The Advantages Of Protein Water

By Iva Cannon


You must have heard of the numerous benefits of staying hydrated, and most importantly, the amount of water you need to take every single day to ensure that your body is properly hydrated. It is not easy to drink the right quantity, considering that it is tasteless and at times the weather condition ensures that you don't get thirsty. What you might not know is that there is an effective more benefiting alternative. Instead of just pure and tasteless water, why not try the protein water.

To many, they are known as the protein shakes and are available in different brands as products of different manufacturers. Whey protein is dissolved in purified water to produce a flavored drink. Depending on the whey content (5-30 grams), the concentration varies. They are available in flavors such as strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. While it is possible and easy to just buy whey and make your own drink, walking into the shop to buy your favorite brand seems to be the best alternative.

The first major advantage is the protein content. It offers the best method to ingest the protein without having to ingest additional calories like the case with any meat product. The drink has no fat content and only little carbohydrates may be used to boost the flavor. The high whey content makes it particularly favorable for the vegetarians, dieters, and the body builders.

Addition to reducing in calorie intake, it is also said to play an important role in satiety (the feeling of being full). With the ingestion of whey and other similar products, you tend to feel full much faster and retain this feeling for much longer. As a result, your food consumption per day tends to reduce.

The shake also offers a very effective way to deal with the hunger pangs and is thus a very good solution to help avoid snacks. Studies have proved that a meal full of proteins helps one feel full faster and thus helps one eat less by the end of the day. The satiety or feeling fullness helps with appetite control which in turn help minimize unhealthy snacking. By being able to prevent overheating, it is easier to control weight, and thus reduce chances of obesity or overweight and the resulting ailments.

It also increases brain cognition. The diet rich in protein such as whey products are said to increase the levels of tyrosine acid that is responsible for boosting the brain functionality by promoting mental performance. After the drink, you feel highly energetic and improve the level of alertness.

It is also associated with improved cognitive capabilities of the brain. It triggers an increase in tyrosine acid, which in turn promotes mental performance by boosting the brain functionality. You tend to feel more energetic and alert as the result of this.

It is important that you get 25% of your total energy from the protein content. This is for the reason that they tend to be digested slowly and are thus converted to energy much slower. This means that you can get your energy on a continuous basis for longer periods.

There are several other advantages such as an important role in building lean muscles, improve the taste of water by flavoring it and making it easier to drink. It is also easily available, cheap, and can be easily made at home.
