 Whey Protein for Body Structure
The primary macronutrient your body uses to build and repair structure is protein. If you do not eat enough protein and don't use protein properly in metabolism through exercise, then nothing else in a structural sense is going to work very well. When you don't have enough dietary protein then your body is forced to catabolize (break down) structural proteins like your muscles to use for other needs. It is simply not possible to maintain healthy body structure without adequate protein. Our government thinks adequate protein is 10% of your calories (200 calories of a 2,000 calorie diet or 50 grams of protein per day). The same amount is suggested for a 110 pound woman and a 180 pound man, with no thought given to the amount of physical activity or health issues of any one person or to the quality of protein being consumed. A much better way to look at the protein issue is to get at least of your ideal body weight in grams of protein per day. If you have a physically demanding lifestyle (work or exercise) you will need closer to 2/3 of your ideal weight in grams of protein per day. Athletes and overweight invididuals may need more, as might individuals recovering from an accident or surgery. The quality of protein you consume is another huge issue. Vegetarians often have trouble getting adequate protein from beans, nuts, and various grains, in a form their bodies can easily use to support structure. It is much easier to get complete proteins from meat, dairy, and eggs. Soy protein is anti-thyroid, especially in large amounts of soy powder supplements. While soy prepared by traditional fermentation is fine for most people in smaller amounts, and those of Asian descent, soy is very difficult to metabolize for most people of European descent. The highest quality protein supplements are made from whey, and within this class of supplements there are huge quality differences. At Wellness Resources we use the absolute finest whey protein that is specially filtered to remove lactose and cholesterol without breaking or damaging any of the protein molecules. Glycomacropeptides are left in tact (an important structural building block) as are immunoglobulins and anti-oxidant forming peptides. We believe once you try our Daily Protein Plus™ it will be your favorite breakfast. It is a great way to get your day started, and ensures you don't short yourself on your vital need for protein.
