You must follow these steps to drink soy milk.

Introduction: We almost drink soy milk every morning, especially in winter, a warm cup of soy milk drives away the cold in our bodies. But did you know that not everyone is suitable for drinking soy milk? Let's follow the editor to learn more about soy milk!

1. Soy milk is cool in nature. People with indigestion, burping, or poor kidney function should drink it less. In addition, patients with acute gastritis and chronic superficial gastritis should not eat soy products to avoid excessive stimulation of gastric acid secretion, which can worsen the condition or cause bloating.

2. Do not add brown sugar to soy milk, because brown sugar contains various organic acids that combine with the proteases in soy milk, making it difficult for the body to absorb. Adding white sugar will not have this phenomenon.

3. Some people like to use a thermos to keep soy milk warm, but this method is not advisable because the warm and humid inner environment of a thermos is very conducive to bacterial growth. In addition, the saponins in soy milk can also dissolve the scale in the thermos, which is harmful to human health.

4. Since soy milk is made from soybeans, and soybeans contain a high amount of purine and are considered a "cool" food, people with symptoms of gout, fatigue, weakness, and mental exhaustion (those with a "deficient-cold" constitution) are not suitable for drinking soy milk.

5. Soy milk must not only be boiled but also cooked with the pot lid open. This is because only with the lid open can the harmful substances in the soy milk be volatilized with the water vapor.

6. Soy milk must not be taken with antibiotics such as erythromycin, as they will have a chemical reaction. It is best to have an interval of more than 1 hour between drinking soy milk and taking antibiotics.

7. When drinking soy milk often, pay attention to supplementing zinc. Legumes contain inhibitors, saponins, and lectins, which are all harmful to the human body. The best way to deal with them is to cook the soy milk thoroughly. People who consume soy milk long-term should not forget to supplement the trace element zinc.

Note:

When drinking soy milk, it is best not to add sugar or honey. If you find plain soy milk not very tasty, we recommend a "Longevity Five-Bean Soy Milk" for you. This is made by mixing soybeans, black beans, green beans, peas, and peanuts in a 1:1:1:1:1 ratio. Soak them for 0.5 to 1 hour, wash them, and then blend them with an appropriate amount of water. Bring to a boil and it's ready to drink.
