WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT WHEY?

Whey protein has recently become very popular among athletes and bodybuilders but also among elders as its been proven to have many health benefits. Research studies have found that whey protein has the potential of decreasing cancer rates, improving the immune system, lowering levels of stress, lowering levels of cortisol, improving liver function, and healthier blood pressure to name a few. Studies have also found that whey protein has a direct effect on muscle mass and training performance.

Whey protein has a high level of BCAAs, which are amino acids used to maintain muscle mass during cardio or intense workouts. By using whey protein you’re getting high levels of clean protein, but also benefitting from a high level of BCAA.

Whey protein increases glutathione, which is the most important antioxidant in the body and is necessary for our immune system to function properly. Low levels of glutathione are found in athletes who over-train therefore whey isolate protein is important to prevent this from happening.

Looking at the benefits of whey protein, you should consider incorporating at least one shake into your daily meal plan. It is important to have a shake within 30 minutes after your workout, and you could also have one before bed, so your body can feed off the protein while you’re sleeping.
