General Health Hurray for WheyFrom Going All The Whey by Lauren Lapointe-Shaw, Office for Science and Society, Department of Chemistry McGill University 2003
Ms. Lapointe-Shaw writes that “If everyone ate whey, doctors would be bankrupt,” or so goes an ‘old Italian saying.’
Ms. Lapointe-Shaw writes that “muscles are made up of proteins which are polymers of amino acids. When you exercise, you burn energy that was stored in your body. If you want to burn fat and not muscle, it is important that you maintain your muscles by supplementing your diet with protein, in order for your body to get the building blocks (the amino acids) it needs. “.....
“ When whey is undentured, that is , when the protein has not been heated to the point of changing its original 3-D molecular conformation, it is the best source of protein for your muscles possible.......resistance training will make your muscles larger, whey will ...ensure that your body has what it needs to make the necessary expansion.”
Okay so maybe you already know all that, but here are some whey benefits that may surprise you.
By the Whey
“Besides being an excellent source of protein, whey offers other interesting benefits. Of late it has been celebrated as an antioxidant, an immune-builder and even a mood-stimulator.” Ms Lapointe-Shaw goes on to scientifically explain that our immune responses ultimately depend on the presence of cysteine, an amino acid that “abounds in whey protein.” She says that whey protein has had a “measurable effect” on people who are HIV positive, who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) not to mention athletes who experience “immunosuppression as a result of intense physical exertion.” So far whey protein is the “only practical vehicle for cysteine” since pure cysteine is toxic at the required levels.
Here’s more:
“There is some preliminary evidence showing that certain whey formulas may reduce the incidence of cancerous tumors and slow their growth.”
“Whey also has antioxidant properties”.... that inhibit free radicals. “Free radicals wreck havoc on the body”.... and “are thought to lead to cancer, heart disease and neurodegeneration associated with aging.”
“Finally, whey contains tryptophan, a synthetic precursor for serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for good mood and relaxation..... people consuming whey report feeling happier, but perhaps this is only a product of their satisfaction in doing something healthy and positive for themselves.
So, buy the whey, and let All the Whey give you that boost.
