2) Lower
Cholesterol Levels: A 2010 study published
in the Journal of Agricultural and
Food Chemistry examined the effect of blueberry juice byproducts on hamsters that
consumed a
high - fat diet.
A diet
high in saturated fat — found
in meats, butter, and dairy — ups your risk of
high cholesterol, as does
consuming a lot of
foods high in cholesterol, such as beef and full - fat milk products.
And for a vegan bodybuilder who must unfortunatelly play tetris with the
food sources that he choses
in order to give to his body the right ammounts of aminos, restricting SPI and soy
foods so much does not make his goal any easier.There are sometimes that you need a meal thats complete with aminos and soy provides that meal with the additional benefits of lacking the saturated fats trans
cholesterol and other endothelium inflammatory factors.I'm not saying that someone should go all the way to 200gr of SPI everyday or
consuming a kilo of soy everyday but some servings of soy now and then even every day or the use of SPI which helps
in positive nitrogen balance does not put you
in the cancer risk team, thats just OVERexaggeration.Exercise, exposure to sunlight, vegan diet or for those who can not something as close to vegan diet, fruits and vegetables which contains lots of antioxidants and phtochemicals, NO STRESS which is the global killer, healthy social relationships, keeping your cortisol and adrenaline levels down (except the necessary times), good sleep and melatonin function, clean air, no radiation, away from procceced
foods and additives like msg etc and many more that i can not even remember is the key to longevity.As long as your immune system is functioning well and your natural killer cells TP53 gene and many other cancer inhibitors are good and well, no cancer will ever show his face to you.With that logic we shouldn't eat ANY ammount of protein and we should go straight to be breatharians living only with little water and sunlight exposure cause you like it or not the raise of IGF1 is inevitable i know that raise the IGF1 sky
high MAYBE is not the best thing but we are not talking about external hormones and things like this.Stabby raccoon also has a point.And even if you still worry about the consumption of soy... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21711174.
Eat as much as you like as the body compensates for the amount of
cholesterol consumed in food, and
cholesterol does not cause heart disease anymore than firefighters cause fires, what causes heart disease is inflammation caused by Processed carbohydrates, processed oils and sugars
in other words processed
foods, they have now proved that the
higher your
cholesterol the longer you live and the more intelligent you are.
Certain
foods and fiber are important
in holding
cholesterol down so you should make sure your fiber intake is good see: http://nutritionfacts.org/video/beans-beans-good-for-your-heart is possible that you are
consuming processed
foods with
high fructose corn syrup
in many products including fruit juices (these can drive up Triglycerides which can elevate total
cholesterol.
