There are some people who cannot digest and consume cow's milk. This is due to the intolerance of lactose. Soy milk could be a healthier alternative. It is made out of beans that are soaked overnight. The solids are strained out and the liquid so obtained is boiled for 10 minutes.
It can also be very easily prepared at home. It contains extra fibre and high quality protein. It is rich in vegetable protein. It contains no lactose. The presence of prebiotic sugars helps to improve the immunity of the body. This also helps in reducing the body's toxic substances.
It has also been found that fewer people are allergic to it as compared to cow's milk. Also, cow's milk contains saturated fats. This is considered to be unhealthy as it increases the cholesterol levels in the body. It is particularly rich in Isoflavones. This is the most distinguishing feature of soy milk. Isoflavones are antioxidants that help in protecting our cells from oxidation. Even they protect the DNA from oxidation too. They are found to be helpful in reducing the risk of cancer (prostate cancer and breast cancer), osteoporosis and reduction in cholesterol levels. Soy based diet is even safe for diabetic patients.
The only downfall of it is that it lacks calcium. However, the need of calcium could be fulfilled by other dairy products (if one is able to handle), nuts like almonds and vegetables. It is though, not fat free but comparatively low in fat as compared to cow's milk. It can be easily incorporated in our daily diet and recipes.
