SOYA BEAN – HEALTH TIPS

All of us know that Soya bean drink provides good
protein to our body... but many of us don't know that
there are certain days we should avoid drinking it.

Soya bean drinks are best consumed on hot sunny
days when the sun is strong. The soya milk will give
lots of nutrients to the body as the body is able to
absorb the protein well.

However, avoid the drink when the weather is cloudy
or raining . Taking the drink in that weather, the body
will not be able to take in the protein and will result in
a disease called ' GOUT '  or ' high acidic urine ' due to
the high protein residue in the body, after a long run.

This disease will cause pain to your knee joints and it
will only be in control when you control your food intake
of proteins and medication. The pain is unbearable and
usually you will have no idea what you have taken to
cause the pain.
Food like soya beans, anchovies, broccoli, spinach,
peanuts, & nesp animal organs etc should be avoided
to prevent the pain from attacking.

So my friend, pass this to your family,
relatives and friends to keep an  alert
on the pros and cons of soya bean milk
and when it  is to be taken and to be avoided....
