By Mayra Horner


Menopause is that stage when woman ovaries stop producing estrogen. This may be from 45-55 years though others experience it early or even later in their life time. Sometimes it does not apply to all women. It has been noted that ladies who experience their menopausal symptoms early take too long than their counter parts. However, menopause relief with soyis recommended by many medical experts.

Despite having been proven to relief menopause symptoms, not all soy products are useful. However, when using them one has to be aware of these effects that they are going to have on their bodies. Soybeans are known to have high level of phytic acid than other legumes or grains.

This acid usually limits the body from absorbing minerals like calcium, zinc, iron and magnesium. This can worsen the situation especially to those people who have high levels of anxiety during this period due to low level of zinc deficiency. This can also lead to depression and uncontrolled anxiety levels.

On the other hand, most women during this period usually experience a bone loss condition called Osteoporosis. At this age women are prone to bone fractures due to the low levels of estrogen in their bodies. That is why using soy products can help maintain healthy and strong bones by increasing estrogen levels in the body.

Excessive sweating is another menopause symptom which affects almost every woman in this age bracket. This is caused by decrease in estrogen hormone levels. This affects the brain and the nervous system to an extend that one cannot concentrate or have a good night sleep. This eventually leads to excessive sweating during the night.

Daily consumption of soy products can lower ones risk of developing heart problems. This is because soy lowers the cholesterol levels thus providing a healthy heart. Normally the recommended daily soy consumption should be 25 grams since high intake has been associated with digestive system disorders.

On the other hand using soy beans oil when cooking purposes can lead to weight gain. This is according to a research which was conducted on the product by Maryland Medical Center. Women who are overweight during their menopause are not advised to use soybean oil in their diet in order to avoid chronic inflammation which may lead to heart complications.

In the United States most soy beans are genetically modified. This means that they can withstand any kind of pesticide that may be used to kill the pests without harming the plant itself. This simply means that a lot of people may be exposing themselves to carcinogens without knowing. This can pose a lot of health problem to our bodies than we thought. To void exposure to these harmful chemicals, it is recommended to use the organic soy beans.
