Tofu can not eat every day

Tofu is a nutritious health care product, but it cannot be eaten every day, nor can it be eaten too much at a time. In particular, elderly people need more attention.

Under normal circumstances, the plant protein that people eat into the body undergoes metabolism, and most of them become nitrogenous wastes and are excreted by the kidneys. When people enter the elderly, the function of excretion of waste from the kidneys is reduced. In this case, the elderly eat large amounts of tofu and ingest too much plant protein, which will inevitably increase the amount of nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, and it will increase the burden on the kidneys. Instead, it will increase the burden on the kidneys. Promotes the decline of renal function. Medical experts have also recently discovered that soy products contain a large amount of methionine, which is converted to cysteine ​​by the enzyme, which damages arterial wall endothelial cells and promotes the formation of arteriosclerosis. Therefore, old people who are accustomed to eating tofu must not eat it every day or eat too much at a time.
