WHEY PROTEIN

Whey protein is a high-quality complete protein found in dairy products.  It is a totally complete protein, provides amino acids, which helps to maximize and build the muscles.  In short, it helps in the traning program for muscles. 

Whey protein can be found in powders, drink mixes, energy bars, yogurt, and other foods. Whey protein powder is very convenient and can be added to oatmeal, smoothies, mashed potatoes, or other common home-cooked foods.

Whey protein is the best source of the branched-chain amino acid “leucine” to initiate protein synthesis in muscle. Most amino muscle tissue; however, BCAAs, like leucine, can bypass the liver. As a result, individuals who exercise regularly may in leucine to help speed the rebuilding of muscle after working out.

Whey protein is mostly favored by bodybuilders because it provides the necessary building blocks to produce the amino acids that the body uses to build lean muscle tissue. It is also thought that whey protein has a role as an anti-oxidant and immune system builder.  It is best taken in powder form mixed in juice or milk, spread throughout the day to maintain a positive nitrogen balance.  Whey protein is a relatively safe supplement but no more than 30 grams of protein should be taken at one sitting as excessive single doses could overload the liver.

Maintain a Healthy Weight: A reduced calorie, higher protein diet including whey protein may improve the quality of weight loss by helping you lose more fat and/or maintain more lean muscle.  Curb Hunger: Calorie for calorie, whey protein can help you feel full of energy than carbohydrates or fats.  Get Lean: Consuming whey protein and performing resistance exercise regularly can help build more lean muscle than resistance training alone or resistance training combined with carbohydrate consumption.  Enhance Recovery: Consuming whey protein after exercise helps to build and repair muscle.  Reduce Muscle Loss: Older people may be able to reduce the age-related decline of muscle mass by engaging in resistance training and consuming whey protein.
