Best Protein Supplement IS NOT Whey

I would like to introduce this article by articulating that I will attack the use of a protein supplement from a distinct point of view than the ussual: “let’s make a lot of muscle mass”. While bodybuilders are clearly responsible for the debut of protein supplements into mainstream consumption they have used it for a single minded purpose. I am here to show you some different things you might not know.

Firstly I would like you to understand that the primary reason a protein supplement is so efficient at constructing muscular tissue is that it  promotes good health. Think of it this way, muscle tissue is a highly metabolically active tissue which has a lot of consumption attached  to its existence. Basically this means that you have to be at least marginally healthy to put on any kind of muscle. Consider  the last time you were sick, were you able to work out? What if you had a low level of health, do you think you would be able to  pack on as much muscle as the healthier guys.

Before going ahead I would wish to say that despite the fact I think most body builders are intelligent and health consious individuals, I think that their objective of building muscle at all costs sabotages their bodies. While I do acknowledge that some do not fall into this category I would like to caution you to never follow bodybuilders advice to the letter, even when it comes to building and maintaining muscle mass. Having said that I believe that a protein supplement is clearly one of the greatest health furthering tools to ever come out of the bodybuilding culture.

Just so we’re clear I would like to state that the intent of this article is to explore the advantages that you get to your health and your athletic prowess that come from the employment of a protein supplement.

Let’s spring into some facts:

Protein is THE macro nutrient as far as your body is concerned. Some of the roles that protein has are:

*plastic (colagen for instance is the most abundant protein in the body and it makes your figure look smooth and wrinkle free and it prevents other parts of your body from sagging)
*making hormones (insulin for example is a protein, other hormones have protein in them)
*stimulates output of GH and IGF-1 (these hormones help rebuild your body and keep you young, this is the stuff Sylvester Stallone employs to look the way he looks at 60+)
*maintaining anabolism (protein is an anabolic macro nutrient, this implies that it stimulates growth and subdues tissue breakdown)
*metabolism (protein requires more energy to be digested and so it boosts your metabolism)
*influences satiety (besides helping you loose weight by making you not eat as much, you also receive the invaluable benefit of reducing your cravings)
*ameliorating insulin sensitivity (this is plainly because neither fat, nor protein causes the release of insulin - except in very early quantities)
*it can aid you get trim by raising the calorie per centum of your diet that is derived from protein

A quality protein supplement - ie one that has no fillers and additives, has a good amino acid profile and is not allergenic to you — is one of the most simple, affordable and convenient ways to nurture your health and improve related things like memory, strength, athletic performance etc.

A big thing to understand is that betterment in metabolisim and hormone modulation promptly translates itself into numerous good things in your body.

Just to summarise

Besides constructing and maintaing lean tissue mass (which has many benefits in and of itself), you will observe things like better memory, better reflexes and reinforced athlectic ability.

You will also look younger. This is due to building healthy skin, having a leaner body and a smile on your face (guaranteed to improve attractiveness).

Protein also makes your nervous system run more efficiently. It does this by helping you make neurotransmiters and hormones.  Hormones such as human growth hormone increase bone density, muscle masss, metabolism and even affects psychological factors.

To review, this article has talked about some of the other improvements that high quality protein and a protein supplement can bring to your life.
