Protein
Protein is an essential component of every cell in our body. Proteins perform a variety of functions in the body, particularly contributing to muscle growth, muscle maintenance, and the normal condition of bones. Of course, protein is found in a variety of foods (chicken breasts, eggs, almonds, red lentils, white low-fat yogurt, nuts, seeds, legumes, fish, poultry, etc.). However, in most cases, food alone does not provide the required amount of protein, so there are options to supplement protein, such as powders
Powdered protein supplements
to meet daily protein requirements. An excellent option for supplementation is the use of powdered protein supplements. The big advantage is that such supplements can be completely tasteless and unflavored, which is great because you can add protein anywhere (in soups, sauces, healthy smoothies) depending on your dosage. Of course, some are flavored in some way (vanilla, chocolate). The dosage for these food supplements varies, usually up to 4 tablespoons. If unflavored, you can put them anywhere. If you choose flavored, you can take it with water or milk. Milk tastes great, and you can add bananas or other fruits. Adding protein powder to yogurt is not a bad idea either.
You can also take a protein or protein bar after a workout. Protein bars are not everyone\’s cup of tea, as they contain other ingredients. These protein powders are a great way to increase your protein intake as needed. So don\’t hesitate to take advantage of these options. The price of such a product is not small, usually from 800 CZK and up, but the package lasts for about a month. So definitely invest the money. Of course, it is important to have a balanced and varied diet. No food supplement can replace a varied diet.
