A food that few people expect to be beneficial for liver health

Kiều Vũ (Theo ALF) |

Tofu is made from soybeans and is one of the foods that are said to be beneficial for liver health.

First of all, tofu is a very good source of antioxidants, especially from compounds in soybeans such as isoflavones. Isoflavones are a form of flavonoid that can reduce inflammation and protect liver cells from damage caused by free radicals. Research shows that isoflavones have a liver-protective effect, helping to reduce the risk of chronic liver diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Consuming soybeans helps reduce liver fat levels and improve liver function in people who are obese or have fatty liver disease. Compounds in soybeans can help improve blood lipid ratio and reduce hepatitis.

In addition, tofu is also a source of high-quality protein but low in fat and contains no cholesterol. For the liver, consuming plant protein instead of animal protein can help reduce the liver's burden. A diet rich in plant protein can reduce the risk of liver disease and support the recovery of liver function.

Another factor to mention is that tofu is also rich in vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and iron. These substances all play an important role in maintaining the health of organs in the body, including the liver. Balancing these nutrients can help the liver work more effectively in purifying the body and detoxifying.

There are also concerns that phytoestrogens in soybeans can affect liver function, but studies show that phytoestrogens do not have any worrying side effects on the liver; in fact, they can bring benefits to overall health. According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, there is no evidence that phytoestrogen is harmful to the liver.
