Tofu eats more can harm the body

Chinese medicine believes that tofu is sweet and cool, and it can be used to replenish Qi and to moisturize the body and fluid. It has the functions of solving sulfur and shochu poison. Modern medical research confirms that tofu contains not only abundant protein and eight essential amino acids, but also a large amount of fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Thus, tofu is a delicious and nutritious food.

However, experts tell us that although tofu is delicious and nutritious, it should not be eaten too much, otherwise it will have the following hazards:

First, can lead to indigestion

Tofu contains extremely rich protein. Once it is overdone, it will cause these proteins to accumulate in the human body, causing indigestion and causing discomfort such as bloating and diarrhea.

Second, can cause kidney function decline

Under normal circumstances, after the metabolism of plant proteins that enter the body, most of them will become nitrogenous wastes that are excreted by the kidneys. However, the renal function of the elderly and some patients with kidney disease declines. If they eat too much tofu, it will increase the burden on the kidneys, causing them to have a decline in renal function, which will affect their physical health.

Third, can cause arteriosclerosis

Tofu contains a very rich methionine, which can be converted to cysteine ​​by the enzyme when it enters the body. Cysteine, on the other hand, damages the endothelial cells of the arteries of humans, causing cholesterol and triglycerides to deposit on the walls of the arteries, causing arteriosclerosis.

Fourth, it will lead to iodine deficiency disorders

Tofu contains a substance called saponin that promotes the body's excretion of iodine. Therefore, if people eat tofu for a long time, it is easy to cause a large loss of iodine in the body, causing it to suffer from iodine deficiency disorders.

V. Can cause gout

Tofu contains more purine substances. The abnormality of purine metabolism is the key cause of gout. Therefore, patients with gout eating too much tofu can easily cause gout attacks.

To sum up, although tofu is good, it should not be eaten every day, let alone eat too much at a time. Elderly and kidney disease patients, patients with iron deficiency anemia, gout patients, and arteriosclerosis patients must control the amount of tofu. In addition, people who are prone to diarrhea, abdominal distension and spleen deficiency, and patients with kidney deficiency who often present with nocturnal emission should not eat more tofu.
