Traditional Asian diets tend to contain more minimally processed soy foods like tofu, tempeh, miso, and soy milk, while Western diets lean toward soy-based meat alternatives or meat products with added soy protein. Soy isoflavones may be especially beneficial when it comes to bone health, with some research showing that they can actually impact bone metabolism and increase bone mineral density. Edamame is a type of immature soybean commonly found in many types of Asian cuisine. The round, bright green beans are often still encased in their pods and are popped out prior to consumption.
