Harvard tofu-based diet

Tofu is a nutritious soybean product that is obtained by coagulating the protein of soy milk when heated or filtered. It has a neutral flavor, so it is universally used in the kitchen.

According to a study conducted by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital (USA), tofu and foods rich in isoflavones reduce the risk of heart disease.

According to information published in the journal Circulation, scientists analyzed data from more than 200,000 healthy people who participated in three prospective studies on health and nutrition. They found that eating tofu once a week reduces the risk of heart disease by 18 percent, compared to a 12 percent reduction in those who eat it once a month.

It should be noted that the best results were observed especially in young women who had not reached menopause, as well as in postmenopausal women who did not take hormones.
