7.Ease Blood Pressure
Making soy a regular part of your diet may help you avoid high blood pressure, aka hypertension. To start with, soy packs a lot of protein but few carbs, a mix that seems to help bring your blood pressure down. Also, soy itself could help lower systolic blood pressure — the top number — by 2 to 5 points. That may not seem like much, but it could cut your odds of a stroke by as much as 14%.
8.Stronger Bones
Some women can lose a lot of bone mass after menopause. That makes your bones more brittle and more likely to break. Doctors often prescribe estrogen to treat this and other symptoms of menopause. Isoflavones, a plant chemical common in soy foods, seem to mimic the effects of estrogen. Some research suggests that isoflavones may help strengthen bones in women who’ve had menopause.
