WHAT ARE SOYA CHUNKS? IS IT SAFE TO EAT?

-
Dear vegetarians, this one is especially for you. Soya Chunks are to a vegetarian what chicken breast is to a non-vegetarian—a high source of protein!
What are these soya chunks exactly?
Basically, soya chunks are made from defatted soy flour, a by-product of extracting soybean oil and are quite dense nutritionally.
In fact, a 100 gram serving of the ‘vegetarian’s meat’ contains 52 grams of protein, 13 grams of fibre, and 35 grams of vitamins and minerals.

So, are they really all that great?
“Yes, soya chunks are a good source of protein, especially for vegetarians,
the protein content in them is comparable to that of meat, eggs, and milk. So needless to say, you get to enjoy all the benefits of protein such as a faster metabolism, muscle building, as well as better skin, hair, and bone health.
In fact, as per a study conducted in 2015, the wonder food is also capable of reducing bad cholesterol in the body and hence, promoting heart health.

But, conditions apply:-
“Consuming soya products in excess can increase the estrogen levels in the body,” In fact, this can lead to a condition known as estrogen dominance. So, if you’re a man, the excess of this hormone can give you the much-dreaded ‘man boobs’.
 In the case of women, it can lead to water retention, bloating, acne, and a toxic weight gain apart from weird mood swings, of course.
Additionally, overeating soya chunks can even cause constipation, nausea, and increase the frequency of urination

Not to mention, the excess of protein due to an overconsumption of soya chunks can elevate the levels of uric acid in your body, which in turn can damage your kidneys and lead to deposition of uric acid crystals around your joints causing immense pain.

So, how much of it should you eat?
“Eating 25 to 30 grams of soya chunks a day is beneficial and will not increase the estrogen levels in the body. Neither will it increase the uric acid levels in the body.

WHAT IS PUSH, PULL & LEGS?

-
Image
Push, pull and legs  is a very simple, yet effective training split for anyone, ranging from those picking up their first barbell to hardened gym veterans. Push workouts include chest, shoulders and triceps. Pull workouts take care of back and biceps. While leg workouts cover quads, hamstrings and calves. The reason it works so well is that it places more emphasis on multi-joint compound exercises than on isolation-based exercises. Don’t expect set after set of pec deck and preacher curls in this program. The main reason for the majority of these workouts being comprised of compound exercises is exercises like barbell bench press, squats and deadlifts offer the most ‘bang for your buck’. They involve multiple muscle groups and allow the most room for progression of reps and weight. This means more growth for you.   Putting It All Together The basic premise of any push, pull and legs programme will always be similar, but there will be subtle differences for those ju...
