The most common cause of eye bags is a loss of fatty tissue in the upper cheeks, right below the eye bags. This fatty tissue, which resides just below the skin, is present throughout the face. As you age, it breaks down, or âdeflates,â in your cheeks at a much faster rate than it does just below your eyes.
A rough guide is that one serving of soy equals 1 cup of soymilk, or 1/2 cup of tofu, tempeh, soybeans, or soy meats. This is the rough equivalent of about 8 to 10 grams of soy protein and 25 mg of isoflavones. The more processed soy meats tend to have more protein (but fewer isoflavones per gram of protein).
Soy is a high-calcium alternative to dairy for those who canât or donât want to drink it. Most brands of soymilk have about 300 mg of calcium per cup, and if youâre a fan of tofu, youâre getting about 400 mg per half cup! Plus, soy is full of isoflavonesâa chemical that strengthens your bones and helps ward off disease.
