Protein is a vital nutrient in any healthy diet, but for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, it's especially important. Without adequate protein, our bodies can't put together the structures that make up every cell, tissue, and organ. It provides the amino acids that our muscles need to continually rebuild themselves. Without fuel to rebuild, you will be taking your training in the wrong direction and risking an injury to your muscles. *
Protein is the ultimate muscle food. * Without enough protein, your body can't produce energy or develop lean muscle mass in response to exercise. * Plus, a lack of protein may inhibit fat burning, making it harder to maintain healthy weight. * Protein is also key for post-workout recovery. Muscles wouldn't heal up as quickly without adequate protein which may lead to fatigue. *
After a workout is one of the best time to take a protein shake since your body starts to heal the muscle right after a workout. Upon consumption it takes about 30 minutes for the protein to reach your muscles to begin healing the "micro tears" in the muscle. It may also be beneficial to take a protein drink before you go to bed therefore providing your muscles with protein, since your body will be slowly depleted of protein as you sleep.
