Soyabean, Good Bad & Ugly:10 Truths Why it’s Not in my Kitchen(Almost)

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on December 2, 2018 69

I have a history with Soya bean, good bad and ugly. When I got married in 2008, my hubby and I, both were doing our postgraduate training. Due to erratic schedules, we often ended up eating late. My favorite snack was a glass of cold milk and a cream biscuit. Now, this came to such a pass that I was having 1 liter of milk a day. Skimmed milk was not always available. Plus the packaged variety was expensive. We were med students saving money for our own home.

But I was gaining weight. This I didn’t like. Because that meant restricted eating out and no chocolates. So I thought I will shift to soymilk. A very popular brand had delicious chocolate flavored variety. I loved it.

Decreased dairy. Started soya bean diet. Great, soya milk benefits, right?Not really.

Back then I didn’t really research what I was putting in my body,even after being a doctor.That’s the power of shiny advertising.. Luckily my hubby was more aware. Back then soya was the greatest high protein health food. A dream food.Cheap and high-quality, with only a few high-quality research talking about the negatives. There is more source of hidden soya that you never knew. The effect of soya the good bad and ugly has as many stories, as there are stars in the sky.

The 3 main things which determine the effect of soya :
The 10 truths about soya bean nutrition

The 3 main things which determine the effect of soya :

Amount: Not more than 6 grams per day(1 teaspoon roughly)
Type of soya: Fermentation products are preferred
Age: Better avoid in children until discussed with a pediatrician.

The 10 truths about soya bean nutrition

#Truth 1:The Good of soya: soyabean benefits

Cheap high-quality protein source useful for supplementing protein requirement for certain at risk people..
May help in improving bone health in postmenopausal women(controversial).
Maybe protective against breast cancer and prostate cancer.Research is going on.
Helps with certain perimenopausal and menopausal problems.Soy sauce,miso tempeh,tofu are the products which are helpful when used in moderation.

# Truth 2 :Hidden soy in your daily diet?
Next soya shock.Since it’s a cheap source of first-class protein. In fact, it’s the only plant source of complete protein. It’s added in many packaged food which shows enhanced protein content. You have more soya in your diet than you knew. It’s present in paneer chunks (they will not tell you) and many packaged bakery products, including instant noodles.

#Truth 3: What’s soya bean ?The Bad and the ugly of soya.
The bean of soya is used to make soya oil, tofu, soya lecithin(added in baby food), soya milk.The soya that you eat is a byproduct of soya oil and was initially used strictly as animal feed,chickens, turkeys, pigs, cows, and even fish.That’s the bad part of soya.

Soya is a known common food allergen. Food allergies never go away. They just become worse and you don’t know why.

Soyabean:Good ,bad & Ugly .I will tell you why its not in my kitchen. — Soybean: Good, Bad & Ugly. I will tell you why it’s not in my kitchen.

The soya bean plant due to its high-quality nitrogen was used to improve soil quality during rotation of crops.In Asian countries, it has been used for centuries but mostly as fermented products. Soya sauce, miso, tempeh. But even in China, Japan they don’t have more than 8 gram of soya product per day.

What does soya have?

Protein
Phytestrogens
Phytates and other antinutrients(nutrient blockers)

#Truth 4 :Is soya processed food?

Soya protein isolates need:

Acid wash
Alkaline baths
Heat
Hexane extraction and much more.

The journey to isolate the soya protein makes it impossible to digest. It can get rid of many but not all the antinutrients. Imagine what’s going into your body as soya nuggets and soya chaap!

In a diet where soya is the main protein source, FDA suggests fortification with extra methionine, lysine, vitamins, and mineral. So does that make this a good option?Not really.

#Truth 5: Nutrient blockers

Soya has certain nutrient blockers

These are compounds which prevent your body from utilizing certain nutrients present in soya and other food.

Enzyme inhibitor:Phytates

These compounds are present in most beans and pulses. They form insoluble complexes with calcium iron zinc , iodine and prevents their absorption in the body. Soya has the highest Phytates among most grains and pulses.It does not break down with soaking or slow cooking(The way we remove Phytates from pulses)The only way to break it down is Fermentation. Soya milk, soya nuggets, soya granules, and soya dust have high Phytate levels.

