Soy
Soy products, including tofu and soy milk, add protein to your diet without adding unhealthy fats and cholesterol. Soy products contain high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (good for your health), fiber, vitamins, and minerals. What’s more, soy can lower blood pressure in people who eat a diet high in refined carbohydrates. Finally, compared to milk or other proteins, soy protein can actually lower LDL or “bad” cholesterol.
