Protein powder can increase muscle strength, lose weight, supplement nutrition and enhance immunity…
These legendary effects make protein powder look very classy, and it seems that buying it and giving it away is more distracting and has more face. Many friends around Dr. Clove will buy it.
Protein powder, which sells health, nutrition and health care, has the same texture and sweet taste as milk powder and is rare [delicious].
However, there are also many controversies about protein powder. Today, Dr. Clove will come to talk to you.
Is protein powder nutritious?
As a kind of food, protein powder has nutrition, but it also has deficiencies.
- Advantages: much protein, very convenient. Disadvantages: incomplete nutrition, high price.
The main component of protein powder is protein, the most common being [soybean protein isolate] and [whey protein], which come from soybean and milk respectively.
As to whether protein powder should be eaten or not, there are two voices.
Supporters say:
Protein is an important nutrient to maintain health. It is the raw material for muscle growth. You should eat more protein powder to supplement it.
Opponents say:
Although protein is important, all kinds of meat, eggs, milk and beans are rich in protein. Moreover, eating too much protein may also increase the burden on the kidney.
Dr. Clove tells you that no food is [omnipotent], and so is protein powder.
Its main component is protein, which is relatively single and cannot replace normal meals or cure and prevent diseases. However, it is indeed helpful to the health of specific groups.
Who can supplement protein powder?
In short, protein powder is suitable for:
People who cannot eat well or are in great demand for protein.
Dr. Clove gave a few examples:
1. Older people with poor appetite
Many old people suffer from dyspepsia or poor mouth, loss of appetite and inability to eat. Over time, malnutrition and serious mental and physical decline will occur.
At this time, the advantages of protein powder are reflected: easy to swallow, simple to eat and no teeth.
2. Work maniacs who often have no food to eat.
Many people in the workplace are always on the road or busy until dark. At such a rhythm, it is simply extravagant hope to eat well on time.
Although protein powder cannot replace a meal, drinking a cup when hungry is better than eating nothing.
3. Special patients
For example, anorexia, poor gastrointestinal absorption function, and patients undergoing large-scale surgery, etc. Due to the special state of the body, you need to eat more protein, and you may as well make some protein powder.
However, some patients, such as those suffering from liver and kidney diseases, must follow the doctor’s advice in their diet and do not use protein powder at will to [supplement nutrition].
4. Exercisers with High Intensity Training
In order to gain muscle, fitness people not only practice hard, but also eat more.
Although eating more meat, eggs and milk can also achieve the goal, protein powder is more convenient by contrast. It is much easier to make a cup after exercise than frying chicken breast and boiling eggs.
5. Pregnant and nursing women
It is very important for women during pregnancy and lactation to eat well. However, early pregnancy vomiting and strange tastes during pregnancy may cause insufficient food.
At this time, you can consider adding a proper amount of protein powder to make up for the shortage of diet.
No matter what kind of people, Dr. Clove once again stressed the need for [moderate amount].
Can ordinary people eat?
Yes, but there is no need.
Ordinary people eat protein powder, the effect is not great. If you eat too much carelessly, it will increase the amount of [exhaust] every day, which is still the kind with strong lethality.
Therefore, if you can eat well every day and do not take high-intensity exercise, it is really unnecessary to eat. Dr. Clove suggested:
Saving money to buy meat, eggs and milk is actually more realistic.
But if you think:
- Eating protein powder feels more compelling and tasteful. No matter whether you practice today or not, you can grow muscles after eating it. Although I didn’t eat less meat, eggs and milk, I just felt that protein was not enough. My wallet is too bulging and I feel very uncomfortable.
Then…… Just be casual.
