Why You Shouldn’t Rely Only On Whey Protein For Building Muscles

Image
Yes, you read the title correctly… Contrary to what you may have been led to believe from reading about protein supplementation online or listening to the most jacked guy at your gym talk about muscle building, supplementation, and dieting, whey protein powder, which is composed of a collection of globular proteins isolated from the liquid material created as a by-product of cheese production, is not the ultimate health food. Using whey protein can help you build muscle, and it is a great way to increase your protein intake. However, it is not the best idea to rely only on whey protein because your body needs a variety of essential vitamins and mineral to aid the process of building lean muscle mass. What other nutrients do you need? If you are unable to get all the nutrients that your body needs through a balanced diet, taking only whey protein can wreak havoc for your body. It is a great idea to opt for supplemented intake of extra nutrients to balance your dietary needs, to preven...

The Importance Of Creatine In Building Lean Muscle

Image
Creatine is a metabolite produced in the body that is composed of three  amino acids: l-methionine, l-arginine and l-glycine. About 95 percent of the concentration is found in skeletal muscle in two forms: creatine phosphate and free chemically unbound creatine. The other 5 percent of the creatine stored in the body is found in the brain, heart and testes. The body of a sedentary person metabolizes an average of 2 grams of creatine a day. Bodybuilders, because of their high-intensity training, metabolize higher amounts than that. Creatine is generally found in red meats and to some extent in certain types of fish. But it would be hard to get the amount of creatine necessary for performance enhancement from food because even though 2.2 pounds of red meat or tuna contain about 4 to 5 grams of creatine, the compound is destroyed with cooking. Therefore, the best way to get creatine is by taking it as a supplement. Let's first establish what creatine actually is. In bri...

When you’re tucking yourself in to bed at night you’re about to embark on, hopefully, what will become a 7-8 hour period full of restful sleep and recovery. However one problem with this period is that you aren’t feeding your body with the nutrients that is sometimes needs. This will become a 7-8 hour nutritional fast where your body could be missing out. In terms of digestion and utilisation of nutrients, we call this period the post-absorbtive phase.> During the first 2 hours or so after a meal the body is in what’s referred to as the post-prandial phase. During this time the body is working like a machine to synthesise new proteins and replenish glycogen stores in the muscles and liver. Once the nutrients have been delivered during this phase for storage, the post-absorbtive period is what follows. This is when the body is looking to use those stored nutrients as energy. In order to maintain blood glucose and tissue metabolism, the body starts to send out stored nutrients and a...
