Nutrition & Lifestyle

Good nutrition is an essential component in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It is rapidly becoming a priority for a positive impact on health and general wellbeing.

Consumers are facing an increase in diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, joint disease and cancer, often due to a lack of knowledge about diet.

Through the years, with a lack of knowledge on diets and general complacency, easily accessible processed foods have become the norm, causing poor eating habits. Many people aren’t even aware that their current lifestyle could be detrimental to their health!

Why do we need Protein?

Protein is an important component of every cell in the body. Hair and nails are mostly made of protein. Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues. You also use protein to make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals. Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.

Along with fat and carbohydrates, protein is a "macronutrient," meaning that the body needs relatively large amounts of it.

Vitamins and minerals, which are needed in only small quantities, are called "micronutrients".

But unlike fat and carbohydrates, the body does not store protein, and therefore has no reservoir to draw on when it needs a new supply. That’s why we need protein every day.

Research has shown that many of us are lacking enough protein in our diets and balancing the right amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats are very important factors in supporting a healthy diet.

Why ANS Whey Protein?

We now know that having enough protein in our diet is very important in supporting a healthy body.

There are many sources of protein found in foods ranging from eggs, meat, fish, soy and vegetables. Each of these protein sources is composed of a different range and amount of amino acids. Amino acids are not only vital for many body functions, they are the building blocks of protein and are essential to muscle growth and recovery and cell reproduction and repair. They also work as an antioxidant to boost the body's immune system.

ANS whey protein is the best source of amino acids available. It has a complete amino acid profile and no other protein source contains this. ANS whey protein delivers in the highest levels. It is absorbed faster than any other protein source and is easily digested making it ideal for drinking first thing in the morning when the body needs nutrients and after exercise.

Scientific studies have shown that regular supplementation with whey protein promotes a strong immune system and can increase memory power in stressful situations.

ANS whey protein can also be used very effectively in weight loss. Whey protein takes more energy for the body to process than carbohydrates and fats. This means more calories are needed to process it, and more calories are burned. This leads to a faster metabolism and faster weight loss.

What is Whey Protein?

Whey protein is a by-product of cow’s milk. It’s the liquid left when milk solids are made into cheese. Until recently, this watery liquid was considered waste - and discarded, but it has been discovered to be unusually high in essential amino acids and other minerals that are highly effective in building muscle and contributing to all round good health. It is a natural ingredient in both mother’s milk and baby formula, and it is used as a fortifier in many grain products because of its health benefits and agreeably bland taste.

- Suitable for both genders

- Can be taken before or after a workout for immediate protein infusion

- Can be taken at any other stage of the day / night as a snack / drink for a sustained, consistent release of protein
- One to two serves (scoop) per day can assist in the daily needs of protein and help recovery from physical workload or exercise.

ANS Whey Protein offers many, many health benefits. It supplies quick nutrition to muscle and blood. It helps the body repair itself. Along with carbohydrates, ANS protein also provides energy, protecting against fatigued. It assists with bone health and helps protect against illness and disease as well as helping the immune system function properly.

Who Benefits From ANS Whey Protein?

As we have already stated, whey protein has many health benefits, and these benefits are particularly useful in maintaining sports health and weight management. It is also the recommended choice for people on restricted diets – like diabetics. And patients suffering illness, or people with wounds or burns can assist the healing process by including ANS Protein in their diet. This is because the amino acids in whey protein are the key building blocks in the physiology of the human body.

Why Do Elite Athletes Use ANS Whey Protein?

Training and exercise depletes protein levels in the body. Muscle requires amino acids to prevent deterioration as well as build endurance and sustain muscle mass. ANS Protein is an easy and highly effective way of supplying these amino acids. But, you don’t have to be an elite athlete to get the benefits. Everyone needs protein, and ANS Protein is a completely natural way of supplying it.
