Tofu is a health food that many people admire. It is based on soybeans, green beans, black beans as raw materials, processed by soaking, refining, filtration, cooking, solidification and molding processes. Tofu and soy products have higher protein content than soybeans, and tofu protein is a complete protein that contains not only the 8 essential amino acids needed by the human body, but also has a proportion close to human needs.
However, delicious food should not be greedy. Good things must be stopped. The long-term consumption of tofu in large quantities may cause the following problems:
First, it promotes the onset of gout. Tofu contains more purines, patients with gout abnormal metabolism, gout patients, and patients with elevated blood uric acid concentrations, eat more tofu easily lead to gout attack.
Second, it causes indigestion. Tofu contains extremely rich in protein, and eating too much at a time not only hinders the body's absorption of iron, but also easily causes protein indigestion and bloating and diarrhea.
Third, increase the burden on the kidneys. Under normal circumstances, the plant protein that is eaten by humans is metabolized and eventually becomes nitrogenous waste, which is excreted by the kidneys. In the elderly, the ability of the kidneys to excrete waste is reduced. If you do not pay attention to your diet and eat large amounts of tofu at this time, excessive intake of plant proteins will inevitably increase the amount of nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, increasing the burden on the kidneys and adversely affecting your health.
