Protein drinks for easy absorption, protein intake and/or weight loss.

Protein example drinks for a quick breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack during the day, that you can pick up at grocery stores. Quick absorption, liquid protein is always faster absorbed than solid proteins in the GI tract. It's absorbed into the stomach faster with the blood & acids.. Where carbs & digests quicker in the mouth.. As long as it still has whey protein in it. You'll get your amino acids quick.. Protein drinks or shakes besides for protein intake purposes are a way to go for weight loss so your body won't store the extra carbs or fat. It'll cause you to feel fuller. Protein will get stored as fat after adequate amounts have been used though. Look for Organic yogurt or regular shakes or drinks in a health food store if you can.. There are protein shakes u can buy at a grocery store like Walmart but non are as near natural such as Lean Body shakes.. U can buy anything from a container of whey protein, unflavored whey powder if u can find it, or premade.. I got Bob's Red Mill whey protein mix on here, it's at a local Big Lots, along with other Red Mill soup mixes, flours & other things.. Chocolate milk is said to be a good recovery drink because it has more carbohydrates in it with protein, the ratio is better. Make sure it's natural like Troo Moo, Nesquick or from the Shamrock Farm company. The milk is only good for light work outs, depending on your work outs you may need more protein up to 30g. 

 Protein: all break down into amino acids. Catabolism is the breaking down of the proteins, and then the proteins build back up, (anabolism) for the body to use. Even carbohydrates and proteins can still be changed into triglycerides or glucose for energy use, carbohydrates can be changed back but proteins can’t.  Calories from protein needs to be 10-35%. Besides meat or nuts, almonds, etc, dairy provides good protein. If you eat yogurt, look for any type of Organic live cultured yogurt brands such as Stonyfield. It must have the Organic certified symbol on the products and it’ll provide acidophilus and other probiotics as if you were supplementing with those. Regular yogurts won’t carry those. As far as hormones go, we have hGH (Human Growth Hormone) produced in the Anterior Pituitary Gland, and then IGF (Insulin-like-growth hormone) is a break down from that. Our muscles, bones, cartilage, collagen and liver utilizes IGF from hGH. We get this from animal protein, it helps build this up in our bodies. Animal protein like our dairy milk are pumped with bad hormones though. rBGH in dairy milk for example or hormones in meat cattle, it changes our cells, it increases our own hormones. Too much can cause cancer. Just like any over abundance of things.

Protein intake

Average sedentary person = .8g x body weight in kg

Endurance athletes = 1.2 - 1.4

Strength athletes including football players, etc = 1.4 – 2.0

Step 1. Calculation: body weight ÷ 2.2 = kg body weight

                        Step 2. Kg body weight x protein intake

  

Benefits of Fatty acids Omega 3s such as Salmon oil

Some of you may know what monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are, others just know there's saturated and Trans fats in the food.. If you pay attention to food labels you'll notice those two big worded fats if it's the right foods with them.. Monounsaturated fatty acids are the olive oils, canola oils, grape seed oils, etc, and the polyunsaturated fatty acids are Omega 3s such as from cold-water fish such as Salmon.. You either get it from food or have to supplement with it like the capsules I use.. You can get a stronger dosage from capsules. Supposedly they have antioxidants and flavonoids, which you want.  These are good for the heart, helps with all hormones in the body especially in females with hot flashes according to research & my mother. It wipes everything clean! Salmon oil also helps dogs, we give a capsule a day to one of our female shih-zue, with humans it indeed helps increase serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain (your feel good hormones). Therefore helps depression & stress. It balances out your chemicals or neurotransmitters. It's helped me sleep better & deeply, I dream better, wake up earlier and fresher!  It all benefits us in some way.. Salmon oil is stronger than regular fish oils. Omega 6 will increase inflammation in the body, so avoid those!  In the Salmon oil capsules as below is DHA and EPA, both good for the brain, which is why it's been helping my mood & memory.
