Soy milk is made from soaking, grinding and boiling dried soybeans with water. Its high fiber, protein, essential fatty acid, vitamin, and mineral content makes it a very nutritious drink. Below are some of the incredible health benefits you can get from drinking soy milk.

1. Protection against prostate cancer
Research shows that men who eat a soy-rich diet are less likely to develop prostate cancer. This is due to phytoestrogen, a unique plant hormone found in soy milk that can inhibit testosterone production in men. Lower testosterone levels can help reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer.
2. Promotes weight loss
Soy milk is naturally low in sugar, supplying you only 7 grams of sugar per cup as opposed to 12 grams of sugar in dairy milk. Soy milk also contains fiber, which helps you feel fuller longer.
3. Improved blood cholesterol levels
Soy milk contains zero cholesterol. Also, it is made mostly with unsaturated fat and is naturally high in isoflavones, organic compounds that can significantly lower bad cholesterol levels in your blood while simultaneously raising your good cholesterol levels. This makes soy milk an ideal drink for people with high cholesterol or those at risk of coronary heart diseases.
4. Builds up blood vessel integrity
The omega-3 fatty acids and the isoflavones found in soy can effectively protect the blood vessels from damage and hemorrhage.4
