Soy & Teenage Health

More Information

  
We know that teenager can become very health conscious. In fact, in the past decade American teenagers (especially girls) have had the highest rate of turning vegetarian. Soy foods as a source of complete protein and a food low in saturated fats and free of cholesterol can be a great source of not only protein but also carbohydrate and favorable fats for nutritional needs of these critical years of growth of the teenagers.

• Soy's high quality complete protein containing health promoting phytochemicals can be a significant source of protein for the muscle development.

• Soy may help reduce teenage acnes significantly. Soy may leave a gentle skin on acne sites.

• Soy may reduce the sun damage on the skin.

• Soy helps maintain bone density.

• Soy may help reduce body fat.

Soy protein is a complete protein (the only protein of plant origin that provides all essential amino acids).

• Soy protein containing isoflavones are an excellent source of antioxidants for the human body. This antioxidant capability can help in reducing muscle soreness and fatigue following exercise, therefore speeding up muscle recovery and ultimately enhancing muscle performance.

Clinical research studies on the effects of soy protein on human performance: in the past 5 years more than a dozen clinical studies have been conducted in major US and European Universities and sport physiology research institutes on the favorable effects of DrSoy brands and soy protein in general on lean muscle mass production and performance. The results of the studies comparing soy to whey protein and casein (milk protein) indicate that soy protein supplementation shows a measurable and positive effect in strength and endurance in athletes who use them.
