Soy is Good for Your Heart

Soy foods can lower your risk of heart disease by helping to reduce both your total cholesterol and your LDL ("bad" cholesterol). Adding 25 grams of soy to your diet every day, the amount shown to lower your risk for heart disease, is easy! Try soy milk on your cereal, or splash it into your morning tea or coffee. Soy nuts are delicious on salad and give it a little bit of extra crunch. Or be creative the next time you host a dinner and try soybeans edamame-style as an appetizer.
