Protein
Protein is the building block of all muscle, connective tissue, hair
and many other components in your body. The body tends to handle protein
well by recycling amino acids (the individual building blocks to a
protein), but some does need to be eaten every day. Athletes need
more than non-exercising people because they use some for fuel, may
be increasing their muscle mass, and need to repair muscle and tissue
damage i.e. adaptation. Growing athletes need even more to enable
them to develop to their full potential. Most athletes on an unrestricted
diet don't have any problems meeting their protein needs in the course
of their normal eating. Those who need to work harder include people
who restrict their food intake and vegetarians - who need to replace
meat protein with alternative sources. It would be rare for an athlete
to need a heavily protein-based meal or snack as opposed to one based
mainly on carbohydrates.
Foods rich in protein include meats, poultry, seafood, dairy products,
eggs, nuts, seeds and legumes. Cereal-based foods also contain small
amounts of protein. High5 Protein Recovery contains 1/3 Whey protein
and 2/3 carbohydrate. Whey protein is quickly absorbed by the body
and has a high bioavailability. High5 Protein Pure contains pure Whey
protein without carbohydrate. |
