PROTEIN DIET - replacing animal- with vegetable protein

While protein is a vital nutrient, too much of a good thing- a high protein diet - may not be so good for you. Protein consists of 22 amino acids which creates muscles and blood, not to mention that it helps replace and form new tissue, transports oxygen and nutrients in our blood and cells and regulates the balance of water and acids. Many people put their health at risk by eating too much animal protein which can result in heart disease, osteoporosis and kidney stones.

As important as protein is for our body, there are many misconceptions about how much we really need in our diet, and the best way to obtain it. The amount and type of protein in your diet also has an important impact on calcium absorption and excretion. Vegetable-protein diets enhance calcium retention in the body and result in less excretion of calcium in the urine. This reduces the risk of osteoporosis and kidney problems.

Plant-based proteins, like that found in soy, prevents the build up of arterial plaque which leads to atherosclerosis and heart disease and reduces the chances of a stroke. By replacing animal protein with vegetable protein you can actually avoid the pitfalls of the typical high-protein diet and you will be able to improve your health and regulate your weight.

Whey protein, also found in Herbalife's Personalised Protein Powder is a pure, all-natural, high-quality product that benefits athletes and dieters, boosts the immune system, helps bone strength and improves overall wellness. Nutrition experts recommend a diet with a variety of protein foods but for optimal results make sure that one of them is whey protein.

By establishing new eating habits, Herbalife ensures that on their protein diet you will experience no hunger pangs while losing weight, and by eating right your metabolism becomes balanced and is able to process the foods and burn the fat quickly and easily.
