The results showed that soya flour consumption improved the nutritional status, FER,PER, blood lipids, and increased hemoglobin levels. Therefore, the researcger recommends postmenopausal women to eat soy flour ,soybeans and soy products which is rich in isoflavons that improve estrogen hormone level, hence reduces osteoporosis, heart and cardiovascular diseases risks | ||||
