Soy: The Perfect Health Partner for Men*

There is so much to accomplish in each day that no man needs the distraction of health concerns. Of course, the most important thing anyone can do to improve or maintain their health and general well-being is to develop good eating habits. When we eat right, our bodies become more efficient, reducing the risks of heart disease and cancer – two of the most common health issues many men are eventually forced to deal with in the course of their lives.

But for every potential health problem, there are steps we can take to eliminate our risks. For example, researchers have found that diets rich in soy can protect against colon cancer and prostrate cancer. A recent study conducted at the University of Michigan in Lansing determined, “Men who ate 39 grams of soy protein each day for 1 year had fewer colon cells in the process of dividing than did men who didn’t eat soy.” It was concluded that with fewer cells expanding, the men eating the soy will stand a better chance of avoiding colon cancer in the future. [1]

Studies have also found encouraging results when researching the impact of eating soy upon the potential for developing prostrate cancer -- the number one cancer diagnosed in men over 45.[2] These studies established that when digested, certain characteristics of soy make it possible for it to block the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can wreak havoc in a man’s system if not controlled. And the benefits don’t stop with reduced cancer risk. Research continues to suggest that adding soy to a man’s diet decreases his risks for heart disease, baldness, and even memory loss.[3]

Soy can be added to the diet painlessly. With the medical community increasingly recognizing the positive impact that soy can have on preventative health strategies, food manufactures and suppliers are rising to the occasion. There are now many affordable and delicious soy products available. There is no doubt that you can find ways to implement them into your meal plans, placing yourself firmly on the path to good health and lifetime wellness.
