THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTEIN
Protein sources:
There are many food supplements which are heaving wealthy amount of fats which are a source of calories. Each grams of fat contains 9 calories which is more source effective then protein and carbohydrates. There are two types of fats are available one is healthy fat and another is unhealthy fats. Unsaturated fats, omega3 amino acids are the healthy one and saturated fats are the envy to a normal body. Apart of it there are many food supplements which are rich in protein availability. Pinots, walnuts, cashews, pistachios, almonds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, flex seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, oats, and lentils. These are the natural winners of protein supplements. Apart of it there are few more names such as soy milk, hemp milk, soy butter, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese and cow milk. Apart of all these protein supplements milk is unique. Milk and milk derivatives are the great source of whey protein.
Whey protein:
Whey is otherwise known as maltodextrin. There is a reason behind it, most of whey protein are derived from milk derivatives. Protein is a very complex matter but whey is slight different. The word whey protein is a common thing for those who convinced by fitness. Whey protein not only give durability to the muscle, it provides a healthy metabolism so less calories are burned and the energy used by muscle exclusively.
- Whey protein promotes the growth of lean muscle mass and contains all nine types of amino acids.
- Whey protein protects against obesity. There is a reason behind it, a common body having weight of 70kg need 70gm of proteins daily and to metabolize the protein the body uses 20-30% of calories. For that reason body need more proteins. But whey protein is easily metabolized so extra protein intake is unnecessary.
- With all these yummy attributes there is a glitch remain and a name casein. Some people having trouble with milk and milk products so whey having three branched chain amino acid leucine which is helpful for these allergic reactions. Apart of it adding artificial amino spiking is also responsible for allergic reactions in processed protein supplements.
- There are many natural dairy derivatives are available which having rich content of whey as butter, cheese, yogurt many more.
Types of whey protein:
- Whey protein concentrate
- Whey protein isolate
- Whey protein hydrolysate
- Whey protein concentrate-
Whey protein concentrate is the naturally occurring whey contains natural fats and carbohydrates. The percentage of protein availability is 30-90%.
- Whey protein isolate-
It contains 90% of protein per scoop and a negligible amount of fat and lactose available in it. In isolation there is pure protein fraction are available and other natural additives are removed.
- Whey protein hydrolysate-
It didn’t spoke about the percentage of protein but in hydrolysate method it represents the maximum amounts of proteins absorption during metabolism.
Taste of raw whey protein:
As of the name raw whey are complete extraction at original form which tastes pungent and awful to eat. So it is not the perfect way to inhabit by athletes or fitness professionals. The amount of protein available in raw whey is not sufficient to nutrient athletes and apart the whey is in raw form so the percentage of whey even not sure. The best disadvantage is the raw whey is not suitable to every climate and the temperature limit is about 45 degree centigrade.
How to add flavors in raw whey protein?
There are several method to make a protein shake taste better. So let me share one. Take flex seed 50gm, pumpkin seed 100gm, chia seed 50gm, sunflower seed 100gm and a few of oats. Then add few of butter and vanilla flavor. At the end we add raw whey with few cubes of ice and blend it properly. Here the butter acts as binder to the ingredients. Then we can consume raw whey protein with yummy expressions. The best way to make unflavored whey tasty.
How to digest raw whey protein?
Whey proteins extracted from cheese in liquid form. Including whey there are few of fat and carbohydrates are present. Then dehydrate the liquid to make it a proper powder form. Then add suitable flavors and sweetening things in it. Make it a proper blend and after adding it with fresh milk the protein drink is ready. Raw whey are not that tough to digest. They are easy to metabolize and calories consuming proteins. Yes there may be trouble with casein thing which is available in milk.
