4 Health Benefits of Soy Nuts

Hi guys,



Today i am gonna write a little bit about the benefits of Soy Nuts.. Well many of us may be familiar with soy bean drink but what are soy nuts??
Soy nuts are made by soaking soy beans in water, draining them, and then roasting or baking them until they are crunchy. There are many flavors of soy nuts available at the grocery store, but remember that extra ingredients often adds additional calories, sugar and/or fat. The healthiest soy nuts are lightly seasoned and don’t have any added oil or sugar.

                               



Here are four health benefits of soy nuts.

Protein Rich
One of the biggest health benefits of soy nuts is the fact that they are rich in protein, which makes them a great food to snack on. Instead of reaching for the bag of potato chips, grab a handful of soy nuts to get a tasty crunch and powerful nutrition at the same time.
Weight Loss
Because of the high protein content as well as the fiber in soy nuts, they are great for someone who is trying to lose weight. The best weight loss plan is a diet that focuses around a higher amount of fiber and protein.
Lower Blood Pressure 
When soy nuts are consumed, they can help to lower blood pressure levels. These snacks are naturally low in sodium and the fiber and other nutrients such as magnesium and potassium they contain can be beneficial in lowering blood pressure levels.
Heart Health
Soy nuts also help with other aspects of heart health, such as lower cholesterol and a reduced risk of heart attack and stroke. They contain omega-3 essential fatty acids, which are effective in the prevention of heart disease and help to lower cholesterol levels. 

Well that's all for now guys.. till our next post adios..

Stroke Now Has A New Indicator... Check it out!!

Hi Guys, 


I received this in an email and wanted to share it with all of you. Reading this might save someone's life. If you can, do pass this around to all your friends. 




STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters..... S. T. R. 


STROKE IDENTIFICATION:


During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ....she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.



They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.


Jane's husband called l! ater telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.


It only takes a minute to read this.
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
 

RECOGNIZING A STROKE


Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn!


Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *
Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)

(i.e. It is sunny out today.)


R
 *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.


If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency numberimmediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.


New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue


NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other
 that is also an indication of a stroke.



Well guys, I hope that all of you would have learnt something very valuable today... 


That's all for now..till our next post..adios..
