1. How to eat whey protein powder
protein is the foundation of life, and it is the main component of human tissues. All cell tissues of human body are made up of protein. So, how to eat whey protein powder?
Whey protein has high nutritional value, but not everyone needs to supplement it. Whey protein, as a high-quality protein, is more suitable for infants, the elderly, sports people and preoperative and postoperative patients.
how to eat whey protein powder? Whey protein powder product is pure whey protein without any other nutrients, so it is not suitable for infants. Infants should eat special infant formula milk powder, and the protein in the formula milk powder is adjusted, and the proportion of whey protein is higher.
People who exercise drink 22-45g within 3-4 minutes after exercise, which can eliminate fatigue and enhance energy.
whey protein powder provides amino acids needed by the body's metabolism. Whey protein contains all kinds of essential amino acids needed by human body, and its amino acid proportion structure and functional characteristics are similar to those of human milk. β -lactoglobulin and α -lactalbumin are excellent sources of branched-chain amino acids and essential amino acids respectively. Help improve the immune system function and enhance resistance. Immunoglobulin and lactoferrin have immune activity and anti-oxidation ability, which can completely enter the proximal small intestine, protect the intestinal mucosa, eliminate or inhibit bacteria and improve immunity. Adjust the balance of water and electrolyte in the body and enhance the anti-fatigue ability of the body.
2. Precautions for eating protein powder
1. Do not take it on an empty stomach. Eating protein powder on an empty stomach will be consumed as a general "heat-producing food", which wastes valuable high-quality protein sources. Therefore, eat some other foods before or at the same time as eating protein powder. Patients can only eat liquid, and protein powder can be added to milk, soybean milk, cereal, malt extract and other foods to eat together.
2. Eat warm or cold, not hot or scalding. Whey protein powder contains many active substances with special physiological functions. They are all afraid of heat, and once heated, they will lose their activity, thus greatly reducing their biological potency. Therefore, whey protein powder must not be cooked or scalded, but can only be dissolved (mixed) in water, porridge, malt extract and other foods below 4℃, and can also be eaten as a cold drink.
3, add spices to control. Protein powder can be added to a variety of foods, such as sweet ones with sugar and salty ones with salt, but not too much. Because excessive intake of sugar and salt is not good for human health. Also, don't add monosodium glutamate when eating protein powder, because protein powder itself has a certain flavor, and the amino acid composition ratio in whey protein powder is better, while monosodium glutamate is the component of monosodium glutamate, which decomposes glutamic acid after metabolism in the body. Adding monosodium glutamate to protein powder is tantamount to gilding the lily.
4. Children under three years old should not eat it. The best nutrition for babies is breast milk. If children can't eat breast milk for various reasons, they should choose formula milk powder of corresponding months or ages instead of protein powder, because the protein composition of the latter is not suitable for young children, and it is not conducive to children's digestion and absorption, which may cause vomiting, diarrhea or allergies after eating.
5. Don't eat with acidic drinks. Apple juice and other beverages contain organic acids, which will form clots when they meet with protein powder, affecting digestion and absorption.
6. Special patients should consult their doctors before eating. The protein contained in protein powder is of high quality. In vivo, it is decomposed by the liver, and then synthesized into its own tissue components, and its metabolites are excreted from the urine through the kidney. Patients with existing liver and kidney diseases and other serious diseases may increase the burden on organs after eating protein powder. Therefore, you should consult your doctor before eating protein powder, and then decide whether you can eat it. If you want to increase the consumption of protein powder, you should also listen to the doctor's advice.
