Experts say:
The method of taking is particular.
How to eat protein powder? Professor Donglian Cai said that there are four points for attention when taking protein powder.
First, don't take it on an empty stomach. Eating protein powder on an empty stomach will be consumed as a general "hot food", wasting valuable high-quality protein sources.
Second, add seasoning control. You can't add too much sugar and salt.
Third, don't eat with acidic drinks. Apple juice and other beverages contain organic acids, which will form clots when encountering protein powder, affecting digestion and absorption.
Fourth, if you take whey protein powder, you should pay special attention not to overheat. Because whey protein powder contains many active substances with special physiological functions, once heated, it will lose its activity. Therefore, whey protein powder can not be boiled, but can only be dissolved (mixed) in water, porridge and other foods below 40℃, and can also be eaten as a cold drink.
In fact, in the commodity society, the prices of all commodities are different, which is not easy to evaluate.
As for the quality: champion pure whey protein is more old-fashioned and reliable (not for advertising), and people around you say so.
As for the side effects:
Special people should seek medical advice before eating protein powder; If you want to increase the consumption of protein powder, you should also get the doctor's consent.
Patients with liver diseases should appropriately increase the intake of protein because of the obstacles in the processing and utilization of protein by the liver. However, for patients with hepatic coma and advanced cirrhosis, too much protein will increase the burden on the liver and aggravate the condition, so animal protein should be restricted.
Patients with renal diseases should strictly limit the intake of protein, mainly protein containing 9 essential amino acids, and the amount of protein should be limited to 20g ~ 40g/ day.
Gout patients should avoid eating protein powder with soybean protein as the main component. Because the purine in soybean will increase uric acid in the body and promote or aggravate gout.
In addition, children under three years old are not suitable for eating. The best nutrition for babies is breast milk. If children can't eat breast milk for various reasons, they should choose formula milk powder of the corresponding month or age instead of protein powder, because the protein component of the latter is not suitable for children, which is not conducive to their digestion and absorption. It is likely to cause vomiting, diarrhea or allergies after eating.
Protein powder has outstanding advantages. But most people eat it and get only the value of an ordinary food, which is completely inconsistent with its expensive price. Only a few people who meet the indications can take it to reflect their health care and medical nutrition (adjuvant therapy). Generally speaking, there is no shortage of protein for urban residents, and there is absolutely no need to blindly supplement protein powder.
Reminder: While supplementing protein, we should also pay attention to supplementing carbohydrates (sugars), lipids, vitamins and minerals. Because the lack of these nutrients will not only affect the utilization and metabolism of protein, but also cause some diseases, which is very harmful to health.
