Consume Protein from Vegetable Sources

Vegetarian diet is mostly done to maintain health in order to avoid heart disease, hypertension, cancer and diabetes is a disease that is closely related to body weight. Weight loss may occur due to uncontrolled unhealthy diet and less exercise.
That is the reason why the vegetarian diet began in great demand with the aim of reducing the risk of disease. However, the protein needs of vegetarians are sometimes quite difficult. For that you need to consume protein from vegetable sources.

Protein in soybean known as found in soy milk offers many benefits, especially with antioxidants. Able to protect the body against cancer and is a complete protein with amino acids essential .
Soybeans have been consumed for health benefits for centuries, and is currently processing soybeans into soy milk is a practical shape to meet the intake protein of vegetarians.

There are 20 kinds of amino acids the human body needs. Amino acids play a role in the development and maintenance of each tissue such as muscle, skin and bone tissue and whole body health.
Of the 20 amino acids, 9 of which can not be produced by the body, so-called "essential amino acids ", which means that they must be obtained through diet. Maybe we think that vegetarians can not meet needs of protein and amino acids, because they do not consume animal protein sources. But soy is a source of vegetable protein containing all essential amino acids and is the best source of protein among other vegetable products.

Soy protein also has health benefits not held by other vegetable protein products. Soybeans also contain phytochemicals that isoflavones such as daidzein, genistein and glycitein that acts as a plant growth substance to protect the body against disease.
Isoflavones contained in soy may also help prevent the disruption of brain function such as Alzheimer's disease. Even eating quality soy milk regularly may protect against osteoporosis.

Indeed, there are differences in protein content of cow's milk and soy milk. But  soy milk is best protein content than other vegetable sources. You can see it in the article the ratio of nutrition soy milk and cow's milk.
