The benefits of eating tofu are also that when people are sick, their appetite will decline. At this time, eating tofu can increase their appetite. At the same time, tofu is made from soybeans, so the nutrition of tofu is also very rich, and it can also play a positive role in the recuperation after illness. However, for male friends, eating tofu often has these hazards.
Tofu is a man's fatal injury!
Promote arteriosclerosis
Soybean products contain extremely rich methionine, which can be converted into cysteine under the action of enzymes. It will damage the endothelial cells of the arterial wall and cause cholesterol and triglyceride to deposit on the arterial wall, leading to arteriosclerosis.
Promote gout attack
Tofu contains more purine, gout patients with purine metabolism disorder and patients with high blood uric acid concentration may easily cause gout attacks if they eat more tofu.
Lead to iodine deficiency
The saponin contained in soybeans used to make tofu will accelerate the excretion of iodine in the body. Excessive consumption of tofu for a long time is easy to cause iodine deficiency and lead to iodine deficiency disease.
Increase kidney burden
Under normal circumstances, most of the plant protein that people eat into the body is metabolized and finally becomes nitrogen-containing waste, which is discharged from the body by the kidney. In old age, the ability of kidneys to excrete waste will decline. If people do not pay attention to diet and eat a large amount of tofu at this time, excessive intake of plant protein will inevitably increase the amount of nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, increase the burden on kidneys, and is not conducive to health.
Harmful to sperm
A preliminary study by British scientists' laboratory found that a phytochemical in soybean may be harmful to sperm. According to Reuters, British researchers said that a phytochemical found in soybeans may be harmful to sperm and affect male fertility.
