Natural Whey Proteins, Fitness Proteins and Supplements of ProteinsI take a protein drink every day which has 40 grams of protein. How many cups of whey water" (the water separated from the curds in milk) would I have to drink to balance 40 grams of protein?
Whey proteins are derived from milk.
Milk contains around 87% water and 13% solids. From 13% of milk solids; lactose or carbohydrates forms 37%, total fats form 30%, total proteins form 27% and minerals or ashes form 6%. Out of 27% proteins 80% is casein and remain 20% is whey protein.
This proves that milk contains only about 1% whey protein. So to equal 40 g of proteins with whey proteins you will need to drink many liters of milk or whey water in a day which is not possible. If you are interested in replacing your proteins with whey proteins then concentrated whey protein powder (whey protein isolate) is often a good idea.
Whey protein is a high quality, pure and natural form of protein derived from cow’s milk.
It is an excellent source of essential amino acids which are required by the body on a daily basis. Whey proteins can be easily digested and absorbed by the body. Whey protein isolate or the purest form of whey protein contains almost negligible amount of cholesterol, fat and lactose. Whey proteins can be consumed by any person. They offer many health and nutritional benefits such as a strong immune system, weight management, sport nutrition, bone health and general health. However it would be wise to consult a health care specialist to derive your daily protein needs and requirement of whey proteins.
Before starting or buying any supplements of whey proteins learn the difference between whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate. Whey protein isolate is a concentrated and pure form of whey protein and contains almost 90% of protein and negligible amount of fat, cholesterol and lactose. Whey protein concentrates on the other hand have proteins anywhere between 29-89% depending on the product you choose. Also where the protein level is low, generally the amount of fat and lactose level in whey protein concentrates increases.
Proteins are needed by the body to repair body cells, synthesize hormones and enzymes, provide energy, build and repair muscles and bones, and vital to other body metabolism processes. Protein requirement of a person shall vary according to the intake of calories, height weight, body frame activity level and overall health. Some group of people like athletes and people with special medical needs (for example, burns patients) may need more proteins. Whey protein isolate may also help you to lose weight in a healthy manner when taken along with a balanced low-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Remember these dietary and lifestyle tips are for a healthy man. If you are suffering from any heart diseases, diabetes, back problem or any other illness then consult a specialist before changing your diet or modifying your lifestyle.
