As a woman striving for healthy living, you`ve probably heard about proteins to essentially build up your sound body. But have you ever thought of how you consume them? Pity as it is, most ladies tend to eat high-protein food, with only a few thinking of the way they do it. Indeed, this organic substance lays a smooth path to much prettier curves and far better health, but only if used right. See below the things you could have not done pursuing healthy lifestyle.
It`s a smart solution to use proteins every time you eat
If you are that one eating cereals in the morning, give it up! It`s not your type, if you are seeking for healthy intestines and attractive posture. It`s erroneous to believe proteins will make you fat – as they won`t. In fact, your blood requires protein all day long to regulate sugar, which is actually responsible for your overall condition. So, get into a habit of starting your day with a protein-rich meal, and make sure your every next food contains up to 30 grams of this constituent.
It`s good to complement proteins with carbohydrates after physical trainings
Perhaps, the very word ‘carbohydrates’ in one line with ‘trainings’ seems odd enough. However, you were definitely wrong if omitted them in your nutrition after exercises. Since your workouts naturally damage the myofibers, which are in charge of your strength, you need a smart after-training diet to have those magic fibers alive. Such diet should necessarily include the amino acids contained in proteins, but it`s the carbohydrates that carry those acids through the cells of your organism. No carbos – no fitness. Hence, drink some choco milk after training.
It`s savvy to get protein from a variety of sources
Don`t get used to eating the same food every day, or else you run the risk to have merely proteins, with many other useful substances missing. Eat them in mixtures – let it be combinations of vitamins, fats, minerals and, of course, your favorite carbohydrates.
It`s not always necessary to use protein additives
With the in-product proteins to lack some vital amino acids, many ladies suppose they need to supplement their diets with protein additives. However, it`s only partially true: such complements are rational if consuming a little quantity of protein-rich products. In case your food is sufficient to meet the daily protein norm, you don`t need any additives of the sort. Eat well-boiled eggs, sugar-free yoghurts, nuts and seeds, to name a few.
It`s very bad to overdo with commercial proteins
Actually, you are discouraged against any ready-made labelled protein drinks available at every store in the neighborhood. And their being protein-low is just half the problem. The toughest is their sugar satiation. You are experiencing a kind of placebo, which at best does no good.
The above truths about one of the most useful body elements to be revealed, now you can reconsider your dietary behavior towards improvement. Hopefully, your nutrition will become the right one to favorably support your active way of life.

What about whey protein? is it good or bad??

Hi SravanthiR1088,
Whey protein is the protein contained in whey, the watery portion of milk that separates from the curds when making cheese. It is a source of protein that might improve the nutrient content of the diet. and might also have effects on the immune system.
Whey protein is used for improving athletic performance, as a food supplement, as an alternative to milk for people with lactose intolerance, for replacing or supplementing milk-based infant formulas, and for reversing weight loss and increasing glutathione (GSH) in people with HIV disease.
Whey protein is also used for protein allergy, asthma, high cholesterol, obesity and weight loss, preventing allergies in infants, late-stage cancer, and colon cancer.
Whether it is good or bad depends on who is using it. Any one with concerns should talk with his or her primary care physician before using a whey protein product.

Hello LizTaylor,
Protein is found throughout the body—in muscle, bone, skin, hair, and virtually every other body part or tissue. It makes up the enzymes that power many chemical reactions and the hemoglobin that carries oxygen in your blood.
The Institute of Medicine recommends that adults get a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight per day or 8 grams of protein for every 20 pounds of body weight.
The Institute of Medicine also sets a wide range for acceptable protein intake—anywhere from 10 to 35 percent of calories each day. Beyond that, there’s relatively little solid information on the ideal amount of protein in the diet or the healthiest target for calories contributed by protein.
In the United States, the recommended daily allowance of protein is 46 grams per day for women over 19 years of age, and 56 grams per day for men over 19 years of age.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on protein in the diet.
