Soya wangokhala wamunthu weniweni kwa ine. Kwa zaka zambiri ndakhala ndikuuza anthu mfundo yakuti mkaka wa soya woposa chikho chimodzi tsiku lililonse ukhoza kuchepetsa mwayi wa amuna kudwala khansa ya prostate ndi 70%. [1] Sabata yatha, abambo anga, omwe amatsatira malangizo anga azaumoyo koma sanakhalepo wokonda soya, adapezeka ndi khansa ya prostate, mtundu wankhanza. Mantha a soya amatsogolera amuna ambiri, 88% mu phunziro lomwelo, kukana kwathunthu.

Soya nayenso ndi wanga chifukwa ndimagwira ntchito m'malo mwa anthu osowa zakudya m'thupi ku Uganda komwe soya ndiye gwero lotsika mtengo la mapuloteni apamwamba kwambiri kwa osauka. Palibe chakudya china chilichonse chochokera ku mbewu chomwe chili ndi ma amino acid asanu ndi anayi ofunikira pazakudya za anthu. Kupanda kudziwa za mtengo wa soya kumapangitsa mabanja ambiri omwe amalima kuti asawapatse ana awo, 35% mwa omwe amakhala ndi vuto losowa zakudya m'thupi.

Simungathe kunena mawu akuti soya masiku ano osayambitsa mkangano. Ambiri aku America, akudabwa ngati soya ndi chinthu chabwino muzakudya. Tiyenera kudziwa bwino. Kafukufuku wa National Geographic adapeza Loma Linda ngati Blue Zone, malo omwe ali ndi thanzi komanso moyo wautali. Wofufuza Dan Buettner anapeza kuti kwa a Seventh-day Adventist omwe amakhala kumeneko, soya ndi chimodzi mwa zakudya zawo zapamwamba. [2] Kutalika kwa moyo wa anthu okhala ku Blue Zone ku Okinawa Japan kudachitikanso chifukwa cha soya. Buettner akuti kudya nyemba kungathe kuwonjezera zaka 4 za moyo. Choncho china chake chokhudza nyemba ndi chodabwitsa.

Soya imatsimikiziridwa kuti imathandiza kupewa mitundu yambiri ya khansa [3] komanso ngakhale kuwonongeka kwa mafupa komwe kumayambitsa matenda a osteoporosis [4] , komabe ambiri aife tikudutsa mkaka wa soya ndikusankha njira zina zosagwirizana ndi mkaka. Kodi pali wina amene waona kuti mu "mkaka" wina uliwonse muli ziro zomanga thupi, kuphatikizapo amondi, fulakesi, kokonati, ndi cashew? Kwa omwe sadya zamasamba, makamaka zamasamba, mapuloteni apamwamba kwambiri a mkaka wa soya, magalamu 8 pa kapu, sayenera kuperekedwa. 

Ndipereka kwa otsutsa, soya ambiri omwe amadyedwa mdziko muno amasinthidwa ndikusintha kwambiri. Palibe chomwe, ndingatsutse, sichiyenera mbewu iyi yomwe ili mphatso yanzeru yochokera kwa Mulungu. Soya amadzudzulidwanso chifukwa chokhala ndi zinthu zotsutsana ndi zakudya, monga phytic acid, zomwe zimalepheretsa kuyamwa kwa michere. Pamene ndinafunsa Mulungu “chifukwa chiyani?” Ndikhulupilira kuti Adavumbulutsa chowonadi chomwe tsopano chikupindulitsa anthu masauzande ambiri ku Uganda. Ndikukhulupirira kuti zithandizanso banja lanu.

Nyemba za soya ndi mbewu zina zikauma nthawi isanakolole, zakudya zake zimachepa kwambiri. Limeneli ndi dalitso chifukwa, popanda zimenezi, mbewu zikanawonongeka m’malo mosunga m’nyengo yozizira. Sizikanakhala zotheka kuti anthu apulumuke kumadera otentha popanda kutsekereza chakudya chake. Talingalirani Yakobo akusunga mbewu ku Igupto kwa zaka zisanu ndi ziŵiri!

Koma monga momwe mlimi m’nyengo ya masika amabzala mbewu m’nthaka yonyowa yotenthedwa ndi dzuwa, ifenso tikhoza kuwonjezera kupezeka kwa michere ya m’thupi mwa kuviika ndi kutenthetsa mbewuzo. Ngakhale mbewu zonse ndi nyemba zimapindula ndi zilowerere, soya amafunikira maola 10-12 kuti ayambitse ma enzyme omwe amapangitsa kuti zakudya zake zikhalepo. Kuphika kwa mphindi makumi awiri ndipo muli ndi chakudya chapamwamba! Kuchokera ku nyembazo mutha kupanga mkaka wanu, tofu, kapena kungowira kuti mudye monga nyemba zina zilizonse. Mtundu wawo wachikasu umapatsa chithunzithunzi chokhala mphika wa golidi ndipo uli, wodzaza ndi fiber, mchere, ndi amino acid, chuma ichi ndi chapadera.

Choncho sangalalani ndi soya, pali mphamvu mu pulse!
