Organic Protein Powder For Health And Vitality

By Iva Cannon


People need good, digestible protein in sufficient amounts every day. This nutrient is important for proper development, growth, and tissue repair and replacement. It also makes people feel less hungry and maintain energy throughout the day. Since it's not all that easy to get an adequate and high-quality supply of proteins, using an organic protein powder supplement is a good idea.

Adults need at least 40 grams of good proteins a day to maintain health and well-being. Getting this amount is hard for some. Perhaps they don't really like meat, one of the best sources of the nutrient. They may be allergic to dairy, another class of foods rich in amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.

Research, especially in the natural foods industry, has shown that people do better on some proteins than on others, which is another complication for those who seek to maintain or improve health. Vegetarians and vegans, who have more trouble finding good sources of proteins, may find that they don't have the time or the patience to structure an adequate eating plan. Many ailments, such as fibromyalgia and debilitating lack of energy, are made more serious by a lack of proteins.

Another problem that can complicate things is food sensitivities and allergies. If a person has an allergy to milk, they will either do without it or fail to digest it. Their bodies regard the milk as a toxin rather than a food. The Blood Type Diet is a book and a protocol that tells us which foods a person with a particular blood type will be sensitive to, or in other words be unlikely to process well. Allergies are more severe reactions to foods.

Those who have a busy lifestyle may be doing themselves harm without realizing it. Grabbing fast food or skipping meals entirely is a good way to compromise health and cause weight gain. It makes it harder than ever to get balanced nutrition and the proper amounts of nutrients.

The health food industry has brought us proteins in powder form, often combined with vitamins, minerals, and enzymes to enhance digestion and utilization. The formulas may contain the food itself, like whey, in a usable form, but often they provide more concentrated nutrition. By isolating proteins found in food (separating them from accompanying carbohydrates or fats), the manufacturer can offer a protein-dense powder that delivers a high gram count, from 10 to 25 per serving. Mix the powder with water or juice and get the nutritional equivalent of a full meal in one drink.

There are proteins for everyone. Those without food restrictions can use soy, whey, pea, nut, or algae-based formulas. Men may choose to avoid soy, a potent phytoestrogen. Whey is derived from milk but can be suitable for those who may have a lactose intolerance, since it does not contain this substance. For those with a true milk allergy, vegetable proteins may be best. Pea protein is good for those with allergies and for vegetarians and vegans. There are many good sources of proteins, and the industry is bringing out new products all the time.

Organic certification is important. Numerous crops that are used by people or fed to animals are being grown with high applications of chemicals in the form of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. The health risks of genetic engineering are unknown at present. Organic products will not have this chemical load to pass on to consumers and will not contain GMOs, either. Choosing to buy organically produced foods and products is a way to get pure, clean food for better health.
