| By mimicking human estrogen at certain sites in the body, isoflavones provide many health benefits that help you to avoid disease. They have been shown to help prevent the buildup of arterial plaque, which reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. They may also prevent prostate cancer by hindering cell growth. Isoflavones can fight osteoporosis by stimulating bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption. This can lead to a heart attack if the clot goes to the heart, or a stroke if it goes to the brain. All these findings suggest that eating soy foods - natural sources of isoflavones - can protect and enhance your overall health. Isoflavones work together with soy protein in fighting disease. The best way to consume isoflavones is in food form, so that you can benefit from all of soy's nutrients and beneficial compounds. |
