Protein, Casein, And Glutamine – An Overview

As you may know, protein is the main building block of muscle tissue and is the primary component of hair and skin. For this reason, it is important that we take in enough protein at all times. The problem then, is that some people seem to nauseate when they eat foods that contain protein. Now I’m sure that we all have eaten foods that contain protein that our bodies did not like, at one time or another. For those of us that hate eating chicken, beef etc., how can we go about getting some protein? You got it, protein is derived from animal meat, dairy products, and eggs. With that said, let’s take a closer look at how you can get your daily fix of protein.

Protein – What you don’t want to think about is that many foods that are considered to be healthy foods actually strip the body of protein. Foods such as milk, cheese, ice cream, puddings, and even soy sauce, all stripping away valuable nutrients from the body, damaging the kidneys, and causing digestive problems. The goal is to seek foods that are as high in protein as possible, do not strip the body of protein; and stay away from milk. High protein foods are essential to fitness and body building, therefore it is always a good idea to incorporate protein into your diet. Kitchen delights like chicken breasts, lean meats, nuts & seeds, and low fat dairy products are all terrific high protein foods that you can consume every day.

So if you think you are on a high protein diet you may be losing muscle mass; and you want to know what you should do. Below you will find some helpful information on protein, carbohydrates, and fat; how they all affect your body, and what you can do to avoid fat gain.

Protein Home Remedies:*Ginkgo Biloba: This supplement is one of the most expensive on the market. pros: Ginkgo Biloba works by increasing blood flow to the brain.Cons: It is not cheap.lde dosage: About $25 per month.

Whey Protein:Whey protein is an excellent source of protein for a weight gain build up diet. I should caution you; it is not cheap. A month’s supply of whey protein at a gym can set you back $100. So if you’re looking to build muscle, paying an extra $100 a month for protein is not the best choice possible. Eggs: Eggs are great for muscle build up; but most people are afraid of high cholesterol. This is not true. Eggs are high in protein; and we love eating them.High protein diets:* Eggize – Eggs Per day: 1 – 2 eggs per day (depending on how lean you want). Body builders need 1 an egg a day.95% of egg is made of protein.

Meat: Big meats take longer to digest than other lean meats; therefore you can feel tired after a meal with steaks and hamburgers. I included a picture of what your stomach should look like. Red Meat: (lean meats) – 27% protein* Beef – 29% protein* Pork – 26% protein* Fish – 23% protein

Low Carb: I like to refer to this approach as eating like your mom used to. You want to get most of your protein from plants and yourself. Food List:* Vegetables: asparagus, green asparagus, watercress, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, onions, brussel sprouts, zucchini* Lean protein: beans, lima beans, soy beans, navy beans, white beans, chicken, turkey, egg drop, shrimp, tuna* Fruits* 45 – 65% of your fruit intake should be consumed in the form of fresh* Yogurt* Cereals and grains: high fiber rice, barley, oats, white flour, wholegrain, pasta, bread, nut, potato, etc.

Fat: Fats get a bad rap, but actually have several jobs in the body. They are necessary for survival. As a matter of fact, your body uses fat in the form of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Fats also produce energy for the body to function. Low levels of dietary fats has been linked to cancers of the breast, colon, prostate, and Skene. High fats are definitely not who we should be aiming for.

Don’t worry if this is overwhelming to you. I understand. I grew up in a time when we were first introduced to the papaya and blueberry. Although these tastes may be vastly different from one another, they are still filled with the same nutritional needs. They are also delicious, full of flavor, and easy to incorporate into your diet.
