SOYBEANS -- SECRET OF NO SICKNESS, GOOD HEALTH AND LONG LIFE

SOYBEANS -- SECRET OF NO SICKNESS, GOOD HEALTH AND LONG LIFE

Japanese ‘Soy Protein Diet’ vs. American ‘Meat Protein Diet’:

1. Japanese – longest lifespan of any nationality;
2. Japanese - lower rates of colon cancer and lung cancer than Americans;
3. Japan has the lowest rate of death from heart disease for men in the world and the 2nd lowest for women;
4. American women are 4 times more likely to die from breast cancer than Japanese women;
5. American men are 5 times more likely to die from prostate cancer than Japanese men;

Chinese ‘Soy Protein Diet’ vs. American ‘Meat Protein Diet’:

1. The Chinese are said to be “singularly free from several of our most deadly disease such as CVDs, cancers and diabetes” ;
2. Chinese men have one-tenth (1/10th) the rate of heart disease as American men;
3. Chinese women die from breast cancer at one-sixth (1/6th) the rate of American women, while in the U.S., 8 out of every 10 Americans will suffer from heart disease (CVD) or cancer at some point in their lifetimes;


Comparison of Japanese-Chinese and American consumptions of soy protein:

1. The Japanese eat 50 – 80 grams of soy a day in different forms, e.g., soy milk, tofu, tempeh, natto, miso, soy sauce, kinnoko flour, soy oil, etc.;
2. Chinese diet is 95% vegetable protein esp. soybeans and only 5% animal protein (meat);
3. Americans eat only 5 grams of soy food daily, hidden or mixed in foods;
4. American protein is at least 55% animal protein (meat) and only 45 plant protein; In some estimates, animal protein consumption by Americans is placed at 2/3 of the total protein consumption!

Conclusion:
The American diet is “high-fat” because of the protein largely obtained from animal meat. The Japanese and Chinese diet is “low-fat” because they obtain their need of protein from plants especially soybeans.

The Chinese diet of 95% soy protein and only 5% animal protein makes the Chinese almost vegetarian. The soybean is the most important legume and source of protein in the Chinese diet. For centuries, the soybean, a legume native of China, has served practically the sole source of protein for the Chinese people, while Americans receive the bulk of their protein from meat, milk, eggs and cheese.

“China gives a wonderful illustration [read: example] of the effects on the human race of a vegetarian diet over a long period of time. In fact, the state of nutritional equilibrium which has been attained in eastern Asia on a vegetarian diet is unique and could no doubt serve as [a model or inspiration].”
- Dr. A.K. Smith, U.S. Department of Agriculture

A vegetarian diet containing soybeans is in many ways more healthy than a meat diet when you consider the fact that presently, the Chinese are said to be singularly free from several of our most deadly diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

Both soy protein and animal protein are classified as complete proteins, containing all the essential amino acids. But soy protein is better because (1) it contains half the calories of beef (230 calories versus 470), hence you can eat more quantity of soy products without the danger of accumulating too many calories which, being not burned into energy by sedentary people, are stored as fats, making people obese; obesity or stored fats are feeds to the triumvirate diseases of CVDs, cancer and diabetes; and because 2) soy beans contain none of the saturated fats and cholesterol that animal protein contains; hence, soy protein help lower cholesterol and saturated fats levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.”

“A plant-based diet (especially soy) clearly leads to a stronger immune system…” that leads to disease-free or disease-less health and long life.
- Dr. Jau-Fei Chen, U.S. scientist, Nutritional Immunologist

Fact: Animal protein (fat) found or mixed in animal meat is linked to CVDs, cancers and diabetes. Fats are feeds to cancer cells.

Solution: Shift to plant protein. Replace your animal protein (found in meat fats) with soy protein.

FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. God’s Health Menu

From God’s Word, especially in the Old Testament, we come to know that His menu for mankind consists of (1) seeds (e.g., grains, legumes, nuts, etc.); (2) fruits with seeds in them – Genesis 1:29; (3) the clean meat enumerated in Leviticus 11; and (4) diligent work for six days a week to keep us healthy by keeping on burning, as exercise does, the calories or energy contained in the food we ate or else these unused calories would deposit as fats (obesity) and would cause CVDs as well as serve as feeds of cancers and diabetes. Secondly, sweating in work or exercise helps eliminate the dirts and poisons from our body, thus, keeping our body free from diseases.

With this formula and short guideline, plus the 10 Commandments, we could already build a strong foundation for our health and long life.

So, our approach is preventive, before sickness can occur. And examples of preventive, pro-active approach are: 1) obedience to God’s laws; and suiting our article, 2) diet.

So we say:

“Eat right before the doctor comes in and gives you an expensive hospital bill!
Don’t wait for treatment time, start at eating time!”

“Junk foods and empty calories may seem to be cheap and affordable at buying time, but at disease-reaping time, they are found to be so expensive and costly, especially when health is lost and life is the cost!”
“Diet is proactive and preventive.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Medicine to cure, including herbal, is quite reactive…and oftentimes too late.”

“Diet before tablet.”

“Diet, not Rx!”


2. Shift to plant protein especially soy beans. This is what you can do for yourself.

Wisdom’s Rule of the Thumb: Eat right before the doctor comes in and gives you an expensive hospital bill! Don’t wait for treatment time, start at eating time!

Junk foods and empty calories may seem to be cheap and affordable at buying time, but at disease-reaping time, they are found to be so expensive and costly, especially when health is lost and life is the cost!

As the Bible says, “Do not trust your tongue. Your tongue is a DANGER ZONE!” (Apostle James).

The tongue is blind, has no eyes. Therefore, if the blind is let to lead the other blind, both will fall into the ditch. Let the eyes see and let the head lead. Never completely trust your tongue.

We have a head that can receive revelation (guide) from God as to what is good and what is evil, what is safe and what is not. “Ask [guidance] and it shall be given, seek [guidance] and you shall find it, knock and it shall be opened.”

I hope this article will help you.

Godspeed!
