::CRAVING CRUNCH? TRY SOY NUTS INSTEAD OF CHIPS:: One of the healthiest changes you can make in your diet is to incorporate whole soy foods on a regular basis. Soy is rich in protein, iron and compounds called isoflavones, which may have protective effects against hormone-driven cancers such as prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women. Soy also helps protect your heart. Roasted soybeans, known as soy nuts, are a great way to get the health benefits of soy while satisfying almost any snack craving. A one-ounce serving (about one-quarter of a cup) amounts to about 120 calories, 10 grams of protein, six grams of fiber, and only four grams of fat - three of them unsaturated. Roasted soy nuts come in sweet and spicy flavors, as well as regular salted and unsalted varieties. Be aware that some of the flavored varieties may have more calories or fat - so read the labels carefully.
