Delicious Homecooked Meals with Soy Promote Good Health for the Whole Family

St. Louis, MO – Most of us try to maintain a healthy diet. We look for ways to improve our family’s meals, but for kids and adults alike, taste still rules at the dinner table. That’s why the United Soybean Board (USB) has put together an easy-to-follow meal-planning tool to help you add flavorful and healthful soyfoods to all your meals.

The timing couldn’t be more crucial. A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that obesity is quickly closing in on tobacco as the nation’s number one preventable killer. According to dietitian Lynn Grieger, RD, soy provides a natural solution.

“Along with exercise, a balanced diet rich in soy contributes to a healthy body,” Grieger commented.

In USB’s free 43-page booklet, nutritious and delicious recipes share the spotlight with healthy quick tips and meal suggestions for families with even the most selective eaters. Not only is soy a versatile ingredient, but studies suggest there are many possible health benefits to a soy-enriched diet. Soy may help prevent heart disease, osteoporosis and breast and prostate cancers.

According to USB’s Consumer Attitudes about Nutrition study, 89 percent of Americans indicate nutrition is important when choosing food products and 74 percent recognize soy products as healthy.

No matter what the craving, soy can be incorporated into all types of cuisine, including a low-carbohydrate diet.
