Cuidado Con La Soya / Careful With Soy
De acuerdo con la Dra. Kaayla Daniels en un artículo publicado en el sitio web llamado Weston A. Price Foundation:
Durante el año anterior a este estudio, la alimentación de este jovencito había acumulado una gran cantidad de isoflavonas de soya, con un promedio de 360mg al día, proveniente de la leche de soya, patatas de soya, tofu, salsa de soya, nueces de soya y edamame.
Este nivel de consumo de soya se pasa por mucho del promedio, sin embargo, eso se ha convertido en algo común últimamente, ya que las personas dejan de comer carne y productos lácteos y los sustituyen con productos de soya.
¿Qué Productos de Soya Son Buenos Para Usted?
Si usted revisara cuidadosamente los miles de estudios publicados sobre la soya, creo que llegaría a la misma conclusión que yo- que es, los riesgos a la salud relacionados con los productos de soya sin fermentar sobrepasan cualquier beneficio posible.
Sin embargo, hay una excepción y este son los productos tradicionales de soya orgánica fermentada, que tiene beneficios de salud relacionados con ellos. Esto debido a que el proceso de fermentación reduce los niveles de fitatos y “anti-nutrientes” de la soya, haciendo que las propiedades benéficas estén disponibles para su sistema digestivo. Por favor comprenda que el tofu no es un alimento de soya fermentado y por lo tanto no se encuentra en la lista de productos de soya recomendados.
Los alimentos de soya que recomiendo principalmente son:
- Tempeh, un pastel de soya fermentada con una textura firme y con sabor a nuez y hongos.
- Miso, una pasta de soya fermentada con una textura cremosa y salada (utilizada frecuentemente en la sopa de miso).
- Natto, soya fermentada con una textura pegajosa y rígida, con sabor a queso.
- Salsa de soya, tradicionalmente hecha con soya fermentada, sal y enzimas. Pero tenga cuidado con las muchas variedades que se venden en el supermercado actualmente, ya que son hechas artificialmente mediante un proceso químico.
Después de interrumpir su alimentación vegetariana y al mismo tiempo eliminar los alimentos de soya, el joven se dio cuenta de una mejora gradual en la función sexual en el transcurso de un año y sus pruebas de laboratorio revelaron una normalización gradual de testosterona y de los niveles de DHEA.
Careful With Soy
According to Dr. Kaayla Daniels in an article published on the website called Weston A. Price Foundation:
During the year prior to this study, the power of this young man had accumulated a large amount of soy isoflavones, with an average of 360mg per day, from soy milk, potatoes, tofu, soy sauce, nuts soybeans and edamame.
This level of soy consumption far surpasses the average, however, it has become commonplace lately, as people stop eating meat and dairy products and replace them with soy products.
What Soy Products Are Good For You?
If you carefully review the thousands of studies published on soy, I would come to the same conclusion that I-that is, the health risks associated with unfermented soy products outweigh any possible benefit.
However, there is an exception and this are the traditional products fermented organic soy, which has health benefits associated with them. This is because the fermentation process reduces the levels of phytate and “anti-nutrients” in soy, causing the beneficial properties become available to your digestive system. Please understand that tofu is not fermented soy food and therefore is not in the list of recommended soy products.
Soy foods I recommend mainly include:
- Tempeh a fermented soybean cake with a firm texture and nutty and fungi.
- Miso, fermented soybean paste with a salty, creamy texture (commonly used in miso soup).
- Natto, fermented soybeans with a sticky texture and stiff, cheesy.
- Soy sauce traditionally made with fermented soybeans, salt and enzymes. But beware of the many varieties that are currently sold in the supermarket as they are made artificially using a chemical process.
After discontinuing his vegan diet while eliminating soy foods, the young man noticed a gradual improvement in sexual function over the course of a year and your lab tests revealed gradual normalization of testosterone and levels DHEA.
7 health organizations recommend a diet based on vegetables
I’m not saying it, but I like to find information about what’s happening in the world, what the organizations responsible, in one way or another for our health, are saying, or at least some guidelines they give us to follow.
When it comes to eating less meat, people look at you in a strange way, as if you were insulting them, as if meat was the center of their universe. I’m not into that, I believe we have full freedom to choose how we age. I’m still not reall that “aged” to think that aging is wonderful, but I get to see many people that’s definitely not enjoying their age.
Suddenly, like enlightenment from above send me I see the light. There are people who at 70 is great. Some people are not.
