How important is PROTEIN?  Here are the BENEFITS!

 

This is kind of exciting! What do you mean protein really help me keep fit and/or help me lose weight? This is a question we would be glad to answer. Protein is a vital nutrition component that greatly nourishes your body helping in cell development and tissue repair amongst other benefits like consuming enough protein can help you cut some pounds. However, according to a report published by Healthline.com; most Americans don’t get enough protein which can make your goal of achieving a healthy physique a fantasy. So, how much protein do we need? A good start is about 1/2 your body weight in grams. So if someone weighs 150lbs, that would mean getting 75 grams of protein daily. If you are active and weight training you will probably need more.

So, if you are looking forward to gaining weight or to losing a few pounds and you just can’t get enough protein intake from foods, a lot of people look for a healthy way to supplement. If this is you and you are looking for a natural high-quality protein supplements to help you lose weight, Burton Nutrition is your place. Our company specializes in health & fitness and is committed to providing you with quality supplements and protein powders including Whey which is derived from milk and Vegan which is derived from plants. 

 

Benefits of Protein

1. Weight Loss and Maintenance

Choosing whey as an alternative protein substitute is a step towards cutting weight without depriving your body vital amino acids needed for tissue repair and cell formation. Our protein powders are cholesterol free, grass fed and low in fat which ensures a reduced caloric intake. In addition, protein can boost your rate of metabolism which will helps burn fat.

The fact that our protein has a low glycemic index and zero sugars makes them ideal for those with unstable glucose levels. This ensures balanced insulin secretion (fat-storing hormone) thus reducing your craving for sugary foods. Our Protein is safe for diabetics.

 

2. Manages Hunger and Cravings 

Have you ever felt like you are starving yet you had a meal not long ago? Well, you may have loaded up on carbs and did not have enough protein and healthy fats. Protein will help you stay fuller longer. It’s always a good idea to have a combo of protein, carbs and fat with your meals.

Also, studies show that consuming protein supplements before your training or exercise can greatly reduce your urge to eat. When your hungry, your body triggers secretion of a hormone called ghrelin (signals your body that's it time to eat) which gives you those hunger pangs. Rather than settling for junk food and other sugary foods, which we crave, consider a protein shake to replenish your depleted protein reserves and stop those cravings. This technique also helps in maintaining lean muscles and helps burn extra fat thus helping to your reduce weight.

 

3. Immunity Booster 

Are you struggling with some kind of ailment? We need to keep all of our body systems in great shape. So, to boost your immunity, a dose of protein is a good option because of glutathione.

Glutathione acts as an important antioxidant in your body. 

When it comes to body immunity there are a number of highly sophisticated processes that your system undergoes. However, maintaining the glutathione level is one of the key processes that are vital for your body to ensure your body against free radicals and toxins.  Low glutathione levels create gaps in the antioxidant systems. Let’s boost that immune system!

4. Healthy Aging…FIGHT Father Time!

One benefit of getting older is wisdom …Well, that's a one good thing for sure. However, the downside of Father time is… there is a price to pay. Due to cell degeneration and muscle synthesis, we lose our youthful agility and prowess. Our bodies start to break down and since we can't go against the laws of nature…we have to FIGHT IT!

So one way to fight the aging process is making sure you get enough protein. We get this question a lot! Is there an age limit for the protein shakes? No..Actually the older we get, protein becomes more important. A protein supplement will really benefit older people because studies show protein intake diminishes as we age. So let’s FIGHT Father Time together.
