Are you ready to unlock the mysteries of protein and its pivotal role in our dietary intake? Strap in as we guide you through the complex world of essential amino acids, and the significant part they play in our bodies. We discuss the importance of achieving a balance in your protein consumption, focusing on the dietary reference intakes, and the potential risks of under-consuming protein. Discover why 25 grams of protein per meal can be beneficial for you, and the distinctions between plant and animal-based protein sources.
Unravel the potential of different essential amino acids and the exceptional benefits of branch chain amino acids found in dairy and egg products. Did you know they are crucial for muscle sparing? We explore this and more, including the importance of sulfur-containing amino acids, typically found in animal proteins, for detoxification and various physiological processes. Discover the vital collateral nutrients, like B12, Vitamin D, DHA, heme-iron, and zinc, found in animal food sources that are easily absorbed and more bioavailable in our systems.
Dive deeper into the world of IGF-1 and its significant role in brain health. We examine its importance for neurogenesis, cognitive preservation, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory processes. Learn about the potential risks and benefits of controlling IGF-1 levels, including an increased risk of breast and prostate cancer, and its balancing act with insulin resistance. We also delve into the unique role branched chain amino acids play in stem cell development and brain health. Lastly, find out how strength training and exercise can influence IGF-1 binding proteins, and why this could be a game-changer for managing IGF-1. Join us in this enlightening conversation as we enhance your understanding of protein intake and sources.
