Protein Power

Proteins are made up of amino acids -the main building blocks of our muscles, bones, skin, tissues, and organs. During digestion, our body breaks down protein into individual amino acids to create new proteins – so it’s important to keep our daily intake at the right levels.

Did you know your body uses more energy to digest protein compared to carbohydrates? So, to get your metabolism working harder, it makes sense to ensure you’re consuming the optimum amount of protein in your daily diet. Protein also helps to maintain muscle mass, and as muscle tissue needs to burn energy to perform their daily task of contracting and relaxing, this also is key in boosting your metabolism.

Regular exercise and the right protein intake contribute to muscle growth. High-quality proteins containing every essential amino acid are found in animal-based protein foods, such as lean poultry, beef, fish, dairy and whole eggs, and for a vegan diet from a combination of beans, lentils, whole grain and soy-based tofu.

Protein shakes and supplements can help to boost your protein levels, and whether you opt for whey protein or plant-based protein, both can contribute to muscle growth. In addition to a balanced diet, protein shakes are a convenient option for individuals and athletes always on the go.
