Hey there, awesome viewers!
Welcome back to the Bestie channel.
Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, or both, you will need to eat more protein.
In today’s video, we are going to talk about high-protein drinks and their awesome impact
on your body.
Drinking protein every day will transform your body.
But what is this transformation actually like?
Is there more to it?
Does it regulate your blood pressure?
Strengthen your tissues?
Give you stronger bones?
We’re talking all that AND more...
1.
Strengthened tissues and stronger bones It is interesting to note that we need protein
not just to flaunt our muscular arms, but to maintain strong bones and tissues.
If you want to age gracefully, you should go for protein-heavy drinks.
Include more protein-rich food items in your diet.
Better still, stir up a protein shake and gulp it down before going to bed.
The amino acids present will balance the muscle protein.
So do you need to go all the way extra for protein?
Well if your daily protein requirements are met by your diet, that’s a GREAT thing!
You just need to monitor your macro and micronutrients.
But if you’re an athlete, it’s a different game altogether…
No pun intended.
Any form of protein in the form of powder, drinks, shakes, or animal protein does wonders
to the bone mass and density.
Protein drinks get digested quickly and offer your body nutrients sooner than what you get
through solid food.
Do you workout daily?
How do you take care of your muscles?

Boosted muscle growth and recovery We just talked about the importance of protein
for your bones and tissues.
Do you know what else would happen if you drink high-protein drinks daily?
Muscle growth!
And reduced recovery time after a heavy workout!
If you want a great body, proteins are a must.
Want to look like a bodybuilder?
Well aside from daily workouts, your protein intake is essential!
Want a ripped, lean body?
Yes, you heard me right.
You need protein for that too.
One of the most common workout myths is that taking protein automatically makes you bulky.
That is not true.
Protein provides your muscles with strength.
This increases your metabolism.
The end result is a fit body with no more flabbiness.
A study has found that if you eat protein before bedtime, it’s better absorbed by
your body.
Especially if you’re exercising at night.
This enhances the protein synthesis in muscles, and helps repair the muscle tissue after heavy
exercise.
In short, your muscles heal as you doze off.
A protein drink at night can also regenerate bones that lose density with aging.
Nighttime protein consumption is often related to increased mass muscle.
3.
Improved recovery rate from accidents I hope you guys never get seriously injured.
But if you do, increase the amount of protein you eat right away.
It heals your injuries much faster.
A small cut or a bruise can heal fast, but if you’ve had a major accident, you will
have to up your protein to speed up the healing process.
Why so?
Because protein helps maintain the strength of your healthy tissues and muscles while
repairing the damaged ones.
In fact, when you undergo surgery, wound care clinicians strongly advise you to eat more
protein.
If you are drinking high-protein drinks daily, you will see how fast your body heals and
your muscles grow.
A protein-enriched diet can also help in healing broken bones by accelerating the healing process.
It is also related to post-exercise recovery, especially when protein supplements are being
consumed at night.
Due to this fast healing effect, high-protein drinks are recommended to athletes and gym
enthusiasts doing heavy workouts.
After rigorous ones, your body gets tired and the muscles sore up.
When you drink a protein shake in this vulnerable state, the protein gets digested and absorbed
easily.
In short, protein synthesis happens quickly in your body.
Your muscles and tissues heal faster.
This is why it is recommended you have protein powders to neutralize the effects hard exercise
has on your tissues.

Yes!
Weight loss Who says you have to go hungry to lose weight?
A protein drink before going to bed boosts metabolism and stimulates muscle growth.
And with enhanced metabolism, you burn extra calories.
And we all know what that means!
Reduced fat accumulation in your body.
Just exercise a bit of caution here.
You have to carefully monitor the amount of protein you take.
If you drink more than what is required, you will end up with the opposite effect.
You WILL gain weight if you eat excessive protein.
If you want, go for protein shakes as meal replacements when trying to slim down.
But remember to replace just one or two meals per day.
Not all of them!
You can replace your night time meal with a protein drink to reduce hunger.
If you did eat a meal and are still hungry, go for a protein shake.
This way, you can stop overeating before going to bed.
Nighttime cravings are the worst!
5.
Your body thrives on pure amino nutrition There’s a reason you see so many whey protein
powders on the market.
It’s one of the most high-quality proteins you can give your body.
Whey is the liquid that separates from milk during cheese production.
It has all the amino acids your body needs to thrive.
What makes whey protein the absolute best is that it is very easy to digest and gets
absorbed in the gut.
Due to its high protein value and digestibility, whey protein drinks are very popular among
bodybuilders, athletes, and those who want additional protein in their diets.
If you are drinking it daily, you will see how your body flourishes and thrives.
Your body cannot make all of these essential amino acids on its own.
And if you don’t give your body the acids it needs, you will experience extreme fatigue
after a workout.
What’s worse is that your body will break muscles to release energy.
That’s the last thing you want!
Before we move ahead, here is a video you might like.
Just like protein, your body needs collagen.

body.

Your blood pressure will be more regulated Protein, especially whey protein drinks, stabilize
your blood pressure.
If you are drinking protein shakes every day, you have very low chances of your blood pressure
shooting up.
This means you also reduce the risk of getting dangerous illnesses triggered by high blood
pressure.
In short, you have fewer chances of heart disease.
7.
Improvements In Type-2 Diabetes Whey protein is often recommended to people
suffering from Type 2 diabetes, as it increases the levels of insulin in your body and your
sensitivity to it.
This reduces the harmful effects of high blood sugar.
Research has found that when people with type 2 diabetes had whey protein before breakfast,
they experienced reduced blood glucose levels.
People with diabetes can opt for whey protein over the animal kind.
Whey protein can easily be a replacement for diabetes drugs like sulfonylurea.
It is recommended to take a whey protein supplement right after a high-carb meal.
This way, you moderate blood sugar in both healthy people and people suffering from Type-2
diabetes.

Reduced inflammation and less aches and pains Inflammation means something in your body
is going wrong, and it is trying to deal with said problem.
Inflammation is your body’s way to heal a wound.
Short term inflammation is fine.
It’s the long term inflammation you need to worry about.
Long term inflammation often turns into a chronic syndrome.
But thankfully, you have protein drinks to help you out of this mess.
High-protein drinks give you a generous amount of this healing nutrient that reduce inflammation
in your body.
In a study, it has been found that a high dose of whey proteins can effectively reduce
a particular type of protein.
This protein is a key reactor of inflammation in the body.
9.
Improved antioxidant defenses and reduced cholesterol
Protein protects you in two ways.
First, it boosts your immunity through faster healing and reduced inflammation.
Next, it improves your antioxidant defenses.
This means no more premature aging!
So how does it do that?
It’s Simple.
Protein, especially whey protein, has several amino acids that boost the formation of important
antioxidants.
These antioxidants fight off the bad elements produced during the oxidation process in your
body.
So you get to have energy, thanks to oxidation.
But the bad byproducts are fought off by antioxidants!
Whey protein especially has one particular type of amino acid that human bodies often
lack or have in shortage.
And luckily the same amino acid boosts antioxidants in your body.
But wait, there’s more!
Whey protein is good for reducing cholesterol as well.
Especially the LDL cholesterol that poses a huge risk for heart diseases.
A study was conducted on 70 overweight men and women over the course of 3 months.
They were given whey protein daily.
Their sugar and fat levels were measured frequently.
In the end, the group showed a significant decrease in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.
Do you drink a lot of protein?
