Notes
Tofu is a complete protein that contains all the essential amino acids your body needs and can help you feel full for longer, aiding in weight management.
Tofu is a primary source of isoflavones, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may mimic some positive effects of estrogen, such as reducing cholesterol and hot flushes.