The raw soya product is horrible to taste and smell. They add artificial flavorings, preservatives, sweeteners, emulsifiers, and synthetic nutrients. The cattle feed makes a tasty meat substitute for us. Just imagine.Doesn’t it make you want to take out every bit of soya from your kitchen? I did.

My kitchen is a Soya Free zone(almost)

Free from soya nuggets, chunks, soya dust or soya milk-even those promoted by celebs. But soy sauce, miso, tempeh has much fewer problems and are useful sources of phytoestrogen for perimenopausal and menopausal women.Tofu is in between these two as it is formed by a separate process.So yes, you can still have these .I do but in moderation.

# Truth 6:Soy milk

Soya milk benefits are a myth. Soy milk is the fastest way to obesity, hypothyroidism. When you have tasty soya milk it’s very easy to drink a lot. That way our daily soy intake is more than the amount recommended in a year.

# Truth 7 Health problems by overuse of soya

Thyroid problems

Male infertility. Lower spermatogenesis counts in men on a majorly soya-based diet. Lower testosterone.
Irregular menstrual bleeding, endometriosis polyps
Kidney stones: Soya also has oxalate which with calcium forms insoluble compounds and cause kidney stones.
Brain atrophy. Research is going on regarding nature and process.

# Truth 8 :Soya in case of kids

Soya is present as the major protein source in most of the low lactose baby formulas.They are recommended when there is severe lactose intolerance and the child needs the nutrition ,nay which way. Don’t ever forget to read the label. Should you give soya to children? Soya has phytoestrogens. The good which protects against hot flushes can cause many problems in children. It’s like giving them growth hormone ( HGH) supplementation.

All problems in adults are exacerbated in children. Baby girls may show sign of puberty very early. Cases of puberty happening at 3 years has made doctors careful about giving soy-based baby food.

I stopped drinking my favorite chocolate soya milk. Soya has a market share of 2 million in 1980 and 1 billion in the USA now. Do you think they are going to stop producing something which is making them rich? Do you think the people who produce soya milk drink it?

Think again. Moderation is always the key. Soya is not great, but it’s not evil in small amounts. The problem is knowing the right kind to have and in the right amount. What’s your opinion on the good bad and ugly of soya? Comment below to let me know.

Sewing to Financial freedom and you can too #WATWB #Projectwhy

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on December 1, 2018 9

When I first started blogging, four years back I was ecstatic. This was the way to end India’s economic challenges.I am a diehard optimist.B ut I realized something. Blogging is not for everyone. It’s not the kind of skill that has a turnkey monetization. But if you could teach something or encourage people to share their skills online? That could be an interesting social experiment.

But how will they reach millions worldwide? Thats where you can help. Maybe you have a skill, something you can teach, which can help someone. Maybe you could share your lessons on your YouTube video, through your blog or Podcast? Maybe you could start something in your neighborhood?

In India, the Government is trying to encourage beti bachao beti parao. They are trying to give social security, food security, life insurance, medical insurance, skill training, and special benefits for women entrepreneurship. But they still need our help to cross hurdles. This Project Why is a chance to make a difference now.

MEET RENU, THE PROJECT WHY SEWING TEACHER

Six years ago, when Renu Karotia joined the Project Why Sewing Circle, her husband had lost his job due to a work accident, her family had lost their home and incurred huge debts. After joining the Project Why sewing class, she started taking small jobs at home. She then grew into the role of the sewing teacher and began taking pride in her students.

Renu is now repaying her debts. Holding the keys, rather the sewing machine to her future has given her confidence that few other things could. Her children study at the after-school support classes run by Project Why.

PROJECT WHY ACTIVITIES

Project WHY is a flagship program of Sri Ram Goburdhun Charitable Trust, that provides educational support to underprivileged children. This after-school support program goes beyond academics, to include life skills and all-around development.

Project WHY also runs vocational skill programs for women from underprivileged homes. Every year this nonprofit reaches out to 1200 children and 160 women.

Since 2007, over 1000 women have been trained at the Project Why Sewing Circle.

WHAT IS NEEDED

Today Renu, the sewing teacher, is looking at developing the skills of her students through a six-month program. This will enable them to find employment in the garment industry.

