Soy Products and Man Boobs

LaSenza ke tu?
Have you heard people say it's not good for a guy to drink too much soy milk/eat soy products for fear that they will grow man boobs, has erectile dysfunction and become infertile? 

 NO IT IS NOT TRUE.

 Research have shown that taking soy products WILL NOT CAUSE feminization (increase estrogen and reduce testosterone, grow man boobs, reduced fertility).

 The phytoestrogen (that mimics estrogen's effect in the body) is not strong enough to cause this.

 Plus when people say "take too much", exactly how much is too much?

 The health benefits of taking soy far outweigh the perceived disadvantage.

 Here are some facts on soy.
  • Has variety of essential nutrients i.e proteins, fiber, vitamins and minerals, is naturally cholesterol-free, a source for the omega-3 essential fatty acid ALA.

  • contains isoflavones and other antioxidants that are highly beneficial to your health (lowers cholesterol, heart-healthy, helps in post-menopausal symptoms).
    • It contains some estrogen-like compounds (phytoestrogens). Studies showed MODERATE quantities of soy do not significantly affect hormone levels in men. 
    • Some studies have shown that regular intake of soy products can increase breast cancer risks in women. Other studies, however, have found the exact opposite. Soy estrogen can also interfere with breast cancer chemotherapy and medication. If you are a current breast cancer patient or have a history of breast cancer, you should consult with your doctor before drinking soy milk.

    Whatever it is, be moderate. Be smart in choosing your soy milk. Per 250 ml serving, look for 8 to 10 grams of protein. 

     You also should limit refined sugar as flavored soy beverages can have as much as 21 grams of sugar (5 teaspoons worth) per serving.

    Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak?

    Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak? Pernah tak korang hadapi situasi macam ni. Bersenam dah all out, membanting tulang dan tenaga di gym. Dalam semangat nak lose weight tu, timbang diri setiap jam, setiap hari! Disebabkan dah berabis workout dan mengamalkan diet rumput rumpai, korang pun expect berat turun kan? Tiba-tiba bila naik atas penimbang tu, berat tak turun pun. Maintain je. Kadang-kadang lagi teruk. BERAT NAIK PULAK!! Bila terjadi perkara macam ni, korang pun berjalan perlahan-lahan ke sudut bilik, dan mengerekot di dalam bilik yang gelap sambil mengenang nasib. Sangat mematahkan semangat, berkecamuk jiwa dan raga. I know. I've been there. CPPS pun pernah mengalami perkara yang sama Workout dah betul, diet pula calorie deficit. You have done everything right but your weight INCREASED! Rasa nak putus asa dan minum racun rumpai. Kemudian ahli keluarga, PT atau kakak cleaner gym dengan penuh rasa kasihan cuba memujuk. "Hey! don't worry. You are gainin...

    Bikinication: Project Phuket Part 2

    In case you have not read the part 1, click HERE .  So on the 3rd day we went island hopping to Phi Phi Island where the movie "The Beach" featuring Leonardo Dicaprio was filmed.  Bought the package while wandering around Patong Beach but you can get these island hopping packages anywhere in Phuket.  Like many other things in Phuket, you have to bargain. We got our package for 1050 Baht/pax which included transport to and fro hotel, lunch and refreshments, snorkeling equipment and covers Maya Bay (where the filming was), Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island.  We only stop and got down the boat at Maya Bay, another lagoon i don't know what's the name for snorkeling, Phi Phi Don for lunch and Khai Nok Island.  They picked us up at 7.45am from the hotel and all of us gathered in a place for a briefing. There were 3 boats that day for all of us,  then departed to the jetty which was about 1...

    Guide To First Dates For Dummies

    Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants.  I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date.  Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date.  1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression.  You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine.  No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour.  Use cologn...
