Is it good for children to drink soy milk powder?

Soy milk is a drink that is deeply loved by people in daily life, because it tastes delicious and has high nutritional value. It has the effects of moisturizing the intestines, promoting diuresis and removing moisture, and losing weight. However, children’s development in all aspects is not yet complete, and the phytoestrogens in soy milk will have an adverse effect on children’s development. Therefore, it is not suitable for children to drink yogurt frequently, and parents should pay more attention.

1. What are the benefits of soy milk?

Compared with fresh milk, the protein content of soy milk is similar, but the vitamin B2 content is only 1/3 of that of fresh milk, and the content of vitamins A and C is zero. Although the iron content is higher, the calcium content is only half of that of fresh milk.

But soy milk contains high-quality plant protein, fat and vitamins, among which the content of lecithin and vitamin E is higher than that of milk, so long-term drinking can regulate blood lipids, protect the liver, prevent vascular sclerosis and promote thinking. In addition, soy milk has the highest nutrient absorption rate and can absorb 98% of the nutrients in beans.

2. The best time to drink soy milk powder

As for soy milk, although its calcium content is low, it is less likely to cause any adverse reactions due to its high iron content, so there are not many people who generally contraindicate it. But overall, soy milk is most suitable for middle-aged and elderly people with relatively obese bodies, rather than children who are in the process of growth and development.

There are no other special requirements, but remember: soy milk is best cooked thoroughly before drinking, because the trypsin inhibitor contained in fresh soy milk needs to be boiled for 3 to 5 minutes to be broken down.

3. Precautions for drinking soy milk powder

It is not good to leave the cooked soy milk in the bottle for a long time without drinking it, because the soluble saponin contained in the soy milk can dissolve the scale in the bottle. The "soy milk scale solution" produced after the soy milk dissolves will harm your health.

Its effects include: 1. Moisturizing the intestines and promoting bowel movements. Soy milk can enhance gastrointestinal motility and solve constipation problems in the elderly. 2. Diuretic and dehumidifying, reducing the chance of edema in the body. 3. Lose weight: the unsaturated fatty acids in soy milk can break down cholesterol in the body, promote metabolism, and prevent fat from accumulating. It is a very good weight loss food.

It is beneficial for adults to consume soy milk regularly, but we do not recommend it for children because soy milk contains phytoestrogens, which can harm the child's future sexual development and greatly increase the chance of developing thyroid and reproductive system diseases in adulthood. Therefore, it is better for children not to drink soy milk.
