Bean products and bean foods are healthy diets for women, but tofu is not so healthy for men. Tofu is extremely rich in methionine and purine, which can lead to arteriosclerosis and gout in men. It is quite harmful to the body. Next, we will give you a detailed count of the dangers of men eating tofu. Men's health should be taken seriously from men's diet to eat well.
1、 Harmful to sperm.
A preliminary study by British scientists' laboratory found that a phytochemical in soybean may be harmful to sperm. According to Reuters, British researchers said that a phytochemical found in soybeans may be harmful to sperm and affect male fertility.
Research by Lynn Fraser, a professor at King's College, University of London, who made sperm sterile, showed that genistein, which can mimic the effect of estrogen, affects sperm in mice. "Human sperm is more sensitive to genistein than mouse sperm," Fraser said at a fertility conference
In the experiment, Fraser found that a small amount of this chemical can destroy the sperm of men, and make the sperm "exhausted" and lose fertility when it swims towards the egg. The impact on sperm found in the laboratory may also have no direct connection with real life. But Dr Alan Percy of the University of Sheffield in England said that it was worrying whether these chemicals would affect mature sperm.
Fraser also said that if women eat soybeans and other foods rich in genistein, the impact on male fertility may be greater, because this chemical is likely to have an impact on sperm when sperm enters the female body to make women pregnant. Fraser explained: "Mother's exposure to this substance is probably more dangerous than father's exposure to this substance."
Although this is the initial study, Fraser speculates that these conclusions may affect women who attempt to conceive. At the meeting of the European Association for Human Reproduction and Embryology, she said: "According to our research, if you have the habit of eating a lot of bean products, you should limit your diet during ovulation." When the link of special genes helped the elderly pregnant British Prime Minister Tony Blair's wife Cherie gave birth to her fourth child Leo at the age of 45, Blair's "ability" was widely praised by the British society.
But Leo's birth is probably due to Mrs Blair's genes, not the Prime Minister himself. Recently, scientists have found a specific gene in women who can reproduce naturally after the age of 45. Researchers at Hadassa University Hospital in Jerusalem conducted a study on 250 German-American Jewish women and found that there was a gene in their ovaries that seemed to prevent DNA damage and cell death.
2、 Promote arteriosclerosis.
Soybean products contain extremely rich methionine, which can be converted into cysteine under the action of enzymes. It will damage the endothelial cells of the arterial wall and cause cholesterol and triglyceride to deposit on the arterial wall, leading to arteriosclerosis.
3、 Lead to iodine deficiency.
The saponin contained in soybeans used to make tofu will accelerate the excretion of iodine in the body. Excessive consumption of tofu for a long time can easily lead to iodine deficiency and lead to iodine deficiency disease, which is also one of the hazards of men eating tofu.
4、 Increase kidney burden.
Under normal circumstances, most of the plant protein that people eat into the body is metabolized and finally becomes nitrogen-containing waste, which is discharged from the body by the kidney. In old age, the ability of kidneys to excrete waste will decline. If people do not pay attention to diet and eat a large amount of tofu at this time, excessive intake of plant protein will inevitably increase the amount of nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, increase the burden on kidneys, and is not conducive to health.
5、 Promote gout attacks.
Tofu contains more purine, gout patients with purine metabolism disorder and patients with high blood uric acid concentration may easily cause gout attacks if they eat more tofu.
The five men introduced to you about the dangers of eating tofu must have improved your understanding of tofu. Different ingredients and nutrients in a healthy diet vary from person to person, and the best ingredients should be moderate. In addition, spinach, black beans, oats, yoghurt, tomatoes and so on are all good ingredients for men's health. We might as well try them.