But, not to stray away from the topic, I just want you to read the standards that advise us these institutions. Here in my blog you can also find articles on how to eat less meat.
The American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada state that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate and provide health benefits in the Prevention and Treatment of certain diseases.
The World Health Organization, in its latest book “Nutrition and Chronic Disease Prevention” ensures that, in the West, the more animal products are consumed, more chronic disease rates occur. We recommend, therefore, a diet based on plant products “plant based diet”.
The American Institute for Cancer Research and the Fund for World Cancer Research are calling for the predominant choice of diets based on plant foods rich in a variety of vegetables and fruits, legumes, starchy foods and minimally processed limiting consumption of red meat, in case of eating it.
The American Cancer Society recommends that most foods you chose are of plant origin.
The American Heart Association recommends choosing a balanced diet emphasizing the use of vegetables, cereals, and fruits.
The Foundation of Canada Heart and Stroke, recommend the use of cereals and vegetables instead of the use of meat as the centerpiece of meals.
The Unified Dietary Guidelines developed by the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, the National Institutes of Health, and the American Academy of Pediatrics made a call to eating a diet based on a variety of plant foods, including foods derived from cereals, vegetables, and fruits to reduce the risk of major chronic diseases.
Total Detox /Meatless Monday
According to a report prepared by the World Bank in December 2008, Latin America and the Caribbean regions represent about: 8.5% of the worlds population and GDP; 6% of energy sector emission; and 12% of global emissions – this figure takes into account all the greenhouse gases, the deforestation and the change in use of soil.
These percentages might appear minor compared to other regions or countries; however as a whole we Latin America is experiencing the direct effect of global warming. The temperatures in the region rose about 1ºC in the 20th Century, while the rise of the sea level increased about two to three millimeters a year from the 1980’s.
Also extreme weather patters are observed such as rain patterns in some areas in the South of Brazil, 
Paraguay and Uruguay which register more rain, while in others regions such as in the south of Chile, the Southwest of Argentina and the south of Peru rainfall has diminished.
Unfortunately, extreme climatic phenomena are more common in resulting in a major number of periods of intense rains and consecutive dry days.
Additionally, Latin America is home to one of the most rich and biological diverse environment on the planet. It has world biggest forests area. The Amazon is home to some of the most dense and unique diversity of flora and fauna in the world.
The Amazon as well as many tropical areas of Latin America are experiencing unprecedented loss of biodiversity. Casing the destruction of there infrastructure, creating problems of health and economic deprivation, among others. Due to the impact that meat is having on the environment, not only is our nation in peril but our precious plant is also experiencing the effects of animal agriculture too.
Thus it is critical that we reduce our consumption of this carbon intensive product as an effective solution to the climate change crisis. But just as important we must reduce the more potent and shorter lived gases such as methane and nitrous oxide.
This petition calls for the governments of Latin America to take an immediate action declaring that every Monday will be a “Meat Free Monday” as well as promote the many health and environmental benefits of the pure vegetarian (vegan) lifestyle to the general public.
Ending World Hunger
If you want to stop 1 billion people from going hungry each day; If you want to stop the needless deaths taking place every 5 seconds due to starvation then a vegan lifestyle is the solution to solve these dyer diet driven situations due to the inefficient use of resources directed towards animal agriculture.
Grain currently fed to livestock is enough to feed 2 billion people. According to a recent report by Compassion in World Farming, “crops that could be used to feed the hungry are instead being used to fatten animals raised for food.”It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of edible animal flesh.
We call on everyone’s support in helping to urge the governments of Latin America and its citizens to adopt and promote a “Meat Free Monday”.

LUNES SIN CARNE : DETOX TOTAL /MEATLESS MONDAY
Si quiere evitar que mil millones de persona pasen hambre cada día; si quieres evitar las muertes innecesarias que ocurren cada 5 segundos debido a la hambruna, entonces un estilo de vida vegano es la solución para resolver las situaciones difíciles actuales que debido al uso ineficiente de recursos dirigidos hacia la agricultura animal. Los granos actualmente utilizados para alimentar al ganado son suficientes para alimentar a dos mil millones de personas. De acuerdo con un reciente reporte de Compasión en la Granja Mundial, “los cultivos que podrían ser usados para alimentar al hambre son usados para engordar a los animales criados para comida.” Lleva más de 7.2 kilogramos producir solo medio kilogramo de carne animal para el consumo.
