    Though Soya is a high biological value protein food, it is equally rich in phytates which inhibits the absorption of its own proteins. Hence consuming soya in its fermented state like Tofu, Soy cheese and Soy yoghurt enhances its protein value. Is there a reference supporting Soy's efficiency in PCOD's?

    just eating the right kind of food for nutrition is not enough, we need to make sure tht the body is able to absorb the nutrient as well .. as iron can be better absorbed in the body in the presence of an acidic medium. similarly, calcium and iron compete for their absorption, hence if taken in combination, none of it will get absorbed. hence choosing the right combinations of food is very important

    Hi
    Flax seeds have lots of benefits , Flaxseeds are a good source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and phytochemicals called lignans.Omega-3 fatty acids along with the fiber and lignans in flaxseed are helpful in decreasing the low density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol) and total cholesterol levels. This effect is beneficial in various health conditions like heart diseases, diabetes and obesity.
