WHY WHEY SHOULD MAKE ITS WAY INTO YOUR DIET?
Consuming Whey Protein that is delivered to your doorstep is a neat and easy way to increase your protein intake.
But why does one care about protein anyway? Because it can do all of these at the same time! (Who would’ve thunk?):
Preserve lean muscle
Spur muscle growth
Boost metabolism
Reduce Appetite
Muscle-building and fat burning requires immense disciple, dedication and hard-work. Usually this means working out at least 5 days a week and also doing the much dreaded diet control.
But how do you know how much protein you need? Well, you need 1g of protein for every kg of body weight! That’s a fair amount of protein and usually for Indian’s we don’t end up consuming this share in a day. There are four primary benefits of Whey Protein:
STRENGTH & POWER FROM WHEY PROTEIN
Whey protein has been proven to help assist with strength, recovery and power performance. When the body exercises or physically exerts itself, stress hormones like cortisol are released. Additionally, the body requires energy and fuel to begin recovery and muscle repair. Whey protein recharges the body, replenishes the nutrients - including proteins and amino acids - and thereby switch the body from a catabolic state to an anabolic state, wherein the body begins to build muscle.
MUSCLE GROWTH FROM WHEY PROTEIN
Whey protein also helps growth and repair of muscle tissue. During workouts, our muscles wear out and so, whey protein forces nutrients into tired muscle cells after work-outs and so triggers the recovery process right away. Without this protein boost, however, the body would lack the requisite nutrients to initiate the post-workout recovery process. As such, the muscles would not repair, recover and grow and so your workout would have done your muscles more harm than benefit.
EASY FAT LOSS FROM WHEY PROTEIN
Whey proteins are a preferred source of nutrients for those looking to burn body fat while also preserving muscle mass. Protein is complex, and so the body has to break into smaller and more digestible units. As such, the body works harder and burns extra calories in digesting the protein. Additionally, protein keeps you satiated far longer and prevents unhealthy (read extra calories!!) snacking. Lastly, not only does digesting proteins require calories, but maintaining muscle requires calories too! Because the protein helps build and maintain muscle, more calories used up to maintain the body fat.
