Nachshon Draiman, Boost Energy & Control Hunger
Protein is found in all of your body's cells. It is the essential nutrient
that is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all of your organs,
tissues, muscles, brain and bones. This individual built in repair kit occurs
at the cellular level in our bodies. Protein regulates everything - our blood
circulation, our metabolism and our immune system. Individuals who lack
sufficient protein in their bodies have weaker immune systems than people who
consume adequate protein in their diets. Also, people who are constantly on
yo-yo diets where they lose and gain weight back frequently usually become
protein deficient and have weaker immune systems. This fact has been proven by
researchers who have found that these yo-yo dieters have about a third lower
the number of killer cell activity than normal individuals. The so-called
killer blood cells are essential for the immune system to function properly.
All foods are sources of energy; however, protein provides a greater
boost in energy levels since it is absorbed slowly and thus produces a
constant source of energy. Protein has real energy-staying power for your
active, healthy, lifestyle. Fats and carbohydrates produce quick bursts of
energy but cannot be relied upon to provide the body with a continuous source
of energy, since they are digested and metabolized more quickly than protein.
Fats and carbohydrates also tend to be stored as fat the body for later use.
The Protein that we're discussing is lean protein (lean meats, skinless
poultry, seafood, egg whites, low-fat dairy products, legumes and beans, soy
and tofu foods, skim and low- fat cheeses, and good-fat nuts). Lean proteins
are also excellent sources of selenium, which. Is a mineral that protects the
body against dangerous tree radicals that can destroy normal cells in the body.
These free radicals can damage many different types of cells including
connective tissue, which causes joint and muscle inflammation.
High-saturated fat protein products like fatty meats, hard cheeses, whole fat
milk dairy products, whole eggs, mayonnaise, luncheon and smoked meats
including bacon, sausage, and hot dogs are definitely not good sources of
energy production. The reason for this is, that even though these products have
some protein content, its value is offset by the saturated fat content of these
foods. The saturated fat content of these foods do more harm to the body (heart
disease, strokes, hypertension, high cholesterol and some forms of cancer) than
the protein portion of the food can repair. These are called harmful proteins
and are not recommended for any healthful weight-loss program.
For appetite control, lean protein tops the charts for staying power. By
adding a small portion of lean protein to your meal, you'll control hunger
pangs for hours. Lean protein also has the advantage of being lower in calories
than many foods, particularly saturated fat protein product refined
carbohydrates and saturated fat foods. Once you substitute saturated-fat
protein products, you defeat the appetite-controlling factor of the protein.
The fat content of saturated- fat protein foods prevents the brain's
appetite-control center from shutting down. In other words, you'll get hungry
soon after your meal of a saturated protein food.
Your body needs between 15-30 of your total daily calories, however, can be
dangerous, because it strains the kidneys. This is one of the reasons among
many why low-carbohydrate, high saturated fat protein diets are dangerous to
your health.
