Research News
In postmenopausal women that had type 2 diabetes,  daily supplementation with 30 grams of soy protein containing 132 mg of isoflavones (phytoestrogens) favorably altered their insulin resistance, blood glucose control, and serum lipids, and hence improved their cardiovascular risk profile. After 3 months of using the isoflavone-rich soy protein, the mean values for fasting insulin had dropped 8%, insulin resistance was 6.5% lower, and LDL cholesterol dropped 7%. No significant change occurred in HDL cholesterol or triglycerides.

Got A Minute or Two For Your Health?

Health is much more than life without disease. It is a state of complete physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being. It is the optimal functioning of every system of the human mind and body working in perfect harmony with every other part. This does not happen by chance. We have to work at it. It takes time and thought.


Today's society is so rushed, few people invest time in developing a healthy lifestyle. But good health results from making good choices on a regular basis. We must decide daily what to eat and drink, and when. We have to organize our life and work schedule to get adequate rest and relaxation. We must take time to develop meaningful social relationships. Every day we should plan 15-30 minutes for exercise. Understanding and following God's will must be chosen as a priority for our lives.

Time invested every day in building and maintaining a balanced lifestyle is time well spent. God requires a strict account of how we use our time.
