In health news, Brazilian researchers find that soy isoflavones may help improve the sleep patterns of older women. Dr. Helena Hachul of the Universidade Federal de Sao Paolo and colleagues conducted a study in which 80 milligrams of the soy-based supplement were given to post menopausal women for four months. More than 50% of the group reported that they were able to sleep better at night by the end of that time.

Our thankfulness, Dr. Helena Hachul and co-researchers, for highlighting one of the benefits of soy products. May we continue to discover more of the many ways we are enhanced by Nature’s abundant bounty.
