Can plants be a good source of protein? Soytinly!
Categories: Womens Health, Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Nutrition & Supplements, Men's Health
Recent studies show that soy protein is just as valuable for building lean muscle as whey and casein. In fact, most fitness experts these days suggest regularly including soy as part of a healthy diet, particularly in a post-workout meal. Here's a few reasons why:
- Soy enhances muscle recovery and growth
- It increase nitric oxide (NO) production
- It enhances fat loss
- It improves heart health and protects against certain types of cancers
In the past, many people avoided soy because they believed it was an inferior source of protein. However, as evidenced by the above stated list of health benefits, this is clearly not the case. Just the same, there still exists a fair amount of opposition to this pro-soy stance. What's your take on this matter?
