SAY YES TO SOY
Soya milk, a simple delicious
drink made from soybeans and filtered water, is one of the most natural and
health boosting drinks available today. Sourced from plants, soya milk has no
cholesterol, is low in saturated fat, and is available in delicious flavours
like chocolate, vanilla, coffee, kesar pista and mango. It is a rich source of
100% veg protein and contains the same amount of protein as cow’s milk but
lesser calories. Commercially, soya milk is further fortified with calcium and
vitamins to make it a nutritional package. Here’s what makes this drink
preferred with health fanatics.
GOODNESS OF
PROTEIN
Due its protein content, it helps
in muscle repair and muscle building, facilitating better toning of the body.
CALORIE
WATCHER’S CHOICE
Its reduced calorie and sugar
content is advantageous for those trying to lose weight. An average 200 ml of
natural soya milk contains about 68.8 calories, which is even lesser than
skimmed milk. Soya milk also contains quality carbohydrates compared to dairy
milk.
BOON FOR
LACTOSE INTOLERANT
Those who are lactose intolerant
suffer from digestive problems usually within 30 minutes to two hours after
drinking milk or its by-products. The symptoms generally are diarrhea and
bloating. Since soya milk is naturally lactosefree, it offers the perfect
substitute for dairy.
HEALTHY
OPTION FOR VEGANS
A vegan diet commands abstinence
from animal food sources like meat, eggs and, most importantly milk and other
dairy products. These foods are essential sources for vitamins, proteins,
minerals and other nutrients that the body needs. Soya milk and products made
from it, like tofu, are the perfect substitute for dairy products. In fact,
soya milk also has a longer shelf life than dairy milk.
GLUTEN FREE
A gluten-free diet (GFD) is a diet
that strictly excludes gluten, a mixture of proteins found in wheat and related
grains, including barley, rye, oat, and all their species and hybrids. A
gluten-free diet is essential for managing signs and symptoms of celiac disease
and other medical conditions associated with gluten. Soya milk based beverage
is naturally gluten-free.
Making soya milk a part of your
daily routine can go a long way in helping one remain fit and have the energy
to do more through the day.
