Jangdan soybeans are very famous in Paju.

Kimjang kimchi and...

The abalone I bought at the five-day market yesterday is the best in taste and nutrition.

Tonight's late-night snack.

Tofu, made by soaking soybeans, grinding them, heating to remove the pulp, and adding coagulants, is said to be beneficial for health. This soybean-derived food is delicious and widely preferred. Tofu exists in various forms such as silken tofu or soft tofu and is well known for its high protein content.

Additionally, it is known that a variety of nutrients such as fat, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and potassium are abundant, and continuous consumption is believed to have beneficial effects on health. The health benefits of this tofu are well known to many people.

The positive effects of tofu on health are widely recognized, but many people do not know the specific benefits in detail. Therefore, let's look at some of the main advantages of tofu.

1) Promotion of cardiovascular health
Isoflavones found in tofu are known to be beneficial in reducing LDL cholesterol, that is, the 'bad' cholesterol. This contributes to improving vascular health and enhancing blood circulation.

2) Preventive effects on breast cancer and prostate cancer
Various studies suggest that isoflavones in tofu may be effective in cancer prevention. Isoflavones have a chemical structure similar to estrogen, which helps prevent breast cancer, and they are also reported to play a positive role in preventing prostate cancer.

3) Diabetes management
Type 2 diabetes patients often experience kidney problems, which can lead to excessive protein loss through urine. In such situations, consuming tofu can help reduce protein loss because it is rich in plant-based protein.

4) Kidney health
The head plays an important role in kidney function as well. In particular, soft tofu is known to be rich in protein and is beneficial for patients undergoing kidney dialysis or transplantation.

5) Osteoporosis prevention
Regarding osteoporosis, the isoflavones contained in tofu are said to help reduce bone loss and increase bone mineral density. These benefits of tofu can have a positive impact on the prevention and management of osteoporosis.
