Proteína from Whey is shown to estimulante protein synthesis
Dr. Marcia Perretto Medina
The consume of whey protein, a product derived from milk, estimulates protein synthesis an important tool for those looking for muscle hypertrophic, but more important yet for aging adults. The natural aging process to a decrease in muscle mass known s sarcopenia, causing a decrease in quality of life and even premature death.
The way protein estimulates the synthesis of protein and helps to preserve the Muscular cells. A study done by Maastricht University in the Neterlands, found an increase in the synthesis of muscular protein in male adults that consumed 35 grams of whey protein when compared to a control group taking smaller doses. They concluded that daily consumption of at least 35 grams of Whey protein assists in the prevention of muscle mass loss caused by aging.

Do you want ore definition to your. Abdominal muscles? Follow these simple steps
Dont go hungry: longs periods of time without having any food or eating less than required (less than 1,500 calories for several months or years), may lead to your body to metabolize muscle tissue instead fat, because muscle tissue is the most availabe form of energy in the body after what you have ingested has been digested.
Eliminate trans fats from your diet: besides causing significant health issues, trans fats cause the accumulation of fat in the abdominal area. Avoid fried foods, baked goods, and refined flour products. It’s important to remember that the consume of products containing trans fats increases the risk of cardiovascular disease due to an increase in LDL (bad cholesterol), and a decrease in HDL (good cholesterol).
Avoid refined products: refined products like flour, pastas and sugars in among others cause what is called insulin resistance, and the accumulation of fat in the abdominal area, what can cause Metabolic Syndrome. When the body becomes resistant to insulin, it is unable to to use the insuline in an effective way. The insulin is necessary to to control the amount of sugars (glucose) available in the blood stream.
Do not skip your snacks: several recent studies confirm that those who eat several small meals during the day, present less body fat than those who don’t eat for longer than 4 hours. But stop there, to eat a candy bar or a donut does not qualify as a snack! A healthier choice will be vegetables, nuts and fruits.
Avoid alcoholic beverages: the excessive consume of alcoholic beverages (one 6-8 ounces glass for women and two form men) daily. Also, avoid compulsive drinking, even of done infrequently (more than 4 glasses in one event), this contribute to the accumulation of fat in the abdomen and increases the risk for cardiovascular disease.
Say good bye to MSG: if you love Chinese food and instant soups pay attention – Monosodium Glutamate or MSG, contributes to the increase in the abdominal circumference, and also decreases memory as well as the learning ability.
