Thousands of fitness bloggers have set up their own channel columns, submitted videos of their own exercises, or asked you to lose weight or establish a good posture. However, in addition to chicken breast, broccoli and nuts, there is also a famous ingredient-protein powder.

Where does the protein powder come from?

Let's briefly explain that fresh milk is directly sterilized at low temperature and then separated into solid and liquid. The solid part can be used to make various dairy products, such as cream cheese, that is, people usually drink red wine with cream cheese.

The liquid part is whey protein powder, which is made into protein powder after drying. In other words, the ingredient of protein powder is protein separated from milk. I don't need to say more about protein's physical requirements. You can eat raw eggs and drink milk to get protein, and just drink protein powder to get more protein.

Generally speaking, the core of protein powder is "concentrated milk", which has no special function and is not wonderful. If you deliberately want to cultivate good-looking muscle tissue, or really need to supplement protein, otherwise you will lack nutrition. Protein powder can be drunk or not.

Myth 1: Can you grow muscles by drinking protein powder?

If you want to grow muscles, you must add enough protein. However, protein powder can't directly help you gain muscle, and if you drink it ton by ton, you can't look like Dwayne Douglas Johnson. Protein powder is a nutrient, and the most important thing is to exercise muscles. It's useless to eat anything without exercise.

Myth 2: Protein powder is too expensive. I can supplement protein by drinking milk and eating eggs.

There is nothing wrong with it, just drinking milk and eating eggs. No matter how good protein is, there is not much protein powder. The protein content of milk is 1kg 30, and the protein content of eggs is 1kg 12 1. Even for beef and mutton, the protein content is 1kg 200. The protein content of protein powder is 1 kg 800, and the difference is obvious.

Myth 3: Will drinking too much protein powder hurt your health?

In fact, eating too much of anything will harm your health, not just protein powder. According to the above data, if you drink two or three kilograms of milk and eat two or three kilograms of raw eggs every day, milk and eggs are veritable nutritious foods, so you can still take you to the hospital if you eat them.

Myth 4: Drinking protein powder after exercise can quickly replenish physical strength?

This is an incorrect idea. In fact, drinking protein powder after exercise will not accelerate your muscle recovery, nor will it make you recover your physical strength quickly. Your muscle tissue still aches when it hurts. As I said before, protein powder is just "concentrated milk", not a recovery potion.

If you really need protein powder to help build muscles or supplement protein, you'd better drink it at meal time, which is also the best time for the human body to absorb nutrients in a day. Or must eat in broad daylight, so that the body can quickly digest and absorb the protein in the protein powder. Otherwise, protein is not cheap, a little expensive and inefficient.

There is no need to raise protein powder too much, and there is no need to think that protein powder is an accidental income tax. This product is a protein food specially developed for people in need. But I also admire those who can insist on drinking protein powder every day, which is also quite powerful. Because protein powder tastes bad, even if it is made into chocolate or vanilla, it is not delicious.
