AWA Sunshine Coast: Common Misconceptions About Whey Protein

 

Many women avoid using whey protein because they think it is going to make "me to big and make me bulk up going to turn me into a bodybuilder or she hulk " Whey protein alone will not make you bulk up Muscle is so much more difficult to build than that – especially for women because they lack the testosterone levels required to build big muscles. Whey protein will help you build lean muscle. Many people also think " I’m building up my muscles when i work out so I don’t need whey protein" When you work out, you’re actually breaking down your muscle tissue, this is a natural process which happens when you muscle tissue becomes depleted of its main energy source, glycogen. Protein, helps repair and build your muscle tissue back up, reducing the feeling of muscle soreness and fatigue after a workout. A high level of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) in whey protein are especially important to this process. Protein supplement is in no way supposed to replace a meal, the purpose is to supplement your diet by making sure you’re getting the right nutrients by adding to existing meals.

Around the age of 40 even healthy adults can start to lose muscle mass. Th loss of muscle mass can impact your strength, flexibility, bone health and metabolism. Consuming high quality protein in conjunction with resistance exercise has been shown to help reduce age related muscle loss, and you do not need to wait till your 40 to add more protein to your diet, the earlier you start the better to prevent or reduce age related muscle loss.

So Protein powders are NOT only for bodybuilders, Whey Protein powders are for everyone of all ages, sizes and health and fitness goals.

The key benefits:
