Women's health and Isoflavones.
Women's health is much influenced by the female hormone estrogen:
When estrogen levels drop during menopause, many women resort to hormone therapy. Hormone therapy can help women with hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness and osteoporosis, but it also has some risks. Hormone therapy may increase their chance of heart attack, stroke, breast cancer and dementia. Isoflavones do not seem to have these risks. Isoflavones have an influence on the women's health during menopause but also before and during the reproductive years, or pre-menopause period. A study showed that of the 1172 women participating in a six year study, the hysterectomy rate was lowest among the women whose diets contained the most soy foods. This study suggests that consuming soy foods, which contain isoflavones, seems to reduce the risk of fibroids and endometriosis.
Isoflavones and girls:
The consumption of isoflavones during the puberty, when the female breast develops, appears to protect the woman later in life against cancer. Studies show that women who ate weekly more than 3 portions of soy during adolescence showed a 40% reduced risk of breast cancer compared to those who did not consume soy. That's why it's important for girls to consume soy products or isoflavones supplements.
Isoflavones and menstrual cycle:
Isoflavones could increase the length of the menstrual cycle and moderate alter steroid hormone levels. A British study found that women who were given 60 grams of soy a day had longer menstrual cycles. Asian women, who ingest more soy on a daily basis, generally have longer menstrual cycles than Western women. Research suggests that the low Chinese breast cancer mortality rate may, in part, be due to consumption of food containing soy isoflavones. Levels of steroid hormones and menstrual cycle duration are known risk factors for breast cancer. An increased menstrual cycle is beneficial because this results in less time that the breast cells are exposed to higher estrogen levels.
Isoflavones and menopause:
During menopause the level of estrogen drops and causes common symptoms of menopause: hot flushes, insomnia, heavy sweating, mood swings, vaginal dryness and headaches.
