Menopause is a natural stage of life all women experience as they age. And while it may be normal, it certainly doesn’t feel normal. The hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and lack of energy can make menopause one of the most physically and emotionally miserable times in a woman’s life. So, let’s review what causes menopause, what you can expect, and how soy can help support a more comfortable midlife.

While soy is not a replacement for prescription medication or HRT, over twenty clinical trials show that soy can help you have a more enjoyable and healthy midlife by lessening hot flashes and other common discomforts of menopause.1-10 Soy consumption has been shown to significantly improve a woman’s comfort and health during perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause. A medical review in American Family Physician (the journal of the prestigious American Association of Family Physicians) found that soy can significantly improve the discomforts of menopause. A recent Revival clinical trial also showed very positive benefits. Typical hot flash reduction was nearly 40% in just 12 weeks in a clinical study.

Scientists became very interested in soy’s potential role for menopause health support after demographic studies revealed that only ~9% of women living in Asia, where the diet is rich in soy, experienced hot flashes during mid-life, in contrast to almost ~80 to 90% of Western women who experience menopausal discomforts.

Because soy can support menopausal health, and may also promote normal bone and cholesterol health, many doctors and healthcare providers now recommend soy as part of a healthy midlife strategy.

Results from a published menopausal discomfort study at America?s leading hospital documents that Revival can reduce hot flashes and night sweats naturally. Women experienced significant improvements in midlife quality of life with daily Revival Soy use (one serving per day). It’s that simple and delicious!¹

Whether you need more energy to keep up with a busy schedule, your daily work  out or to simply enjoy life, soy protein may support better energy levels by providing protein as an energy source. Soy antioxidants may also neutralize free radicals during exercise better than whey protein.

Are Soy proteins beneficial for BodyBuilding?

1. Soy protein increases the nutritional value of other foods due to its complete amino acid profile.
2. Soy protein has a 1.0 PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid score) score – the highest possible. The PDCAAS is the standard measurement of protein quality.
3. Soy has been shown to reduce the likelihood of heart disease through its ability to lower cholesterol. Results from a meta-analysis of 38 clinical studies concluded that soy protein consumption may help lower total blood cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol as compared to animal protein consumption.
4. In 1999, the FDA determined that four-servings of soy protein per-day could reduce LDL cholesterol (the bad type, HDL being the good) by up to 10%.
5. Although soy helps to lower LDL, it doesn’t effect HDL status, which is also a good thing. The American Heart Association also recommends the consumption of soy protein (with naturally occurring isoflavones) as part of a heart-healthy diet for those with elevated total and LDL cholesterol.
6. Soy protein is also thought to reduce the risk of other illnesses such as colon, breast and prostate cancer, as well as osteoporosis. Research has shown several bioactive compounds found in soybeans (isoflavones being one) to reduce the risk of certain cancers⁷.
7. Soy enhances athletic performance. The isoflavones found in soy protein produce antioxidant effects, which speed recovery and reduce muscle soreness and inflammation.
8. In addition, soy does supply a full complement of amino acids for the exercising muscles – muscles will become larger and stronger with soy protein. In fact, athletes who incorporate both soy and whey protein in their nutritional regimens may benefit from their different rates of digestion and amino acid absorption. Whey protein digests more quickly, while soy protein digests more gradually. Together, they may provide a more prolonged, deliberate release of amino acids to key muscle groups.
9. Cost: one of the biggest benefits to the consumer is the considerable reduction in cost, using soy will present. With whey protein costs soaring, soy might prove to be much less expensive (around two-dollars-per-pound less).
10. . Beneficial for women’s health. Consuming soy protein has a number of benefits unique to women’s health, including the alleviation of symptoms associated with menopause, the protection of bone health and the a reduction of the risk of breast cancer.

Revival Soy protein has key nutritional qualities that support energy levels, stamina, and sports performance (better lean muscle mass, endurance and recovery time).

1. Soy protein is rich in "branched-chain amino acids" which the body can burn as "fuel" to produce energy.
2. As a complete protein, soy helps to build and maintain lean muscle mass.
3. Soy may help support a hormonal profile that promotes muscle formation.
4. Soy may help sustain endurance levels during exercise.
5. Soy may help improve recovery time.
6. Soy helps support a healthy cardiovascular system (critical for exercising or an active lifestyle).
7. Soy may support better antioxidant health for exercise than common whey protein.

Suggested Usage: Enjoy 1 naturally-concentrated (6x) Revival bar or shake per day with a good multivitamin. Use Revival’s baked soy chips, soy pasta, soy nuts, & soy "coffee" to boost protein intake, decrease between-meal/late-night snacking, and to increase energy.

CAN SOY REALLY HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT?

An estimated 61% of American adults are now considered overweight or obese, with the biggest weight gain among Baby Boomers age 50 and older. Although this generation is taking more preventive health measures such as routine mammograms, prostate screenings and physicals, the 50-plus crowd has nearly doubled its weight over the past two decades.

