PROTEIN IS ESSENTIAL
A protein is a nutritional substance made up of several amino acids, scientifically called a “large bio-molecule” or “macro-molecule”.
There are hundreds of different amino acids in nature, but only about 20 are talked about. Of these 20, nine of them
are considered essential, (like vitamins). This means your body can’t make them, so you MUST consume them every single
day or your body will age faster.
PROTEIN IS MUSCLES
Protein is needed to build strong muscles. Proteins are the second largest component of your body’s muscles and cells, right
after water.
PROTEIN IS YOUTH & SLOWER AGING
Proteins such as Collagen and Elastin are critical components of connective tissue, and having more Collagen and Elastin
makes you look younger, feel younger, stronger, and more flexible. Keratin (another protein) is necessary for
building strong, thick hair and strong nails. So protein keeps you looking good and feeling good.
WHY DO YOU NEED PROTEIN EVERY DAY?
A metabolic process called “Protein Turnover” means that once protein is eaten and assimilated into your body, it can only
exist for a short period of time. On average only ONE DAY. So, you need to keep ingesting protein every day, because
your body needs it to build and repair muscle, and keep you looking and feeling young.
DON'T I GET ENOUGH PROTEIN FROM FOOD?
Yes...and no. The average American’s food program, even a healthy one, provides enough nutrition and protein to stay alive.
But, to meet the demands of a physically and/or emotionally challenging life, even a good food program doesn’t hold
up. This is why Nutrition was Step #1 in my clinic and is still Step #1 in my Pharmacy, Herbal Catalog and at my website.
Because NUTRITION is what gives every cell in your body the fuel it needs to stay healthy.
And, if you want to build a strong body that gets stronger and helps you meet or even exceed the demands you put on
it, then a healthy reserve of nutrition and protein is essential!
WHAT’S WRONG WITH WHEY AND CASEIN PROTEIN?
WHEY is a waste by-product of cheese manufacturing. It is the thin liquid that
drains off the cheese. I call it “Liquid Meat”. It is dried and then concentrated because it is less than 1% protein.
CASEIN is also a by-product of cheese manufacturing, and is mainly used in making glue, paint and plastic. It is made
using genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), and after you eat it, it forms a clot in your stomach, which slows its
absorption.
WHAT ABOUT SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE?
Soybeans have been a food source for thousands of years. But today, 94%
of soy grown in the USA is genetically-modified. Soy Protein ISOLATE is so far removed from the soybean that Wellness
Today calls it, “soy’s heavily processed stepchild” and says you should avoid eating it all together. It is so highly
processed and refined most health authorities consider it toxic. Just Google “problems with Soy Protein Isolate” and
within 5 minutes of reading about the chemicals involved, the GMOs, and the aluminum tanks, you’ll probably throw your
old Protein Powder in the trash.
