Edamame has always been a popular item among the Japanese restaurants and at home. More recently, edamame has become the center
of attention among American consumers as various tests have provided evidence that nutrients contained in Edamame can actually help
lower the risk of coronary heart diseases, prevent cancers, and fight symptoms of menopause and osteoporosis. Low in fat
and high in protein, Edamame is often used as a meat substitute by those who are watching their weight. Studies have
also indicated that consumption of Edamame protein as compared to other proteins from milk or meat has been proven
to lower cholesterol level. So why not change your diet and replenish your body with the essential, healthy fats your body
needs, as opposed to the saturated fats your body does not need!! Edamame comes in an unbeatable shell or pod, and
its ease of preparation and snack like feature provides for an attractive alternative to unhealthy junk food like chips or
popcorn. What's more, food like Edamame can be as effective as pharmaceuticals in treating the symptoms of certain
diseases and with fewer side effects!! Moreover, one acre of soybeans produces 30 times more protein than one acre
of land devoted to raising beef. By eating more Edamame, you will thus be protecting our environment!
Edamame has been Asia Foods' main product since its establishment and today the Company is both the leader in
Edamame processing and one of the largest exporters to Japan and the USA market. Following are the key findings
that some scientists have discovered so far, and with more yet to come!
- Nutrition:
Edamame is the only vegetable that contains as much protein, fat and carbohydrates as fish and meat. It also has high level of calcium, zinc, copper, potassium, fiber, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, coenzyme-Q10; more vitamin A & E than fish, and as much vitamin C as oranges. It is just like a concentrated vegetable full of nutrients.
|
- Hot Flashes:
Edamame contains protein which carries isoflavones, the plant estrogens that scientists think may be an alternative to estrogen replacement therapy. Early clinical trials have already shown that soy protein reduces the severity of some menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. One cup of Edamame is roughly similar to one tablet of Premarin, an estrogen replacement synthesized from mare urine. In addition, peptides (fragments of protein) produced in the process of decomposition of protein have been found to contain powerful ingredients that can reduce blood pressure.
|
- Heart Disease Risk Reduction:
Edamame has been proven to reduce the cholesterol level during experiments and thus lower the risk of heart diseases. Indeed, there is substantial evidence that consuming 25grams of soy protein daily can lower total and LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels. In fall of 1999, Food and Drug Administration of USA has approved the labeling "reduces the risk of coronary heart disease" on soy products.
|
- Antioxidants:
Scientists have discovered certain compounds in Edamame that can actually help protect your cells against free radical damage. Soy provides a bean boon for the prevention of heart disease, many forms of cancer, and premature aging.
|
- Naturally Keep Fit:
Edamame contains saponins which can suppress fat synthesis, prevent fat absorption, speed up the process of fat dissolving, and thus help keep our body healthy and fit.
|
- Activates Brain:
Edamame consists of lecithin which may help to dissolve cholesterol in blood vessels, activate brain and neural system and thus improve learning and thinking abilities.
|
- Boost Immunity:
Edamame contains protease inhibitors, phytosterols, saponins, and isoflavones. The combined effects of these chemical elements can help to improve our immune system and prevent us from getting diseases as well as prepare us to better fight diseases.
|
- Cancer:
Scientists have discovered five cancer-fighting compounds in soy - genistein, phytic acids, saponins, protease inhibitors, and isoflavones. Recent studies show that soy foods lower the risk of lung, prostate, breast, and colon cancer.
|
- Osteoporosis:
Japanese woman eat plenty of soy and have half the rate of hip fractures than American woman, who eat mostly animal protein. Studies show that you can actually retain more calcium and increase bone density when you keep your daily protein intake in a healthy range by eating soy instead of meat or dairy.