Even though millions of us spend untold amounts of money in an attempt to lose weight, Americans are heavier than ever. As we grow older, and exercise less, the task of staying fit and trim becomes even more difficult. And while a sensible diet combined with exercise is still the best answer, new research shows that soy can play a major role in helping you achieve your weight loss goals faster.

A significant number of research studies support claims that soy consumption can help you lose weight. Soy protein is a low-fat source of high-quality protein (compared to many other protein sources) that can help you build lean muscle mass. Plus, soy protein provides a good source of energy. When combined with exercise and a healthy diet, soy protein makes an excellent "partner" in a successful diet plan.

1) Soy protein helps you feel fuller longer.

Recent medical studies show protein helps you feel less hungry, and helps you feel fuller longer.1 Eating soy protein may work by causing your stomach to send an "I’m full" message to your brain.2 This helps reduce the urge to snack between meals and late at night – two major causes of weight gain and dietary failures.

2) Soy protein is "low-carb."

Soy is the only vegetable that contains more protein than carbs! As a naturally low-carb food, Revival is the perfect supplement to any weight loss plan, including popular "low-glycemic", "low-carb" and "high-protein" diets. Revival has low-carb, low-glycemic bars and shakes that come with your choice of sweetener – Fructose, Sucralose, or Unsweetened.

3) "Low-Glycemic" Smart-Carb Benefits

Not only is soy protein low in carbs and fat, but it also has a low-glycemic index which means it won’t cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels after consumption.3 This helps prevent over secretion of insulin. Insulin causes the unwanted effect of storing extra sugar in your bloodstream as body fat. Normal blood sugar and insulin health can mean fewer hunger cravings with less calories being stored as fat. Recent clinical trials conducted by Sydney University in Australia confirm Revival has a low-glycemic index.4

4) Soy protein is a complete protein.

Soy protein is the only plant protein that is a complete protein, which means it contains all 9 essential amino acids in the right balance to meet your body’s needs. This means you get the highest quality protein available, with less fat and fewer calories than many meats. And, you don’t have to worry about genetic modifications because Revival is made from genetically-pure soybeans (i.e. non-genetically modified or "non-GMO").

How do I lose weight with Revival Soy?

If you are tired of "magic pills" and fad diets, Revival is a healthy alternative that actually works. How? Eating decent soy protein and soy isoflavones is all important to obtain soys full benefits. An outside panel of leading soy researchers recommended that further than 100 milligrams of soy isoflavones per day are necessary to achieve all of the potency health benefits of soy isoflavones.

Asian isoflavone intake levels of adequate to 150-200 milligrams per day have been quoted in the prestigious journals of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Menopause.2,3 A study in Taiwan found that children eat about 40 milligrams of isoflavones per day.4 Asian populations have taken in soy-rich diets for thousands of years as enjoying excellent health. You can easily control your isoflavone intake level with Revival Soy. in example if you want to eat 80 milligrams of isoflavones per day, simply enjoy 1/2 of a naturally concentrated Revival bar or maybe a shake daily (each bar or shake contains 160 milligrams of soy isoflavones). Recent medical studies reveal protein helps you feel less hungry, and helps you feel fuller longer.

It’s simple. Enjoy a naturally-concentrated (6x) Revival Bar or Shake as a meal supplement with a multivitamin. Use Revival Baked Soy Protein Chips, Protein-Packed Soy Pasta, Crunchy Soy Nuts and other protein snacks to boost protein intake, decrease between-meal/ late-night snacking & increase energy. Use as part of any diet plan!

Use as part of a reduced-calorie diet with exercise. Pack in the protein to reduce hunger. Eat at least 5 servings of antioxidant-rich fruits & vegetables. Stick to complex carbs and whole grains. Get at 25-30 g of soluble fiber daily. Reduce fat intake. Eat smaller portions

How are Revival?

Revival Soy products have been shipping since 1998. Within two years of its establishment Physicians Pharmaceuticals was shipping up to 7,000 shipments per month^[2]. With the surge in soy protein interest associated with the FDA-approved soy protein heart health claim, Physicians Pharmaceuticals continued to see a rapid growth in their business. Physicians Pharmaceuticals sold their one-millionth order of Revival Soy products on September 21, 2004. As more soy food companies came into existence and the soy protein market began to mature, sales started to level out. In order to account for these changes in the market, Physicians Pharmaceuticals reduced staff in 2005. Today, Physicians Pharmaceuticals, makers of Revival Soy products, remains a highly profitable company with a growing number of marketing partners.

If you lead the life of the average american woman like I do, then this diet will help you too. I am able to make my body and healthy a priority without any major or disruptive changes to my lifestyle. It really was a great answer to my needs.

After hearing all about this diet, and after taking a whole lot of pressure from my family members who are on the diet, I finally took the chance and tried it. I couldnt be happier. I’m losing weight, and feeling great!

My cousin recently told me she started the GetSlim program from Freshology. She has already lost 20 pounds with the help of this diet, and the weight is staying off. I started looking for more information on it and all I hear and read is positive feedback. Seems like it really is worth the try.
