Soy Makes Special Diets Easy
Ideal for diabetics,
vegetarian/vegan, peanut allergies!
More and more people need special diets now-a-days, either by Dr's
orders or by choice. But there is no need to give up when you've
got the munchies. Soy nuts are a tasty healthy snack that easily
fits into your special diet needs.
Soy and the diabetic diet
For someone with diabetes, it is important to reduce cholesterol,
watch carbohydrates carefully and eat meals and snacks at regular
times. Making healthy food choices is essential for keeping blood
sugar levels stable. Luckily, soy nuts fit into that model. (Read
more on soy nutrition facts.)
One popular way to rate the effect of various foods is according
to their "glycemic index" or GI. A high rating (bad) means
the carbohydrates are digested rapidly and cause spikes in blood
sugar levels. A low rating (good) means the carbohydrates are digested
slowly. Slow is good because it avoids the sharp up and down spikes
of blood sugar and insulin.
Soy is a good
low GI foods - so eat, enjoy and relax!
They're convenient and easy for diabetics too. Keep a small bag
of soynuts in your purse or pocket for those on-the-go emergencies...
when your body tells you that you've got to eat something NOW!
Soy and the vegetarian diet or vegan diet
Soy nuts are a wise and healthy choice for the vegetarian and vegan
diet. They are especially good because they provide complete
whole protein, which is not too easy to find in non-animal
sources.
All our soynuts are suitable for vegetarians, even all the delicious
flavored ones. For vegans, there are a few flavors you'll have to
skip since they include some cheese and milk. If you are in doubt
as to exact ingredients, please give us a call.
Soy and the peanut free diet
More and more people are wanting peanut free diets. Even some schools
(and even airplanes) have been declared peanut-free zones!
Soy nuts are a great alternative to peanuts. Lighter and easier
to eat, many people prefer soy nuts even if they're not allergic
to peanuts.
Important: As with any special dietary
needs, always first consult your medical doctor.
