Help for Hot Flashes
For years, studies have demonstrated the connection between soy and the easing of menopause symptoms, particularly hot flashes. But a recent analysis of 19 studies provides an even clearer picture of just what soy isoflavones can do.
Researchers from the University of Delaware found that soy isoflavones are linked to a 20% decrease in frequency and 26% decrease in severity of hot flashes. The study included 1,200 women and was recently published in Menopause: The Journal of the North American Menopause Association.
Women’s Heart Health
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among American women, killing more than a third of them. Heart attacks kill 200,000 women each year — five times more than breast cancer. Despite these staggering statistics, women are less likely than men to receive appropriate treatment after a heart attack and only make up 27% of participants in all heart-related research studies.
One of the most important steps women can take to improve their heart health is increasing their soy intake. A naturally occurring soy peptide called lunasin can help improve cholesterol where it is produced, within the liver. Reliv’s exclusive LunaRichTM soy powder — found in SoySentials® — contains five to ten times the amount of bioactive lunasin found in ordinary soy powders.
