Enclosed! The secret of celeb’s fitness. It is nothing but a protein powder. Why? because sometimes, we fail to follow certain diet schedules due to the busy ongoing schedule and lifestyle. If you feel are not getting the proper nutrition, protein powder can help you to boost the protein consumption to the correct level. When possible it is healthier to get protein from food rather than consuming powder or other supplements.
There are multiple availabilities of protein powders in the market. It’s your choice to choose one that fits your needs. Choose a high-quality protein powder which fulfill the nutrient requirements and help your muscles to recover from exercise plus, to boost your usual protein intake and to balance your health. You can buy protein powder online or at your local health food store.
Let’s take a look at what you should be looking for when you are shopping for a quality protein powder.
- Firstly, let’s be aware of Whey : Do you remember curds and whey? Surely you do. Whey is the watery liquid extracted from milk which results in cheese manufacturing. As per the sports nutrition, whey is a high-quality protein based on its protein digestibility which improves the amino acid storage. In advance, whey contains high concentrations of essential amino acids. Whey is easy to be digested but due to the thick uptake, it shouldn’t be your one and only protein source. I would look whey that has been derived from organic grass-fed cows.
- Hydrolyzed protein : Hydrolyzed protein is a protein that plays a vital role in the process of hydrolysis and broken down into small chunks known as peptides and amino acids. Basically, more than 90 percent of the calories come from protein. This type of protein can be easily absorbed and their nature might also be altered. Due to the denatured properties, it reduces the risk of allergic reactions. This kind of protein can be found in sports nutrition products, infant formulas and medical nutrition products etc.
- Casein protein : Same as whey, casein comes from milk but it is found in the solid or semi-solid form which is called as curd. But unlike whey, casein slowly gets digested and increased plasma amino acid levels in a perfectly stable way. Like whey, casein provides many advantages which relate to the nutrition system.
- Egg White Protein : Egg white protein powders are a high-quality powder supplement and an effective option for anyone to avoid dairy, soy or gluten. The taste may be toughest to swallow as compared to other protein sources but flavored powder or mixing with fruits or vegetables can improve the actual taste.
- Select high-quality source of protein : Don’t get attracted by the most grams of protein for your buck, because the quality of protein powders differs greatly. There are more products available in the market with having fewer fillers and additives. You should go for proteins that are well-tested and verified and that are organic or at least GMO-free.
Your running question must be on choosing the best protein powder. Right? Still confused on what to choose for the best health. Famous dietitian and researcher note that people spend more time on deciding between hydrolysates verses intact protein, and caseins verses whey. So they suggest, instead of focusing on certain types, choose the appropriate one that suits your lifestyle and your exercise activity.
Protein powder can help to keep your body stay fit and healthy and achieve ultimate health at any age. The human body requires certain amount of nutrients. You may try to balance that level through following a healthy diet but sometimes with your busy schedule, you might not be getting all the nutrition necessary to stay healthy and fit. With the proper protein powder you can feel a little more confident about your health and over all well-being. Through the guest post, you should be able to have a better idea of the most effective protein powder for your needs and the ingredients that they contain by following the guidance provided above and balance your health!

I go vegan protein powder that’s 100% sugar free. I cannot eat dairy so whey is a NO GO for me. However, if I did – I would certainly consume 100% grass fed/finished!
