The benefits of supplements


Chandi Schwab:
Protein is an important nutrient needed by everyone on a daily basis. It is made up of essential and non-essential amino acids, which are the "building blocks" for healthy bodies. Protein has a number of different roles in the body including the following:
1)repair body cells
2)build and repair muscles and bones
3)provides a source of energy
4)control in many of the processes related to the bodies metabolism.
5)Strenthens your nails and makes your hair
Whey protein is a very high quality complete protein with rich amounts of all of the essential amino acids. Whey Protein Isolate is the purest form of protein, which is why it is absorbed so quickly and efficiently into the body. This is why it is often the cornerstone of a nutritious lifestyle. You will find that there are 2 main kinds of protein supplements sold today whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate. Whey protein isolate is the better choice. It contains 90% or more protein and very little fat, if any. Adding whey protein to your healthy lifestyle is a great way to jump start the weight loss phase of your program. Studies have shown that individuals that combine diets with whey protein and exercise have more lean muscle tissue and lose more body fat. It also helps you manage your weight because you can replace a meal with a shake and feel satisfied faster and longer. If you haven't tried whey protein before, I recommend you give it a try. You will find that you have more energy; and for you women out there you will notice a smoother more toned body. We love making protein shakes! We have them every day when we get done working out. It is a great way to start our day. Try it!! We have posted quite a few smoothie recipes that you cancheck out!
