Introduction:The focus on healthy eating is found in the bottom level of the food pyramid, which includes fiber-rich grains, and in the second level, which includes vegetables and beans. Beans have been called the “meat of the poor,” a metaphor consistent with the inverse relationship between bean consumption and income. Now, more attention is paid to food that is rich in nutrients and proves healthy for the body. The prime example of this is “soy” (Table 1), which is the only dietary source of a group of phytochemicals called isoflavones (ISF). Soybeans contain complex carbohydrates, plant proteins, dietary fiber, oligosaccharides, phytochemicals (especially soy isoflavones), and minerals. Their complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber content contribute to their low glycemic indices, which benefit diabetics (15) and reduce the risk of developing diabetes (27). Soy protein is now recognized as a “complete” protein, with a protein digestibility – corrected amino acid score of 1, equivalent to the gold standard such as egg albumin (39). Soy protein contains all the amino acids essential for human nutrition, making soy products almost equivalent to animal sources in terms of protein quality, but with less saturated fat and no cholesterol (18)]. Soy foods have been consumed for centuries in Asian countries, causing significantly less carcinogenic effects and other chronic diseases than in Western countries. Soy Isoflavones Isoflavones have been proposed to be the active component responsible for the beneficial effects of soy foods and appear to work synergistically. with proteins that protect against cancer, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Isoflavones are a subclass of the more ubiquitous fla...... middle of paper ......which attracts attention from both the public and healthcare professionals. Soy, a complete protein with a low glycemic index, has proven to be a good alternative to animal proteins by reversing or slowing the progression of established kidney disease (3). Meal studies have also indicated that soy proteins do not alter postprandial renal blood flow or glomerular filtration rate, compared to animal proteins (24). A large field of interest has also occupied the overactive bladder (OAB), characterized by the involuntary contraction of the detrusor when the bladder is full, regardless of the desire for inhibition, resulting in frequent urination. Related studies revealed that a premixed mixture of pumpkin seed extract and soybean germ extract was able to improve urinary incontinence (Shim et al., 2014 28). Therefore, soy isoflavones alone or in combination may result in improved quality of life.
