When ladies are 45 years and above they are faced by various complications. Though some do not, majority of women undergo through menopause stage where they are forced to fight some changes which are inevitable. Research has shown how ladies can use natural soy products to deal with these symptoms but it turned out that high intake of these foods have effects to their bodies.

Despite having been proven to relief menopause symptoms, not all soy products are useful. However, when using them one has to be aware of these effects that they are going to have on their bodies. Soybeans are known to have high level of phytic acid than other legumes or grains.

Using soy products during this period can help reduce hot flashes experienced during this period by increasing the level of estrogen in the body. This ensures that the body has been supplied with the recommended level of estrogen for it to function well. This helps one get through over this effects and live a normal life.

Despite the fact that soy is high in lean protein it has protease and typsin inhibitors which make protein digestion difficult. This can in turn reduce the level of amino acids in our bodies. This is why a lot of people complain about digestion complications when they consume soy products. To get over this problem, soaking the soy beans prior to cooking can help reduce the effects.

Soy is known to increase estrogen levels in our bodies. Estrogen is a female hormone that helps contribute to secondary characteristics like breast growth. Consumption of the products in large quantities will increase the hormone and it may eventually lead to hormonal imbalance. This can reduce the fertility in women who experience these symptoms early and may be planning to have babies.

Daily consumption of soy products can lower ones risk of developing heart problems. This is because soy lowers the cholesterol levels thus providing a healthy heart. Normally the recommended daily soy consumption should be 25 grams since high intake has been associated with digestive system disorders.

On the other hand using soy beans oil when cooking purposes can lead to weight gain. This is according to a research which was conducted on the product by Maryland Medical Center. Women who are overweight during their menopause are not advised to use soybean oil in their diet in order to avoid chronic inflammation which may lead to heart complications.

To obtain maximum results one should ensure that they concentrate more on the traditional soy foods like tamari, miso and tempeh among others. This is because they have enough isoflavones which will be naturally supplied to the body thus reducing some of these complications. In case one develops digestion complication or have effects when using soy products it is always recommended to stop its use and seek medical attention so that the doctor can examine you and recommend the best products which are safer.
