5.Loads of Potassium
A cup of soybeans has a whopping 886 milligrams of potassium. That’s about double what you get in a medium-sized banana, and as much as one-third of what your body needs for the whole day. That could be important because many Americans don’t get enough of this mineral, which your body needs to do pretty much everything, including for your heart to beat, your kidneys to filter waste, and for your nerves to work.
6.IronVegetarians need to double up on iron because their bodies don’t absorb it as well from plant sources. A cup of soybeans has about 9 milligrams of iron, which among its many jobs helps your blood deliver oxygen throughout your body. Men need about 8 milligrams or iron a day, and women need 18 milligrams.
