Protein Made Easy
What is protein? How much protein do I need? When should I start adding protein to my lifestyle? All questions we have all wondered at some point or may still be wondering. We are here to help! Protein can be intimidating and there are so many protein powders on the market which can make it hard to find the perfect one for you.
What is protein?
Proteins are made out of smaller molecules called amino acids. These are linked together- think of a string bean. Some of these amino acids can be naturally produced by the body while others we need to supplement from the food and drinks we choose to fuel our bodies. This is where protein powder can be a beneficial way to supplement these essential proteins.
Why do we need protein?
Protein is the essential building block for our bodies. It helps our bodies build muscle, bones, organs, hair, nails and skin. Without protein we would not be able to survive, thus protein is essential to implement in our daily lives for a variety of reasons that play into the daily function of our bodies.
How much protein do I need?
This will vary for each individual based on your weight, height and activity levels. It is suggested that you can calculate your daily protein intake with the simple equation of 0.4-0.6g protein per pound of body weight.
For example, if you are 150lb then your daily suggested protein intake would be 60g protein. We can get the majority of this from the food we eat, as well as adding protein powder to our diets.
Build Your Immune System
Protein is an essential building block of your immune system and crucial to stay healthy, help steer clear of disease and fight off viruses. As mentioned above, the amino acids found in protein are the building blocks of all the body's cells. This includes the cells that power your immune system.
To ensure a healthy and strong immune system it is essential to get your daily protein intake. This will help fight off infections, ensure quick recoveries, expedite the healing process and keep you healthy especially during the cold and flu season.
