Last week I wrote about BCAAs and their amazing benefits. Many of you took advantage of my Naturiste Discount card and bought some BCAAs. This week I want to talk about how protein can help you burn fat, avoid osteoporosis, reduce hunger, help you sleep and much more!! I will be directly quoting info from poliquingroup. PROTEIN: Proteins are used make bone, skin, nails, hair, muscle, cells, and they play a role in the production and action of enzymes, which are involved in nearly every function in the body. Protein improves brain function and aiding many aspects of health, including cardiovascular health, disease prevention, sleep, and longevity, which are often unknown benefits within the general population. Benefits of Protein: Less hunger and lower calorie intake. High-protein diets are known for their fat-reducing benefits. One reason they work is that eating a lot of protein reduces hunger. Protein is filling and when people eat more of it they are more quickly satisfied and eat fewer calories. Easier fat loss on a calorie-restricted diet. A high protein intake not only keeps hunger at bay when trying to lose fat, it has the cool effect of increasing the amount of calories your body burns to digest it. This is called the thermic effect of food and protein requires nearly two times the calories to breakdown as carbs. Better bone density and less risk of osteoporosis. Research consistently shows that a higher protein intake increases bone density and decreases risk of osteoporosis. The rumor that a high-protein intake is bad for bones is a myth based on misunderstanding of bone metabolism. A higher protein intake improves the action of the hormone IGF-1, which is a major regulator of bone metabolism. Better brain function. Protein is a vital brain food. Eating high-quality protein that includes a variety of foods from animal sources provides the building blocks to make chemical messengers involved in energy production, wakefulness, hunger, motivation, and optimal cognition. Extra protein may be most important in cases when cognition is failing for some reason, such as in the case of ADD, when we are sleep deprived, with schizophrenia and other brain disorders, and as we age. Better sleep. High-protein diets have been found to allow people to sleep better and wake up less frequently during the night compared to high-carb diets. Scientists believe this is because protein may optimize chemical transmitter balance, making us wakeful and energized during the day, but sleepy and restful at night. Stronger tendons and faster recovery from injury. Tendons benefit in the same way that muscle does from a high-protein intake. Greater protein synthesis accelerates the repair of tissue and strengthens connective tissue for less risk of injury. Greater lifespan and better quality of life as you age. If you’re familiar with the qualities that increase longevity, you know that physical strength, muscle mass, leanness, bone health, lower blood pressure, and brain function are all principal players in keeping you alive. Favoring protein and de-emphasizing carbohydrates will improve blood sugar tolerance, insulin health, and reduce diabetes and heart disease risk as well. On the other hand, low-protein intake is a strong predictor of death in aging people because it leads to functional decline, loss of muscle mass, and frailty. So there you go! All athletes and all fitness fanatics take protein supplements. Progress is extremely limited without supplementing your diet with extra protein. If you want to lose weight, Isolate protein is the best. Isolate protein is pure protein - no carbs, no sugar, and very little calories. I buy this one at Le Naturiste: naturiste.ca/fr/produits/nutrition-sportive-proteines-pe20/proteines/iso-proteine-platinum-performance.html. I do not need to lose weight but I am trying to lose belly fat. BCAAs and Protein....for your overall health and for better results at Bootcamp!! If you do not supplement with a protein shake you are slowing down your body. See you tonight!!! No Excuses. Ever!!!!! Bring your game faces as I am bringing my best!
