THREE MYTHS ABOUT SOY

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Myth #1: Soy Causes Cancer. Because soy isaflavones have a similar chemical structure to human estrogen, people battling hormone-related cancers were encouraged to avoid soy. But over 2000 peer reviewed studies have confirmed that soy can actually reduce the side effects of cancer and reduce the likelihood of it returning.

Myth #2: Soy Inhibits Thyroid Function. In the past, research suggested soy consumption could have a negative effect on thyroid function. However, in those studies, what was more commonly identified was the deficiency in iodine levels combined with the soy intake.
In summary, more iodine (and not less soy) is what is needed to maintain thyroid function.

Myth #3: Soy Does Not Help With Heart Health. In 2017, the FDA reversed their position on soy and heart health, thereby declaring that soy did not help with heart health. In fact, an analysis published in the Journal of the American Heart Association concluded that soy is heart-healthy and that it lowers LDL “bad” cholesterol that can increase the risk for heart disease.

Our bodies need magnesium

I know mine does. I had a doctor once tell me that many asthmatics were low in magnesium and it seemed to be a factor in severity of asthma attacks. Once I heard that, I figured I’d tart taking magnesium. After all what could happen? My asthma could get better? For me that would be a win. So I started with some supplements and they helped.

But then I came across Mela-Out and it was a powdered magnesium to mix into your water. I had to try it.I found d out drinking one glass of Mela-Out Magnesium helped me to relax and breathe easier. I also became better at managing everyday stress. So, in my case, my doctor was right!

Benefits of Magnesium:

• Magnesium helps you sleep
• Magnesium calms your mind
• Magnesium reduces muscle cramps
• Magnesium relieves headaches
• Magnesium strengthens bones
• Magnesium lowers blood pressure

Magnesium is involved in over 600 enzymatic reactions in the body and if you aren’t supplementing, you’re probably not getting enough.

How to Increase Protein in Your Diet

More and more research continually comes out suggesting that we should consume almost twice as much protein as we were told to do in the past. Today, many health experts recommend that we all shoot for 100 grams of protein each day. Doing so is crucial to help maintain and build muscle mass, but also it’s a great way to lose or maintain a healthy weight.
So how to we revise our day to make sure we can increase our protein intake?

Here are some tips:

  • Eat your protein first. Eating protein first a meal can prevent your blood sugar from rising too high after a meal.
  • Snack on cheese. Choose a lower fat one like mozzarella, parmesan, gouda or a low-fat stringed cheese.
  • Replace cereal with eggs or oatmeal. Both offer more protein than cereal.
  • Choose Greek Yogurt . Many Greek yogurts and top with almonds as a bonus.
  • Have a protein shake for breakfast, lunch or as a snack. A protein shake with milk can add 30 grams easily!
  • Add cottage cheese to your menu. One cup can contain as much as 23 grams of protein.
  • Munch on edamame. You can buy it frozen or get it in the salad bar at Whole Foods 

Increasing your protein can be super simple. It just takes a little bit of planning!

We just received our beef box today. This month our box contains: is four ribeyes, two packagess of steak strips, two packages of beef hot dogs (something new!), four packages of ground beef and one package of diced steak.
This is the first time we’re trying the hot dogs. I Like the fact they have NO nitrates, or nitrites. All beef is grass fed, no hormones or antibiotics in any of it. Ever!

I’m happy I can buy my meats from a trusted source and still have it delivered to my door. Riverbend Ranch has some AMAZING beef that’s for sure!

It’s become my go to beef brand. Get ya some! Yummy
