Fitness Protein
Andreas Schumacher
Many fitness enthusiasts have a tough time following the information regards fitness and protein. The market is full of fitness and protein information. At each corner we can purchase a magazine which has articles about protein consumption, fitness, wellness, and health. The market is flooded by studies which are not really helpful.
With all these information you have to consider the following: Protein is an essential piece for muscle growth, fat reduction, metabolism, and to keep the insuline on a constant level to have an increase in cognitive ability and performance. In addition, it helps to prevent diseases and increases the recuperation after a workout or game. Reha-patients recover quicker if the protein intake is increased.
Sports person, fitness -, and health enthusiasts should consume at least 1,5-2 gram protein per bodyweight kg (2,25 pounds). The major protein source should come from the main dishes. Powder products are an excellent source for meals in between, breakfast, before, during, and after your workout, after your game/competition, and shortly before you go to bed.
In case you are carb intolerant you have to increase the protein intake even further. Up to 3 grams per bodyweight kg are necessary. Athletes in a preparation period/pre-season should consume between 2-3 grams of protein per bodyweight kg. Of course the success and intake varies from person to person.
With protein powders you have to consider the following: Powders need to be consumed in cycles to increase their effectiveness and efficiency. After a 5 week long intake a pause of 2-4 weeks should be taken before you start taking powder products again. The reason is simple and can be followed by anyone: Would you eat potatoes 5 weeks long twice a day ? After a certain period of time the body would absorb only half of the nutrients.
The following protein products can be purchased from the Nutreas store:
