U-Tempeh ubonelela ngezibonelelo zezempilo (Ifoto ngu-Deb Lindsey kwi-Washington Post). I-Soy, iprotein eyenziwe kwisityalo seembotyi zesoya, ifumene ingqalelo enkulu kwaye iphantse yaba yinto ethe vetshe kushishino lokutya kunye nolwezempilo. Imbotyi etyiwayo enokutya okunesondlo kunye nokusetyenziswa okuninzi ityebile kumafutha e-omega-3, iivithamini ze-B, zinc, isinyithi, i-polyunsaturated fat, i-fiber, i-phytochemicals kunye ne-antioxidants. I-Soy ithandwa kakhulu phakathi kwabatyayo njengoko besebenzisa i-tofu kunye ne-tempeh njengendawo yokutshintsha iiprotein zezilwanyana.
I-Soy iqulethe i-isoflavones, etshintshiweyo emzimbeni ukuya kwi-phytoestrogens. I-Phytoestrogens iyafana ne-hormone estrogen. Abasetyhini bahlala besebenzisa isoyile njengonyango olungena endaweni yehomoni ukukhulula iimpawu ezinxulumene nokuyeka ukuya exesheni. Kukwanxulunyaniswe nokuthintela kunye nokulawula isifo sentliziyo kunye nomhlaza.
Ngelixa zikhona izibonelelo ezininzi zesoya, kukho impikiswano ejikeleze le mbotyi. Ingxaki ikakhulu ilele kwisoyi engenagwele. I-Soy inokuvundiswa okanye ingenagwele. Isoya enegwele, edla ngokufumaneka eAsia, ngowona mthombo ubalaseleyo wevithamini K2. Xa idityaniswe nevithamin D, i-K2 inokunceda ukuthintela isifo sentliziyo, isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo, isifo samathambo kunye neminye imihlaza. Isoya engenagwele, eyona mveliso ityiwa kakhulu ngabantu baseMelika, kwelinye icala iqulethe izixa ezikhulu zokulwa nezakhamzimba ezithintela umzimba wakho ekufunxeni imfuno eziyifunayo. 
Iingcali azivumelani ngezibonelelo zezempilo zikaTofu (Flikr).
Iiseli zabantu, kubandakanya iiseli zomhlaza, zinee-protein receptors ezijolise ikakhulu kwiimolekyuli ezibophelelayo. Ukulingana phakathi kwezi zimbini kugqiba ukuba iseli izakuziphatha njani. Banokubangela umsebenzi weseli okanye bayivimbe. I-Soy inokuzenza zombini. Ngenxa yokuba i-estrogen yomntu kunye ne-phytoestrogen efumaneka kwisoyile ziyafana, iiseli zabantu azinakho ukwahlula phakathi kwezi zimbini. Abanye bakholelwa ukuba i-soy's phytoestrogen inokubangela ukukhula komhlaza webele ngenxa yokufana kwayo ne-estrogen yabantu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abanye bakholelwa ukuba unokuthintela umhlaza webele ngokuthatha indawo ye-estrogen yabantu ngaphakathi kwii-protein receptors.
Izibonelelo eziyinyani zesoya zivela ekutyeni kuphela iimveliso zesoya ezinjenge-miso, tempeh, natto kunye neesosi ezininzi zesoya. Qiniseka ukuba usebenzisa kuphela izixa ezincinane zesoya njengoko zinokuphakama kwisodiyam. Iproteyini yeSoy iseyenye indlela elungileyo yeprotein yezilwanyana kunye nobisi, zombini ezi zinamafutha amaninzi.
Iingcebiso zokutya iSoy
- Musa ukusebenzisa ngaphezulu kwesosi enye ngosuku (30 mg).
- Yitya kuphela iimveliso zesoya ezinotyiweyo ezinje nge-miso, tempeh, natto, kunye nezinye iisosi zesoya.
- Kulumkele ukuveliswa kweemveliso zesoya ezinje nge-soy ice cream, ityhuna enkonkxiweyo, iitshiphusi zesoya, isymilk, isoy burger, ubisi olungumgubo lweentsana, iisuty soy kunye nenye itofu.
- Gwema izongezo zesoya ezenziwe kwii-isoflavones.
