Tempeh is a fermented food from soybean tempeh fungus Rhizopus Oligosporus.Pada increase the nutritional value of approximately 2-fold after soy fermented into tempeh, such as vitamin B2, vitamin B12, niacin, and pantorenat acid.
Even the results of the analysis, nutritional content of tempeh showed mg/100 g of niacin at 1:13 tempeh weight that can dimakan.Karena niacin content in soybean is only about 0.58 mg, tempeh, can be consumed in three main forms.
A piece of tempeh contains many useful elements, such as carbohydrates, fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, enzymes, daidzein, genisten, as well as antibacterial components beneficial to health. Therefore, the Tempe-called food of all ages, because it is very good to be given to infants to the elderly
As Anemia & Osteoporosis Prevention
Tempe is believed useful to prevent anemia and osteoporosis, two diseases that affects many women, because the nature of women who have experienced menstruation, pregnancy and breast-feeding a baby.

Tempe also can act as a supplier of minerals, vitamin B12 (found in animal food), and iron that is needed in the formation of red blood cells. In addition, tempeh can also lower blood cholesterol levels. Compounds of protein, fatty acids PUFA, fiber, niacin, and calcium in the tempeh can reduce the amount of bad cholesterol.
Preventing Breast Cancer and Aging
In the tempeh also found a substance in the form isofalvon antioxidants. Like vitamins C, E and carotenoids, isoflavones are antioxidants much needed body to stop the reaction of free radical formation. In soybean there are three types of isoflavones, namely daidzein, glisitein, and genistein. In Tempe, in addition to the three types of isoflavones are also contained an antioxidant factor II (6,7,4 trihidroksi isoflavones) that have the most powerful antioxidant properties compared with the isoflavones in soy.
Research conducted at the University of North Carolina, United States, found that genestein and phytoestrogens found in soybean was able to prevent prostate cancer, breast and aging (aging). Antioxidants are biosynthesized at the time the fermentation process soybeans into soybean by bacteria Micrococcus leteus and Coreyne bacterium.
Inhibiting the process of premature aging in women
In addition to the above uses isoflavones, anti-oxidants found this one also proved able to inhibit the aging process, especially for women before the menapause. This is reinforced by research conducted by faculty of the Medical Faculty of Diponegoro University, Semarang, Dr. Dr. Prasetyowati SpKK that tests about 30 women respondents who were asked to consume capsules containing extracts of soybean tempeh isoflavones for three months.
From the results recorded, it turns their skin is more supple than the respondents are not given the isoflavone extract.
According Prasetyowati ekstrogen hormones in soy isoflavones can inhibit aging. Also eat soy to maintain the beauty in addition to secure cheap too, compared to chemical substances that promise quick results but are at risk.
Middle-aged women every day requires at least 50-100 milligrams of isoflavones. If every 60 grams of tempeh contains 10 mg of isoflavones, women in old age should eat more tofu and tempeh.
He added that the efficacy of isoflavones are not only useful for women, but eating foods containing isoflavones may prevent prostate cancer in men.
So, women and men who entered the age of 40 knowledge, it is advisable to eat more tofu and tempeh or fruit bengkoang which are also rich in isoflavones.
Tempe Benefits include:

4. Reduction of anemia. Anemias marked by low hemoglobin levels due to lack of available iron (Fe), copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), protein, folic acid and vitamin B12, in which elements are contained in Tempe.
5. Anti-infection. The survey results showed that soybean contains antibacterial compounds produced by reef tempeh (R. oligosporus) is an antibiotic that is useful to minimize the incidence of infection.
