RealAge Tip of the Day

Feels Soy Good

Improved cholesterol levels and better heart health are not the only

benefits of eating soy. Preliminary reports suggest soy may help dull pain,

too.

In animal studies, moderate blood levels of phytoestrogens appeared to

reduce sensitivity to certain kinds of pain. Phytoestrogens are plant

compounds found in high concentrations in soy and soy products. A diet that

includes moderate amounts of soy may be helpful particularly to people

suffering from chronic, painful inflammation or swelling.

RealAge Benefit: Eating a diverse diet that is low in calories and high in

nutrients can make your RealAge as much as 4 years younger.
