Tofu-The Excellent Source Of Proteins For Vegetarians
September 1, 2007
Those who thought vegetarian diets make people weak and tired, think again. Tofu is here to prove you wrong.
Tofu is an excellent source of protein, especially soy protein. Research on soy protein has shown that regular intake can help lower cholesterol level by 30 percent and also reduces LDL (Read an in-depth understanding of good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol). It also works wonders on lowering triglyceride levels and reduces the tendency of platelets to form blood clots. In short, tofu can be greatly responsible for reducing the chances of heart disease.
Tofu can be added in the diet in a variety of ways-in salads, fillings in sandwiches, rolls, wraps, tacos etc. They can be grilled, stir fried and grated as toppings on soups. Soy protein can be enjoyed as milkshakes which are great fillers for those who want to cut down on some calories in a healthy way.
Explore varieties in your diet and relish tofu today.
