7. Enhance Heart Health
Several studies show phytoestrogens can improve heart health, especially during the perimenopausal and postmenopausal stages of life. This is due to the ability of phytoestrogens to treat arteriosclerosis, a condition in which fat and cholesterol build up in the arteries. Arteriosclerosis leads to a host of heart diseases including high blood pressure, hypertension, heart attacks, and strokes. Regulating the hormone levels in the body may help reduce the buildup of cholesterol in the bloodstream. Phytoestrogens do this by regulating hormone and chemical levels within the body.
