Protein powder for weight loss

The use of protein powder involves a lot of soy protein, mainly to supplement protein for people who lack it. There are many types of protein powder on the market, which is mainly obtained through a combination of animal and plant proteins, providing the essential amino acids needed by the human body. At the same time, protein is very important for the human body, and many people believe that protein powder has weight loss effects. The main function of protein powder is to ensure the normal physiological needs of the human body, as well as providing some energy.

Protein powder is mainly used to provide sufficient protein and high value to the human body, and it is mainly soy protein, which has good storage and transportation hygiene, while also maintaining the significant functional characteristics of protein. Below, we will introduce the effects of protein powder.

1. Effectively ensure the normal physiological needs of the human body

Protein is the main source of nitrogen in the human body. It not only provides part of the energy consumed but also can be used to synthesize new tissues. In adults, protein accounts for about 17% of body weight, and 3% of protein participates in metabolic renewal every day. Infants, adolescents, pregnant women, and lactating women, in addition to maintaining the renewal of tissue protein, also need to synthesize new tissues. When protein is insufficient in the body, the basic life activities of humans will be affected, leading to growth retardation, low weight, and developmental disorders in children and adolescents; adults may experience fatigue, weight loss, anemia, decreased plasma albumin, and even edema; and can cause menstrual disorders in women. Eating Bai'ai soy protein powder can effectively prevent or improve these symptoms.

2. Prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Western developed countries. High plasma cholesterol levels are the main cause of heart disease. Animal fats in the diet can increase plasma cholesterol levels, which are important factors in causing atherosclerosis and triggering heart disease. Saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, and excessive blood cholesterol are directly related to heart disease. Reducing plasma cholesterol also reduces the risk of heart disease. In 1982, scientists from multiple countries conducted a comparative experiment using soy protein to replace animal protein in patients with high cholesterol in Italy and Switzerland. The results showed that consuming 50 grams of soy protein per day reduced the total plasma cholesterol level by 20%. This study proves that soy protein can reduce the adverse effects of blood lipids and cholesterol on the heart in patients with high cholesterol.

In the United States, doctors recommend that patients with heart disease consume soy protein before taking cholesterol-lowering drugs. Because soy protein is not a drug (without side effects), it is cheap, and can effectively prevent heart disease without any side effects.

3. Replace animal protein to alleviate the kidney burden of diabetic patients

Kidney disease is a common long-term complication of diabetes, with more than 20% of diabetic patients suffering from kidney damage. The intake of animal protein will increase the kidney burden, leading to the aggravation of the disease. Soy protein can prevent and alleviate the damage to the kidneys caused by animal protein by reducing the plasma cholesterol content. Observations of dietary treatment for kidney disease patients have shown that replacing animal protein with soy protein is the most effective, and kidney disease patients are also willing to accept food containing soy protein.

This is a summary of the main functions of protein powder. The main function of protein powder is to ensure the normal nutritional needs of the human body and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It can reduce the adverse effects on cholesterol patients and, at the same time, replace animal protein to alleviate the kidney burden on diabetic patients. However, it is necessary to take an appropriate amount of protein powder when taking it, and not to rely on protein powder for a long time to maintain the vitality of the body, as this will reduce the function of the gastrointestinal tract and also reduce the body's resistance.