To this end, Project Why needs the following:

Iron 1000/-

Interlocking machine 4400/-

Pico machine 5600/-

Ironing board 2000/-

Cutting table 4000/-

6-month salary for Renu 60,000/-

Total amount needed: 77,000/-

WHY YOU SHOULD DONATE

Women are true agents of change and helping them find the means to earn a livelihood goes a long way in transforming the lives of their families. At Project Why, Renu and her students not only practice sewing but also learn to read and write. When women are empowered, domestic violence drops, and the next generations gain access to better education.

14 Reasons you hate the word Thankful:Life’s like that(Inspired by Readers Digest)

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on November 29, 2018 2

Thankful Thursday is a popular category on my blog .I still write about thankfulness, but post it only when I want to.Does it make sense? May be it does ,may be it doesn’t .What matters is I like saying thank you .Life is a blessing and I feel blessed all the time.For every person I thank and every thing I am thankful for,I become a little happier.

14 Reasons you hate the word Thankful (7 is more common than you think!)

But you have not heard of thankfulness .You don’t like the word ?
It lacks X factor and doesn’t sound cool at all.
There’s nothing to be thankful for ,ever!
Life is too short for silly stuff .
You are not into vague spiritualism.
You don’t get the point of it.
You can’t cook Turkey and thankfulness needs roast turkey(confusion with Thanksgiving).
You are not of that particular faith ( confusion with Thanksgiving).
You don’t want the positive brain wave associated with thankfulness .
You think it’s all show and no substance.
You hate the word and tired of it being overused .
You love hating stuff .
You are against anything which makes your life better.
You don’t believe in mental and emotional health.

You pretend to hate Thankfulness but in your heart you are thankful.Because honestly being alive is reason to be Thankful .Thankfulness is a powerful emotional tool, to make you more happy and successful.

[bctt tweet=”It’s not that successful people who are happy ,its thankful people who are successful. #Thankful #Healthwealthbridge” username=”misra_amrita”]

Its a way of life,a choice to do the best for yourself ,a promise to your soul to always invite happiness and good fortune.If what you focus on grows,then you need to choose on what you want to grow in your life.This life and the one after will all be futile if you don’t decide to make the best of it.One way of doing this,is to keep an attitude to attract the blessings you need in your life.Attitude of Gratitude is serious buisiness,but it needs your commitment.

These are my favourite prompts to write on thankfulness and thankful notes .I believe you find what you seek.Thats why, being thankful works for me.What about you ?Are you a believer?

Hair Loss Myths and Facts:How to Control Hairfall?Reasons|Solutions

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on November 28, 2018 69

Hair loss myths and facts are a zillion-dollar industry. While I attempt to reveal the truths behind it, I plan to improve my hair health too. How to Control Hairfall? If you are not sure about the answer to this, you must read this and save your hard-earned money!

How to Control Hairfall?

Alopecia or hair fall has two forms, Scarring, and non-scarring. Non-scarring hair loss the hair shafts are gone. But the hair follicles remain. That’s the good news. This is why; non-scarring alopecia is a type of reversible hair loss. Scarring alopecia occurs due to some disease and has associated fibrosis (scarring), inflammation and loss of the hair follicles. If there is no hair follicle present, this kind of alopecia is more difficult to treat. A smooth scalp is seen with a reduced number of follicle openings. In some cases, only a biopsy helps identify the exact type of hair fall.

Hair fall reasons:

Skin disease, drugs, lifestyle factors, and systemic diseases can all be a direct cause or associated factor for hair loss.

Scarring alopecia: Skin causes: Cutaneous lupus, lichen planus, follicular decalvans, linear scleroderma, even traumatic.

Systemic disease like lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, cutaneous metastasis.

Non-scarring alopecia causes:

Primary skin disease: Alopecia areata, Telogen effluvium, Androgenetic alopecia, Tinea capitis, Traumatic alopecia.Systemic diseases: Lupus erythematosus secondary syphilis, thyroid disorders, both hyper and hypothyroidism, hypopituitarism, protein, deficiency of Iron, Biotin, Zinc.

Common drugs causing alopecia: warfarin, heparin, propylthiouracil, carbimazole, Vitamin A lithium, beta-blockers, amphetamine, isotretinoin acitretin. Spontaneous regrowth of hair can occur when you stop these drugs. Always consult your doctor before making any changes in your drugs.

