Gerontologist Svetlana Trofimova told Russians about a product that reduces the risk of developing cancer.
The President of the Russian Society of Anti-Aging Medicine revealed the unique properties of tofu.
On the air of the program “About the Most Important Thing” on the channel “ Russia 1 ”, Trofimova said that this product is popular with people who live 100 years or more.
Tofu is present in the diet of many residents of the so-called "blue zones", where the largest number of centenarians is recorded.
The gerontologist explained that tofu is valuable because it contains a substance called lunasin.
Scientists have proven through experimental and clinical studies that it has an oncoprotective effect.
According to Trofimova, lunasin, contained in tofu, suppresses the development of cancer cells.
The expert also pointed out another property of the product. Thanks to substances that are natural estrogens, the symptoms of menopause are smoothed out.
