Soy And Child Health Help your kids discover a variety of tasty and nutritious foods that can help them maintain a healthy weight throughout their life.Why Soy?Staying healthy and fit depends on kids choosing a variety of healthy foods and regular physical activity. The MyPyramid for Kids suggests children should eat 2-3 cups per day of fat free or low-fat milk or milk equivalent – depending on their age, 5oz. of protein a day, and two and a half cups of vegetables. Soy foods offer high-quality protein and can easily help fulfill the meat, dairy, or vegetable requirement - depending on the soy food chosen. Many fortified soy foods are also good sources of calcium, vitamin D, fiber, and iron, which are important nutrients for growing children.Soy-enhanced foods can add variety and nutritive value to children’s diets without sacrificing taste. Soy foods are readily accepted and enjoyed by children and adolescents as tasty alternatives to meat and dairy. In addition, introducing soy early in life may help children develop healthy eating patterns that last a lifetime. Food preferences developed in the infant and toddler years tend to continue throughout childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood. Incorporating soy into meals helps decrease fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and calories, and increase fiber, while still providing children with key vitamins and minerals.Soy contains many essential nutrients important for growth and development, and works well as a primary source of protein without contributing excess calories.Did you know?* Soy blends well with other ingredients, even extreme flavors.* Soy can provide added fiber to kids’ diets* Soy is a cost-effective ingredient* Offering healthier meals and snacks is a top priority in preventing childhood obesity and reducing disease risk.Save with kid-friendly soy foods!* Serving up 4 soy nuggets in place of 4 chicken nuggets can save ~80 calories.* On the grill try soy veggie burgers rather than regular hamburgers to save ~80 calories - and add 3 grams of fiber – per burger.* Fortified soymilk (soy milk) has almost 50 fewer calories than whole milk per serving. Soymilk (soy milk) can also be used to create a creamy, enhanced flavor to existing menu items.* Save ~70 calories when you replace a beef hotdog with a soy veggie dog.Daily physical activity is important for children of all ages. The USDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 recommends children and adolescents get at least one hour of physical activity on most–preferably all–days of the week. Help your children find an activity that they enjoy and participate with them! Benefits of Soy for ChildrenIn addition to being a tasty alternative in children’s meals, soy may also help prevent the development of certain adult diseases. Studies of soy in children and adolescents have shown that soy eases constipation, lowers high cholesterol, and may even decrease risk of breast cancer later in life.Soy contains many essential nutrients important for growth and development, and works well as a primary source of protein without contributing excess calories.A growing number of children have allergies, food intolerances, religious and cultural needs that require special dietary consideration. Most students who are allergic to peanut butter can enjoy soy nut butter. Most students with milk protein allergy, lactose intolerance, or religious/cultural food practices that prohibit milk consumption can get calcium, vitamin D, vitamin A, and high-quality protein from fortified soymilk (soy milk). Tofu and calcium carbonate fortified soymilk have been found to provide comparable amounts of absorbable calcium as cow’s milk. There are some children who have allergies to soy, but reactions are typically quite mild and most children outgrow their allergies by the age of three.“Consume a variety of foods and beverages packed with nutrients to meet your calorie needs.”Help kids make smart choices from every food group.* Make meatless pizzas using soy pepperoni, soy sausage crumbles, soy deli ham or soy bacon.* Use crumbled tempeh to make sloppy Joes, tacos or burritos.* Make protein-rich smoothies with tofu, soymilk (soy milk) and a variety of fruits.* Make homemade trail mix by mixing honey-roasted soy nuts and chocolate-covered soy nuts in with the whole-grain cereal, raisins and other dried fruit.* Add fortified soymilk (soy milk) containing calcium, vitamin A, vitamin D, and high-quality protein to the diets of children who do not drink cow’s milk.* Spread soy nut butter on whole wheat bread or celery, in place of peanut butter* Use soy foods such as tofu, tempeh, miso, soymilk (soy milk), and edamame as teaching tools to introduce children to different cultural eating and lifestyle practices.

LOUIS, March 28 -- PRNewswire-USNewswire -- Obesity. High blood pressure. Abnormal cholesterol levels. Most of us intuitively recognize these as warning signs for health problems. Combine these risk factors in individuals with insulin resistance, however, and the cluster becomes metabolic syndrome -- a precursor to heart disease and type-2 diabetes. Now, new research co-authored by the Harvard University School of Public Health shows that adding soy to the diet may improve many problems associated with the metabolic syndrome above and beyond that of a healthy diet without soy.The study evaluated both soy protein and soy nut consumption among postmenopausal women living with metabolic syndrome. Soy protein and soy nuts each exhibited a beneficial effect on components of the syndrome, but soy nuts had the strongest impact, perhaps because they provided soy protein as well as polyunsaturated ("good") fat and contained a higher amount of soybean isoflavones.How much should we worry about metabolic syndrome? The condition afflicts up to 30 percent of the industrialized world's population, and will likely affect 50 to 75 million Americans by the year 2010. Alarmingly, this syndrome increases risk of heart disease by two to four times that of the normal population, and increases risk of type-2 diabetes by nine to 30 times. Research also suggests the metabolic syndrome may play havoc with the kidneys, liver, ovaries, ability to sleep and even dementia.Published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the Harvard study, which was co-authored by researchers at Shaheed Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Iran, used a randomized crossover design involving 42 Iranian postmenopausal women. All subjects consumed each of three different diets for eight week periods: a healthy diet that had previously been demonstrated to lower blood pressure, the same diet in which soy protein replaced the original protein source or the same diet in which soy nuts replaced the protein source.The results showed that all three diets lowered LDL ("bad") cholesterol but the decreases were significantly greater in the diets containing soy. Even more impressive, the soy-containing diets markedly improved insulin resistance, a hallmark of the metabolic syndrome. In this case, soy nuts had a greater effect than soy protein.Dr. Mark Messina, a nutritionist and noted soyfood expert, commented, "The results of this study confirm the well-recognized role of soyfoods in reducing cholesterol levels and provide new evidence that soyfoods can potentially help millions of individuals with the metabolic syndrome by improving insulin resistance."For more information visit: www.trusonorganics.com | ||||||||||||||
