10 taboos to remember when drinking soy milk

Soy milk is a nutritious and healthy drink for the human body. However, drinking soy milk improperly can affect your health.

1. Do not drink unboiled soy milk.

Raw soy milk contains trypsin inhibitors, saponins and some other harmful substances.So if you drink raw or undercooked soy milk, it will cause nausea, vomiting, stomachache, diarrhea... even poisoning.

Not everyone can absorb soy milk well.

According to traditional medicine, soybeans are cold and active in nature, so people with weak spleen and stomach, bloating, flatulence, belching, heartburn, diarrhea after eating, people with symptoms of kidney failure, spermatorrhea, frequent urination at night... are not suitable to use, as it can easily make the above symptoms worse.

2. Do not beat eggs with soy milk.

Many people think that beating eggs into soy milk or drinking soy milk with eggs can increase nutrients. In fact, the opposite is true, because egg whites combine with trypsin in soy milk to form a precipitate that is difficult for the body to absorb, and it also destroys the nutrients in eggs and soy milk.

3. Do not use brown sugar mixed with soy milk.

Brown sugar contains many organic acids such as lactic acid, acetic acid... which combine with proteins and calcium to form denatured compounds that destroy the nutrients in soy milk, while also affecting the body's absorption and digestion.

4. Do not drink soy milk without eating starch products.

If you only drink soy milk, the nutrients in soybeans will be converted into heat and consumed by the body, so it will no longer have any nutritional effects. Therefore, when drinking soy milk, you should eat some snacks such as cakes, bread, dumplings, etc. or starch products. Starch helps to secrete gastric juice, allowing the nutrients in soy milk to be digested and absorbed completely.

5. Do not drink too much soy milk at once.

For adults, you should not drink more than 500ml at a time. If you drink too much, it can easily lead to stomachache and diarrhea because the nutrients in soy milk are not fully absorbed, negatively affecting digestion.

6. Do not take medicine with soy milk

Some drugs, especially antibiotics such as tetracycline and erythromycin, have the effect of destroying nutrients in soy milk.

7. Soy milk should not be stored in a thermos.

Bacteria can easily grow and develop in soy milk at warm temperatures. After 3 to 4 hours, the soy milk will spoil and can no longer be used.

8. Soy milk should not be used as a substitute for breast milk for infants.

Although the nutritional content in soy milk is high, it is still not enough for children's development needs.

9. Do not drink soy milk on an empty stomach.

If you drink soy milk on an empty stomach, most of the protein will be converted into heat and consumed by the body, which may not have a tonic effect. It is recommended to eat some starchy foods when drinking milk, such as bread, cakes, steamed bread, etc. Therefore, under the influence of starch, protein can completely react with gastric juice and make the nutrients fully absorbed by the body.

10. Do not drink too much soy milk during the day.

Because the body will have to digest too much protein, causing symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, etc. In case of headache, respiratory obstruction and other symptoms after drinking soy milk, you must immediately see a doctor and consult a doctor for timely treatment.
