Taylor Ryan
Many women are straight out scared of taking supplements especially that have to do with pre and post workouts. For one thing you are probably nervous about putting something in your body that could have adverse side affects or your might have the idea that taking any kind of exercise related supplement will cause you to get bulky like a man. Rest assured, I am very particular about what I am putting into my body all the time. I hate the idea of eating or taking something that I am not sure about what it is suppose to do or what side effects might be caused. If you are interested in better health and improved physical fitness or if you have been working out a long time then you have surely heard of whey protein. Whey is the only supplement I take besides my daily multivitamin that I feel safe taking. So lets cover a few questions or concerns many women have about taking protein.
Why do people use whey? Protein levels are depleted through exercise. Muscles require amino acids (the building blocks of muscle) to prevent deterioration, to give endurance and tone up muscles. Proteins supply these amino acids to the muscles which is why many athletes and exercise lovers use whey protein. If you want to gain muscle you have to make sure you have the building blocks for it. Women need protein the same ways that men and athletes do if you're looking to help add great, sexy definition to your body! What is whey protein Commercial whey protein comes from cow's milk. It is the by-product of making cheese and was usually thrown away as a waste product. Now researchers know that whey is a high quality, natural protein that is rich with amino acids essential for good health and muscle building. It is naturally found in mother's milk and also used in baby formula. It is being considered for use as a fortifier of grain products because of its considerable health benefits and bland flavor. Although protein is also found in other foods such as meat, soy and vegetables, whey protein is proven to have the highest absorption (digestion) levels in comparison to all others. Who should use whey? It has many health benefits including: immune support, bone health, sports health, weight management and overall well being. And as women with a fitness training program, we need all the help we can get to keep our bones strong and supportive. Plus overall health is not a bad thing either. The better nutrition you have in your life the less likely that the flu or other bugs will come knocking on your door. Because amino acids are 'building blocks' for the human body it is sometimes used by patients to speed up the healing of wounds or burns. The high quality protein that comes from whey makes it a recommended choice for women who need optimal benefits from restricted diets including diabetics, those on weight management diets and even ill patients not able to consume enough protein in their diet to assist with healing. Is taking whey dangerous? Whey protein is a food and so it does not have have the risks associated with other supplements. That said, too much of anything carries risks. Extremely high use of whey protein can overload the liver which can cause serious problems. Moderation is always recommended. If you are lactose intolerant you might try whey protein isolate which has less than 1% lactose and should be tolerable for most users. Keep this in mind it is a natural and healthy way to bring protein into any women's workout program, diet and increase well being. No, women lack the hormones that men have that allow them to get those large bulky muscles. Women will get an overall toned appearance without looking like the Hulk. Those women you see in body building competitions more often than not achieve their unusual frame by injecting additional hormones (steroids) or supplements into their body. But no, with the use of whey you will not look like these women. SOME Shake Ideas: If you buy the powder you will be able to do a lot more than just simple shakes. You can be really creative with shakes! Mix the whey with milk and maybe add some strawberries or blueberries to make the best shakes around! When you bake cookies scoop some whey in for a power cookie. If you drink coffee but some chocolate whey in to make a great mocha. The possibilities are endless, get your creative juices going!
