Tofu's five major harms to the body

Tofu is made from soybeans, green beans, black beans as raw materials, processed by soaking, refining, filtering, boiling, thinning, solidifying, and forming. It is one of the most widely used and most popular cooking ingredients. Tofu and tofu products have higher protein content than soybeans, and tofu protein is a complete protein that not only contains eight kinds of essential amino acids, but also has a proportion close to human needs, and has a high nutritional potency.

Tofu also contains fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.

According to Chinese medicine theory, tofu is sweet and cool, and it has a good taste in the spleen, stomach, and large intestine. It has the effect of supplementing Qi and activating fluids, moisturizing dryness, and detoxification. It can be used to treat red eyes, diabetes, sulfur, and shochu drugs. Although tofu is good, there are disadvantages to eat more, too much will harm health.

Question 1: Promote renal function decline

Under normal circumstances, the plant protein that people eat into the body undergoes metabolic changes, and most of them become nitrogenous wastes and are excreted by the kidneys. In the elderly, the ability of the kidneys to excrete waste decreases. If you do not pay attention to your diet, eat large amounts of tofu, and consume excessive amounts of plant protein, it will inevitably increase the amount of nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and make kidney function. Further decline is not conducive to good health.

Question 2: Induced indigestion

Tofu contains extremely rich in protein, and eating too much at a time not only hinders the body's absorption of iron, but also easily causes protein indigestion and bloating and diarrhea.

Question 3: Promoting Arteriosclerosis

American medical experts point out that soy products contain extremely rich methionine, which can be converted to cysteine ​​by the action of enzymes. Cysteine ​​can damage endothelial cells in the arterial wall, easily depositing cholesterol and triglyceride on the arterial wall and promoting the formation of arteriosclerosis.

Question 4: Lead to iodine deficiency

The soybeans that make tofu contain a substance called saponin that not only prevents atherosclerosis, but also promotes the excretion of iodine in the body. Long-term excessive consumption of tofu can easily cause iodine deficiency, leading to iodine deficiency disorders.

Question 5: Cause gout attack

Tofu contains more purines, gout patients with metabolic disorders, gout patients, and patients with elevated serum uric acid concentrations can easily cause gout, especially for patients with gout.

Obviously, though tofu is good, it should not be eaten every day. Older people and patients with kidney disease, iron deficiency anemia, gout, and arteriosclerosis need to control their consumption. Chinese medicine believes that tofu is cold, cold stomach and diarrhea, bloating, spleen deficiency and kidney failure often appear spermatorrhea should not eat more.
