Food Facts or Claims

                             Did You Know??????

Get to know what you are eating and understand how your body utilizes different types of carbs, fats, and amino acids or protein. Start to read up on what different types of food supplements, hormone enhancers, and metabolic stimulants do with the body and how they help or hinder the results you want.

 

Different preservatives and high levels of sodium may greatly keep you from reaching your weight-loss goals or definition and muscle tone. Every person is different by genetics, age, and activity levels. It is possible to have an allergy to certain foods that can give you skin problems and headaches and can cause weight retention. By learning what your body does with different foods and what your body needs to be healthy and fueled with energy you will get the most out of every day. Once you learn to read your body you can adapt your eating habits throughout your lifetime in accordance to your physical activity and age-related chemical changes.

Digestive Enzymes

In addition to helping your body absorb protein, enzymes such as bromelain, papain, pancreatin and trypsin assist in controlling joint pain and inflammatory-related diseases. Many protein makers are adding the digestible enzyme Aminogen — a research-proven formula that has been shown to break down protein quickly in the digestive tract. This allows you to digest protein faster, which means faster delivery to your muscles. Take protein products with added enzymes before and after training.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Essential fats such as the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) encourage the body to use other dietary and stored fats as energy, helping preserve muscle mass during intense training. Flaxseed powder is an excellent source of another omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid. While product labels may not list the exact amount of omega-3s, you can calculate it by subtracting saturated fat from the total fat. There should be at least 3–4 grams of fat remaining, and the omega-3 fatty acids will represent a decent portion of those.

Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs)

These saturated triglycerides are metabolized differently than other dietary fats: Instead of being stored in fat cells, they’re used by muscle tissue for fuel during workouts. Protein powders with added MCTs are a great supplement for low-carb dieters, since they offer a non-carb energy source that encourages further fat loss and promotes muscle growth. If a protein product lists MCTs on its label, it should contain a minimum of 2–3 grams of saturated fat per serving.
