol off the walls of blood vessels and arteries [2, p.p.20-35].
One of the most common elements lacking in many people's diet is fiber, which is present in high quantities in soybeans.
Fiber is an essential part of a healthy body, particularly in terms of the digestive system. It is vital also because constipation can be a very serious condition that can lead to serious conditions, including colorectal cancer.
Soybeans have a high vitamin and mineral content and the impressive levels of calcium, magnesium, copper, selenium, and zinc in them are also very important for healthy bones. All of these elements are essential for promoting osteotropic activity, which allows for new bones to grow and also speeds up the bone healing process. Eating soybeans can be a long-term solution for problems like osteoporosis, which commonly occurs as we age.
Soybeans are rich in highly nutritious legumes, as per the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Copper and iron are two minerals found in abundance in soybeans and both of these are essential for the formation of red blood cells. This maximizes metabolic activity and increases energy levels, while also avoiding dangerous conditions like anemia.
In conclusion, more and more people become aware of the health and nutritional benefits of soy products and it's essential to expand soybean production in the country.
