Whey - the what and the why!|Your body needs protein all through the day|Whey protein is available in many flavours

Why protein?
Protein is one of the main ingredients of muscle building - when you exercise hard, you tear millions of muscle fibres and they respond by healing stronger and multiplying. Your body responds and uses protein to help it rebuild them. Weight training/exercising + protein and diet = will make you stronger.Whey of life?
I thought I would look into whey protein, find out where it comes from and how it can benefit us as after our workout sessions, and try to find out how it helps. Whey is basically the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained, which I admit sounds a little grim. In short however it is a by-product of the manufacture of cheese or casein. Whey protein is considered a complete protein and contains nine essential amino acids and is low in lactose content. Whey is now used in various products – infant formulas, food supplements, ice cream, food bars and beverages – to meet a variety of health goals for people of all ages. Whey protein is proven to leave the stomach quickly, and is absorbed into our blood faster than lots of other different proteins, this helps in speedier muscle recovery. A lot of people prefer it as their choice for post-workout protein for recovery. Whey protein can also help control blood glucose levels, and it can help people who have diabetes control their diet.When your body uses whey protein

Final whey thoughts
So if choosing whey protein you must therefore do so in a sensible manner and ensure you give it some time to see results (don’t think it’s not working, it is!). Remember, protein isn't a feely type of supplement; you are not going to see and feel results immediately. Give it at least four to six weeks and then evaluate your results and go from there.Tagged: Nutrition
