Why do fitness need protein powder?
What are the benefits of whey protein powder? Why do people who work out drink? Is it really that magical?
There are many sources of protein, including egg protein, soy protein, milk protein, etc. Whey protein is one of them. It's extracted from cow's milk!
Each protein has different sources and slightly different properties, so why is whey protein so popular among fitness crowds!
1. Helps build muscles
Whey protein is called the king of protein. The ingredients in whey protein can allow us to reduce the loss of muscle during training, so that our hard work will not be in vain. In addition, muscles are composed of protein, and only sufficient protein will help us build muscle fibers. They are also very helpful in repairing muscles after training.
2. Contains essential amino acids
In the human body, there are several amino acids that cannot be synthesized by themselves and must be ingested from external food. However, whey protein contains every essential amino acid so that we are not hindered by a lack of materials when building muscle.
3. Easy to carry and drink
If we want to get protein, of course we can eat it. But if you only have a short period of time and can’t prepare food yourself, then making a cup of whey protein drink is very convenient! All you need is a shaker cup with a fixed amount of protein powder, and you can pick it up and drink it at any time wherever you go!
4. High absorption efficiency
The absorption effect of each food is different. For example, in terms of protein, eggs have the best protein absorption effect. However, if you have cholesterol concerns or cannot fit in so many eggs, Then choose the whey protein drink with the second best absorption rate!
5. Replenish the missing protein
Muscle repair requires carbohydrate energy and protein, so both are indispensable. When we don’t eat enough protein throughout the day, it becomes difficult for our muscles to repair themselves. Generally speaking, the protein in a serving of protein powder is equivalent to the content of 5-8 eggs
If you can’t get enough protein at meals, rely on supplements to make up for it! Of course, the most correct approach is to choose your diet well! Don’t rely entirely on supplements!
