Phytoestrogens against fatty deposits! Losing weight after 40 is now easy.

At the age of 40-45 years, a woman’s body undergoes rapid changes. It seems that a month ago everything was fine, and suddenly there were fat folds on the sides and under the arms.





In fact, nobody will be able to avoid this fate, even athletes who have devoted their entire adult life to sports. Fat begins to be unevenly redistributed throughout the body due to a number of factors.

Health, and especially the beauty of a woman, directly depends on the concentration of sex hormones. Of these, the leading role is played by estrogens, which are called the main female hormones.





The production of these hormones decreases significantly after 40 years and almost stops after 50 years with the onset of menopause. It is at this age that most women begin to contact various specialists about increased blood pressure, joint pain and problems with excess weight.





The explanation is simple. The female body, preparing for menopause, is rebuilt under it, and hormonal changes redistribute subcutaneous fat with an increase in its amount. Such an increase in fat is required by the body, since when the ovaries reduce the production of sex hormones (estrogen), this function is taken over by adipose tissue.

    In the countries of Southeast Asia, a large amount of soybeans are traditionally used for food. Conclusions were made about the connection of high health indicators with soybean consumption. The debate is still ongoing. However, soy is really rich in isoflavones - genistein and daizein, and its sprouts - glycitein.

    Soybeans and nuts, textured vegetarian protein, tofu, soy milk and soy yogurt, fermented tempe soy drink, miso soup, soy protein powder - all contain plant-estrogens, which for certain indications is very useful to include in the daily diet.
