Healthy protein package/we need

The Healthy                                                                                                              ProteinPackage

Making healthy protein choices is more about the fats that accompany the proteins and the preparation methods, than it is about the actual protein.

This means looking for protein sources  that are lower in saturation fats, higher in healthier unsaturated  fats and prepared in healthy ways. These are commonly referred to as LEAN PROTEINS.

Non-Vegetarian protein sources tend to contain most of the Essential Amino Acid needs to build new protein in our bodies. They are thus also called COMPLETE PROTEINS. However, protein from such sources as vegetables, fruits and grains tend to lack one or more essential amino acids and are thus called INCOMPLETE PROTEINS.

Of course , fish and chicken may not always be healthy. Fish sticks or fried chicken are not good protein choices because the cooking methods add  unhealthy fats and extra calories.

Therefore, deciding the healthy PROTEIN PACKAGE is about balancing the body’s need for both ‘complete’ and ‘ lean’ proteins.

Given the constraints of food choices and tastes, getting the correct protein package (low on saturated fats, high on all essential amino acids) often means supplementing our daily diet with a healthy protein supplement.

Protein gives you higher satiety

People who eat more protein tend to be satisfied with less food . A research carried out by “Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, University College London”

Has established that high protein intake in human induces of anorectic hormone “peptide YY”OR “PYY” which in turn leads to satiety.
