Dr. Cui Zhenqin
Soy milk is relatively low in calories, and moderate consumption will not lead to weight gain. Although soy milk is a soy-based product, excessive intake may contribute to weight gain. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet with appropriate proportions of animal- and plant-based foods, consume more whole grains and dietary fiber, and limit high-sugar, high-calorie, and high-fat foods. Regular outdoor physical activity is encouraged to enhance immune function, and adequate, timely rest should be ensured.
