Did you know that April is National Soy Foods Month? Soy is unique in that it is the only plant-based protein containing the same healthy amino acids as animal protein. Vegetarians and people looking to replace some animal proteins in their diet have an excellent option available to them by choosing soy-based products. Many types of food contain soy, including burgers, condiments, cheese, and milk. Supplements containing soy protein are also available.
Why Herbalife Nutrition Chose Soy as Its Primary Protein
Herbalife products containing soy provide an important supplement to a healthy daily diet. Herbalife Nutrition considers soy its protein of choice because it promotes lean muscle growth. People who consume adequate amounts of soy tend to have feelings of fullness that last longer and an improved energy level.
According to an analysis titled Atherosclerosis, consuming at least 25 grams of soy protein each day may reduce the risk of heart disease. Keep in mind that soy protein should complement a diet already low in cholesterol and saturated fat to realize this benefit.
Growing Soy Has a Minimal Impact on the Environment
Raising livestock to produce eggs, meat, and milk contributes almost 15 percent to worldwide emissions of greenhouse gas. This percentage even exceeds the emissions produced by all types of transportation combined. Soy is a better alternative for the environment since it requires far less water and land for growing space than other food sources. Farms that grow soy plants also release up to 70 percent less methane and carbon dioxide than beef and dairy farms.