Truths which you must know: Female hair loss occurs in androgenetic alopecia where there is an increase in the blood level of androgens most common in ovarian or adrenal gland dysfunction. If there are signs of virilization (male signs), such as deepened voice we have to rule out ovarian or adrenal gland tumor. Female pattern hair loss commonly doesn’t cause baldness. It may cause thinning of hair at top and front. It can occur anytime in life but more incidence postmenopausal period.

Alopecia areata is a type of patchy hair fall which can be confluent, or diffusion pattern Evidence of autoimmune reaction, against an unknown antigen of the hair follicle Like your body zone cells hits your hair hips

Alopecia areata is associated often, with other autoimmune disorders like generalized vitiligo, lichen planus, morphea, lichen sclerosus, pemphigus foliaceus, atopic dermatitis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, endemic goiter, Addison’s disease, pernicious anemia, lupus erythematosus, diabetes mellitus.

Hair Fall Treatment

The complete history of past and present diseases, drugs treatment received can help identify the cause.
Sometimes the nutritional state of the hair and skin are the first indicator of underlying disease.
Excessive hair loss should always be managed step by step in a planned manner for best results.
After identifying the cause, it gets easier to treat hair fall in both men and women — hair loss treatment when due to drugs can be treated by changing medicines where possible. Hair fall solution in case of thyroid disorders is to make the patient’s thyroid status normal. Some drugs used to treat hyperthyroidism may also cause hair fall. So careful balance and monitoring needed. Never use over the counter medication for chronic or acute hair fall without a specialist consultation. Dietary replenishment of good quality protein, iron, biotin, and zinc are essential. The egg is an excellent source of protein, biotin, iron and also contains Zinc.

This one is a zillion-dollar puzzle and industry. Traditional medical hair fall solutions are :

Minoxidil
Finasteride
Surgical transplantation New and promising treatments include Low-level Light therapy (Recently FDA approved. Lifestyle methods:
Regular sleep hygiene.
Proper nutritious diet
Reduce stress
Avoid harsh chemicals on hair
The right hair products, Dietary replenishment of good quality protein, iron, biotin, and zinc are essential. A balanced diet, good sleep habits, and a healthy lifestyle can help solve many hair-tearing worries.

Best Hair fall remedies which have worked for me

A balanced, nutritious diet rich in fruits and vegetables, with the right amount of protein.
I sleep for at least eight hours a day.
I avoid hair coloring, chemical treatments and heat treatments to hair.
I only use Coconut oil for my hair. I prefer oiling before shampoo, with warm oil once a week. This I keep for about two hours or sometimes overnight. I only use the tinned pure Shalimar Coconut oil, which is food grade. I always check the oil composition for any other I use. Coconut oil is the best hair fall control oil, as it has the right molecular weight and size to penetrate the hair shaft. It’s affordable, available and works well. This Vitamin E capsule works when used with coconut oil.
I like using curd on my hair, once a week before shampooing.
Shampooing once a week and washing with plain water in between if it gets too sticky. Excessive shampooing strips the scalp of its natural oils and makes hair rough and unmanageable.
I also like using a good Argan oil Hair mask or the Angtatva Hair mask once a week to reduce the frizz.
I have to use an occasional anti-frizz or the Moroccan hair serum to get rid of tangles mid-week.

The less trauma you cause, the more hair you have. I tried the Cysteine treatment, twice. It does improve the appearance and feel of the hair initially and make you ramp ready. But the frizz comes back worse than before. Now after one year, it’s much better. Even after being a doctor, I believed what the Hair salon people said, just to make my hair look more picture-perfect. I can imagine their effect on other people.

Heat and chemical damage is irreparable and will give you a permanent place as a customer in Hair salons! Movie stars have the budget and they get paid to look that good. If you have the budget, for expensive hair repair work for life, then the choice is yours.

If you have a medical condition causing hair fall, you will need to get your blood tests done. This will be prescribed after visiting a physician and a skin specialist. Systemic diseases like anemia and hypothyroidism, are big culprits when it comes to hair fall. Obesity, pregnancy, childbirth, drastic weight loss, malignancy, post-surgery, post-chemotherapy or radiotherapy always have predictable hair fall. You can talk to your doctor to get the best solution for your specific condition.

In Conclusion

No one treatment fits all. You must tailor it according to you and your hair!
