Soya Lover

I am a big fan of soya products. I cannot imagine life without tofu, soya bean milk, soya bean curd among many other soya related foods. Unfortunately, in a recent health test, I was diagnosed as having a high level of uric acid and was advised by my doctor to cut down on soya-related products. It seems that my almost daily consumption of supposedly healthy tofu and thric-weekly dosage of soya bean milk is causing me health problems!!! How horrifying. I was advised to drink low-fat cow's milk instead but hey, I drink soya bean milk not because I think its healthier but because I LIKE TO DRINK SOYA BEAN MILK lah!!!

After a survey of co-workers and friends, I realised that I was not alone in my health ailment. Many other soya lovers are facing th same problem, high levels of uric acid in their bodies. So what now, for the past few weeks I have been conscientiously avoiding all soya related products but ended up consuming other unhealthy foods like chocolates to satisfy my soya withdrawal symptoms.

So I gave up on avoiding soya. Having no soya in my diet is just going to cause me more pain than gain. Instead I have taken to limiting my tofu consumption to not more than three times a week hopefully and drinking my favourite soya bean milk only on weekends. Yes, everything is good in moderation and even healthy foods like soya can be bad when overly consumed! Ha, that's one more lesson learnt!
