PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS

• Proteins are one of the most essential components
  required by the human body to perform various
  functions. With giving the body energy to perform
  different activities, proteins also facilitate
  other major functions such as developing and
  repairing body tissues, creating hormones. The
  human body therefore requires a regular supply of
  proteins to function smoothly. This can be
  ensured by consuming food rich in these
  components which cannot be always possible given
  the time constraints that all of us face.

How much protein is enough?

• While people generally believe that an athlete
  needs more protein than others, this isnt always
  right. It depends on an individuals athletic
  performance, body weight, workout intensity,
  energy intake, age and dietary protein quality.
• As per the general rule of thumb, the amount of
  protein required is 1.2 to 1.4 g/kg of body
  weight for endurance athletes while it is 1.2 to
  1.7 g/kg of body weight for strength training and
  power athletes. With greater workout duration and
  intensity, more protein is required. Around 2
  g/kg of body weight helps in the prevention of
  muscle loss in athletes with reduced energy
  intake.
• It was also found that an increase in workouts by
  elderly people enhanced the response to protein
  intake, which suggests that increased physical
  activity may prevent and help recover the loss of
  muscle with aging.

  authenticity of this fact. The subjects

  groups. One group of subjects used high-protein
  meal diets as a replacement for high calorie food
  while the other group continued with the normal
  diet. At the end of the study individuals from
  the first group were found to lose weight and
