Benefits of Whey Protein
by Travis Killian
In order to fuel life, our body needs a constant supply of
three major macronutrients: carbohydrates, fats, and
protein. Carbohydrates and fats help to supply our bodies
mostly with energy. Protein however is a bit different.
Protein is different from other macronutrients because it is
composed of small chains of nitrogen. These chains are
divided into even smaller chains called amino acids. Amino
acids are the building blocks of protein and thus your
muscle. Remember that our muscles are 70% water, 20%
protein, 5% fat, 5% carbs.
Because these amino acids help to build lean muscle, it is
important to consume a lot of them when you are trying to
get a better physique. This is why whey protein is so
important. Whey protein digests within a half and hour and
contains all of your essential amino acids. In addition,
whey protein is very cheap and it tastes swell as well.
The best time to take whey protein is immediately post
workout. When you exercise, you deplete your muscles of
glycogen and break your muscle tissues down. To adapt to
this stress, your body becomes more sensitive to insulin -
the hormone responsible for shuffling nutrients to your
muscles.
When insulin is released, triggered by a simple carbohydrate
drink or meal, you should then drink whey protein. Whey
protein will get to your muscles very quickly and
immediately begin to repair the damage. This means that you
can recover faster, and get results more quickly.
Whey protein is also very safe for you. There is no
evidence that says that whey protein has any harmful side
effects. With moderation, it is very safe. In fact, it can
boost your immune system and increase muscularity. Whey
protein is also natural and is found in everyday food such
as milk.
Another question about whey protein is how much should you
consume. Well, for the most part, you could consume it
during any time of the day. However, the most beneficial
times occur right after you wake up and workout. This is
because your body is sensitive and will benefit greatly from
its fast absorption.
For the other times of the day, just stick to your basic
meats and dairy products for protein. There is no need to
rely heavily on supplementation to get you results.
Remember that only proper diet and training program will get
you there, but supplements can help.
If you aren't already using whey protein, look into it right
away. You can get 5lb for under 30$ and that will last you
at least a month. You can afford to invest in your body.
It doesn't get any better than looking and feeling great. -
