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).
That is about 25% of the amount needed each day, 25 grams of soy, to get the heart-healthy benefit. It is relatively easy to meet that 25-gram recommendation: 4 ounces of firm tofu contains 13 grams of soy protein; one soy burger includes 10 to 12 grams; and an 8-ounce glass of plain soy milk contains 10 grams.
