Soybeans have been around for centuries, and soybean consumption has multiplied over the past few years. When eaten, soybeans have shown to reduce cholesterol, hot flashes, and the occurrence of osteoporosis. It’s no wonder that soy has been a recommended addition to our daily nutrient intake.
Aside from the ‘inner’ benefits of soy, it’s also becoming a more popular skin care ingredient. There is an interesting story about soy’s skin care properties.
Over the years, it was observed in Asia that workers who regularly handled soybeans had the unexpected benefits of smooth, evenly toned hands.
Researchers began to study the chemical composition of soy, and found several components which improved the skin.
Soy seems to work by moisturizing the skin and diminishing fine lines. It also smoothens out the pigments under the skin’s surface, resulting in less blotchiness and discoloration. Soy seems to be a wonderful, natural ingredient for women seeking a simple beauty routine.
Talk to your doctor about getting more soy in your diet (and your skin care). This might be true beauty, from the inside out.

Several sleep experts noted that this may be a good move: sleeping away from home can be difficult (especially if you are only spending a night or two away)- but bringing your own pillow with you may help ease you to sleep in an unfamiliar bed.
Good sleep will make you feel energized, alert, and ready to enjoy your vacation. It will also reduce your stress, and has been linked to weight control and weight management.
If you are taking off for vacation, don’t forget to bring your pillow.
