Not only parents but also many young people are always wondering whether puberty should drink soy milk or not. Is drinking soy milk good for puberty? The answer is yes. Children entering puberty should be supplemented with soy milk or soy-based dishes in their daily diet.
Soy milk is a cereal milk made from soybeans. Soy milk contains high levels of nutrients, which are essential for the development of children, especially during puberty.
Nutrition contained in soy milk is mainly protein. It can be said that soy milk is the best source of protein for the body. The protein content of soybeans is more than twice that of beef and pork. However, if compared in terms of nutritional value, the protein in soy cannot be as high as animal protein. The regular daily supplement of soy milk helps to provide the body with a stable and healthy amount of vegetable protein, preventing cardiovascular diseases.
In soybeans, there are fibers that are fermented by intestinal bacteria to create fatty acids that help improve the health of the digestive system, reduce the risk of colon cancer. However, because the fiber is mainly alpha-galactosidase, they are insoluble, so there are some cases of diarrhea and flatulence when drinking soy milk.
Fat in soy milk accounts for about 18%, but the majority is linoleic acid. Soybean is an oily seed, so people also use soybean seeds to get oil to make soybean oil, which is very good for health in cooking.

So there is no reason not to supplement with soy milk for children, but it needs to have a certain amount, right and enough as needed.
As mentioned above, soybeans contain an active ingredient called isoflavones. This active ingredient has a similar effect to estrogen in women, so it is often used to supplement hormones in women with hormone deficiencies or imbalances related to estrogen. One of the most popular and widely used hormone supplements made from soybeans is soybean sprouts. According to research data, in 100g of soybean sprouts, there will be about 40.7 mg of isoflavones (this level is quite high compared to other soy products such as soy milk, soy flour). Therefore, soybean sprouts are used quite a lot, especially for women who are suffering from hormonal imbalance due to estrogen deficiency.
In general, soybean sprouts can be used during puberty, but the Ministry of Health recommends that children should not use too much. Soybean sprouts are a healthy nutritional food, especially improving the female hormone estrogen deficiency or disorder. Soybean sprouts increase the size of the bust quite quickly, while also helping to beautify and brighten the skin, fade pigmentation, increase collagen.
