Tofu and Vegetable Stirfy

We are MAD for healthy food at Zing Wellbeing.

We love to make delicious and healthy recipes that fuel your body and energy 

And today we are sharing a recipe from our Zing Wellbeing program and this one uses tofu as the main protein.

And here's some reasons why we like tofu

• High in Protein: Tofu is an excellent source of plant-based protein, making it a great option for vegetarians and vegans. Protein is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
• Rich in Nutrients: Tofu is packed with essential nutrients, including iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc. It also contains all nine essential amino acids, which are crucial for various bodily functions.
• Heart Health: Tofu contains isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens that may help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Additionally, tofu is low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free, promoting cardiovascular health.
• Bone Health: The calcium content in tofu, especially if made with calcium sulfate, can contribute to bone health and help prevent conditions like osteoporosis. The isoflavones in tofu also play a role in maintaining bone density.
