PROTEINS
Protein helps athletes significantly improve their physical shapes and reach sporting achievements. It’s also a crucial part of the processes that make your body shape more beautiful and help with weight loss.
More information about protein
Protein is the substance which helps the body build cells, including muscles. Protein can be animal or plant based. It’s contained in food: meat, eggs, beans, fish, shellfish, some vegetables, fruits, and cereals.
Protein is a must-have for athletes who want to stimulate muscle activity and build a beautiful body. The amount of protein in sports protein supplements is far more than in any natural product. There are animal and plant proteins, so even vegans can find the proper protein for their purposes.
Proteins have nothing in common with pharmaceuticals and medicines. It’s a pure protein concentrate of a natural ingredient.
Why your body needs protein?
Protein plays an essential role in an athlete's eating plan as it:
- serves protective functions of the body
- promotes muscle growth
- helps in weight loss (protein makes you feel full without eating heavy carbohydrate foods, as a result, a daily intake of calories decreases and the process of losing weight starts working)
-benefits of protein for women. It’s needed for dieting and muscles building. In general, amino acids have an antioxidant effect which helps to improve hair and skin conditions.
- protein can also be very beneficial for non-athlete, especially if the diet is not balanced. However, in this case the consumption rate will be lower than the athletes’ one.
Different types of protein
There is a lot of various protein types differing in the raw material and production technology.
- Whey protein is made of milk whey. It’s considered as one of the best types in terms of the value of the biological composition. The major constituents of whey proteins include vitamins of A, PP, B2 groups, organic acids and minerals (iron, iodine, phosphorus).
- Soy protein contains approximately 90% protein (dry weight basis) and it’s very popular among bodybuilders. Soy is the cheapest source of protein. Soy protein is also suitable for vegetarians. It’s quite useful for women since it includes a large number of phytoestrogens and allows to balance the hormonal status.
- Casein protein. A complete protein is contained in milk in the form of calcium caseinate. It’s a source of slow digesting protein. Casein protein has a high biological value, saturates the body for quite a long time and, as a result, prevents overeating. It also feeds your cells with amino acids over a long period of time, precluding catabolism. And on top of that, casein protein prevents muscle breakdown during the night.
-Egg protein contains a large number of amino acids (slow protein). Put another way, it’s constantly providing your body with amino acids and preventing muscle tissue breakdown. Lactose and fat free.
