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.
