Body Building For Vegetarians

Posted on Sunday, February 19, 2012 in Uncategorized



The Search For The Complete Protein Source

Helping to inform consumers that protein is a vital macronutrient in strength training success are pictures of accomplished body builders on labels of protein powder containers. Yet what is usually lost in this protein-bodybuilding link is that protein is a vital part for everybody, no matter the amount of physical activity. Even those that live sedentary lives must ensure that their protein intake is complete and balanced. Protein is a key part in any diet and this is an undeniable fact. Protein creates digestive enzymes, transports other vitamins and nutrients, builds and repairs body tissue, and helps keep harmful bacteria at bay [i]. These are bodily system functions that all individuals need – not just bodybuilders and other athletes. Eating the appropriate composition of protein in meals is, however, proving to be an unusually difficult challenge for a lot of Americans. To start with, many protein sources are not considered “complete” because they do not provide all the required amino acids necessary in order to build newer proteins. These incomplete proteins are often derived from fruit, grain, vegetable, and nut sources [ii]. However, meats and dairy products that are alternate options to those incomplete proteins, also have their own dietary limitations and challenges. The first challenge with respect to these meat-based sources of complete protein is that they are not an option for vegetarians. There are roughly 6 million adult vegetarians in th US, even though the precise number is quite tough to pinpoint accurately, and that number is growing yearly. Therefore, 6 million adult Americans can't access complete protein by way of meat sources. The second problem is that many meat and dairy-based meals in the US are excessively high in saturated fat, calories, sodium, and other unhealthy elements. While those that frequent fast food restaurants for their source of complete protein might not suffer from protein deficiency, a disconcerting number of. The so-called “social irresponsibility” of the fast food business [iv] leads to adverse consequences such as obesity, clogged arteries, high blood pressure, and others. The clear challenge for nutritional specialists is to identify a protein source that's both healthy and complete. When you do not find a appropriate protein source, the results might vary from: underperforming digestive systems, chemical imbalances, to the harmful effects of a medical condition referred to as “Kwashiorkor”. Kwashiorkor is a condition when the protein-deficient body cannibalizes itself in a panic move to find protein sources, and it's usually found in Third World countries though there have also been a number of reported cases in the US. Several attempts have been made to find the ideal complete protein source: one that is wholesome, accessible to all eaters, and convenient. Indeed, of particular importance is the final criterion of convenience because it has become apparent that 21st century Americans have very limited time to eat as compared to before. Some of the attempts to find the ideal complete source of protein date back to at least a few generations. The classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich has been adopted as a complete protein source by some, but rejected by many more. While peanut butter does provide an excellent source of protein, the sodium content of most grocery store peanut butter brands, and the high carbohydrate and fat ranges of the typical “PB&J on white” keep it from being an excellent alternative [v]. Other proposed options are more recent inventions. This consists of a wide selection of nutritional powders and “energy” bars which could be found in most health food shops, in addition to in an increasing number of grocery stores. With respect to protein powders, while some of them do provide a decent source of protein, it's simply not a convenient source for most people. With respect to energy bars, lots of them have been criticized for their high calorie and carbohydrate levels. One resolution that is getting some serious acclaim from the health community are liquid nutritional supplements which can be portable and provides a complete source of protein that's appropriate for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike [1]. At the same time, these products are specifically designed to be low-calorie (and therefore diet-friendly), and supply extra nutrients and nutritional vitamins that the body needs in addition to complete protein. These innovative, complete protein products are a constructive sign in a nutritional sector that has struggled with misinformation. Regrettably, many so-called energy bars and protein powders are laden with calories and carbohydrates. Some of them – energy bars in particular – don’t even have enough protein, which is a really obvious omission considering the category that they're in, and most consumers don’t even understand this as they ingest these products. The good thing is that, as stated earlier, there are scientifically engineered products in the marketplace that provide complete protein and nutrition that consumers deserve after they buy something labeled as “nutritional supplement.” [1] These products use “Actinase®” protein, which is derived from isolated animal sources that do not contain the lactose and fat normally associated with animal-based proteins.
