Hi friends,
One of my
anti-aging secrets is, TOFU.
If you are
not familiar with its unique texture, it is a horrible thing but trust me, if
you know how to cook, it is a great product for men and women around my age & plus and those who want to lose weight.
According to
the following article, this great food was hugely misunderstood in the western
world.
Until recently, soy wasn’t
recommended for women with breast cancer or those at high risk of the disease,
because of the estrogen-like effect of isoflavones. But Bauer points to the
Shanghai Breast Cancer Survival Study, which found that soy food consumption significantly decreased the risk of death and
cancer recurrence among women with breast cancer. Bauer stresses that it’s
important to eat whole soy foods (such as tofu and soy milk) rather than
isolated soy foods, like soy snack bars.

I would
never say it miraculously cures all of our aging issues but soya isoflavone is
now commonly used to ease menopause symptoms. If you have a problem such as
hair loss, it is worth adopting in your diet rather than taking dodgy pills.
(Better to avoid those genetically modified soya beans and related products,
though.)
Anyway, this
is my soya anti-aging dinner. Tofu-burger stake as in hamburger stake.
Majority of
the content in Tofu is water. Cut them thinly and put them on the layer of
kitchen towels to remove water.
Then, cover
them with another layers of kitchen towels and leave them for 4 – 5 hours like
this. I used a plate and a glass jar as weight. Anything will do.
After that,
mix dehydrated tofu with minced pork to make burgers.
Add some vegetables and also Hijiki. Hijiki is a kind of seaweed.Seaweed is also great for your health.
And divide them into 3. As I live on my own, I cannot use them in 1 day.
Cook the
burgers with avocado oil. (My another anti-aging secret.)
Then make
sauce with whatever is available on the kitchen shelf – I used ketchup, wine and these
amazing things.
Pour the
sauce onto the burger………Ta-Dah! This is truly scrumptious.
With rice
(mixed with ground sesame – anti-aging), steamed vegetables and miso soup. This
soup contains miso, thinly sliced onion, Enoki-mushroom, and off course TOFU!!
(normal one- not dehydrated one).
My super
healthy anti-aging dinner.
