Dr Whiting’s – Protein Deficiency The word protein is of Greek origin and literally means “of first importance”. The Greeks were very athletic people and quickly learned that higher protein and lower grains in the diet produced leaner, stronger athletes. In our country one would think that protein deficiency would be virtually non-existent but sadly this is not so. There are several reasons for potential protein deficiencies: 1. The cost 2. Digestive disturbances 3. Fear of weight gain Protein foods can be a bit more costly but not as expensive as a diet of “junk fast foods”. People seem to believe that protein foods are fattening because they are often associated with fats as in animal proteins. In general this is not the case. The major reason for obesity in humans is the over-consumption of refined carbohydrates combined with unhealthy fats. It is true that for many people protein foods are difficult to digest often producing such effects as gas, bloating and heartburn. The reason for this is a lack of natural stomach acids needed to break down the protein foods into their individual amino acids. By using a multi-faceted digestive enzyme supplement this can be overcome at any age. Be sure the formula you choose also contains betaine hcl, which stimulates the production of natural acids from the stomach, ensuring a faster digestion and absorption of essential amino acids to rebuild cells.
