The Benefits of Soy Milk For Children

July 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Soy Milk for Children who Cannot Tolerate Cow’s Milk

One of the greatest benefits of soy milk is that it is free from lactose and animal protein, which are a common source of allergic reactions and milk intolerance in children.

The world over, around 70% people are intolerant to lactose due to the inadequate production of the ‘lactase’ enzyme that is required for digesting lactose present in cow’s milk. These individuals are unable to digest cow’s milk and may develop flatulence, cramps or diarrhoea on ingesting cow’s milk. The presence of this condition can be confirmed by two simple tests, the Hydrogen Breath Test shows the presence of hydrogen in the breath of those with lactose intolerance, while in case of very young children and infants, Acid Levels of Stool indicate the presence of this condition. In all cases of lactose intolerance, soy milk offers a nutritional option that is as good as cow milk and can be used without any side effects. The same is true of about 2.5% children who develop allergy to cow’s milk proteins and cannot tolerate it.

The amount of galactose in soy milk is low, so it is also a good alternative to cow milk in cases of galactosemia.

Additional Nutritional Benefits of Soy Milk

In addition to being an alternative to cow milk, the soy milk has certain characteristics that can make it an option that may be preferable even if the child can tolerate cow milk.

More importantly, the soy milk contains polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which do not lead to deposition of fats in blood vessels including those in heart and are therefore do not lead to heart disease. In today’s age, where over-nutrition and sedentary life style is leading to rise in heart diseases like angina and heart attack, soy milk offers an option that can help in countering this trend.

Soy milk is rich in proteins, with about 3.5% proteins, 2% fat and 2.9% non-lactose carbohydrates.

 Soy milk is less likely to be a factor in development of Diabetes in later life as per some studies.

Soy milk has high concentration of LECITHIN and VITAMIN  E. Vitamin E is an anti oxidant, and helps in reducing aging of cells. It has been shown to slow down degenerative diseases too.

Soy milk lacks CASEIN, the protein of cow milk. Casein has been suspected to increase the effects of autism, and also aggravate allergy to glutens. Being free from it makes soy milk a much more trouble-free and safer option.

Soy milk contains ISOFLAVONES, which are also strong anti-oxidants. Though the full effects of isoflavones are still not understood and though there has also been criticism about the role of these phyto-estrogen compounds on fertility, as per current evidence and data, most experts agree that these are beneficial substances with no side effects.

Soy milk has high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids which are being studied for their positive impact on development of infant brain.

Soy milk is also free from natural and supplementary hormones that are usually present in case of cow milk.

To sum up, soy milk offers many advantages. It is an excellent nutrition for children, and has lesser problems compared to cow milk.

South Beach Diet Phase:

 

The South Beach Diet is not a low-carb or a low-fat diet.

The South Beach Diet means choosing the right carbs and the right fats to eat healthy and lose weight. The diet claims that one could lose anywhere between 8 and 13 pounds in the first 2 weeks. There are three phases in the South Beach Diet. South Beach Diet phase 1 lasts for 2 weeks, sufficient amounts of protein, good fats and carbs with the lowest glycemic index are allowed. One can have normal helpings six times a day, so as to not feel hungry. Lean cuts of beef, skinless poultry, all types of fish and shellfish, boiled ham, fat-free or low-fat cheese, peanuts, pecans, pistachios, eggs, artichokes, asparagus, beans and legumes, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, eggplant, lettuce, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, zucchini, canola and olive oils, all seasonings that contain no added sugar, broth, butter sprays, pepper, sweets (limit to 75 calories per day) are allowed in the first phase. In the South Beach Diet phase 2, the goal is to eat more carbs again while continuing to lose weight.In the South Beach Diet Phase 3 is the maintenance phase, how you are supposed to eat for the rest of your life.

 

Gluten Free Diet Food:

 

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and oats that give the dough its tough, elastic character. Agluten-free diet eliminates all wheat, rye, barley and oat gluten from the diet, as a form of treatment for gluten-sensitive enteropathy (celiac disease). Thus most grain, pasta, cereal and processed foods must be avoided. People can also buy gluten-free products. Hidden sources of gluten include additives, preservatives, and stabilizers found in processed food, medicines, and mouthwash. The gluten free diet food is a lifetime requirement, though some people with celiac disease, also known as gluten intolerance do not improve on the gluten-free diet. Use corn, rice, soy, arrowroot, tapioca, and potato flours or a mixture instead of wheat flour in recipes. Buy plain, frozen, or canned vegetables and season with herbs, spices, or sauces made with allowed ingredients. Other gluten-free diet foods that are allowed are all meat, poultry, fish, and shellfish, eggs, dry peas and beans, nuts, peanut butter, soybean, cold cuts, frankfurters, or sausage without fillers. Malted milk, some milk drinks, flavored or frozen yogurt should be omitted from the diet. Avoid sauces, gravies, canned fish and other products with HVP/HPP made from wheat protein.
