Plant-based proteins are more than just a trend. The rising demand for these types of products is a reflection, among other things, of an increasingly health-conscious consumer.

While soy may be the king of plant-based proteins, it certainly isn’t the only option in the market. Here are a few popular soy alternatives:

Pea Protein
Pea protein supplies adequate amounts of 8 of the 9 essential amino acids that a healthy body requires. Like other proteins, it is also very effective for helping you feel satiated, thus helping to curb cravings. Pea protein is easily digested and has a lower allergy risk than common protein sources, such as soy and dairy

Quinoa Protein
Quinoa has a higher protein content than other grains such as corn or barley. Is a highly nutritious and richer in protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals than other grains. Plus, it’s gluten-free!

Organic Flax Seed
Traditionally used to relieve abdominal discomfort, flax seed has hidden superpowers: it’s high in alpha linolenic acids (one of the heart-friendly omega 3 fatty acids) and rich in protein, fiber and minerals like phosphorus, which works with calcium to build bone strength.

These plant proteins do not contain dairy or lactose, making them a viable option for people with some of the most common allergies.

The post Increase Your Intake Of Plant Protein With Herbalife’s Protein Drink Mix first appeared on Herbal VItality.]]> Proteins are fundamental structural and functional elements within every cell in the body and they’re involved in a wide range a metabolic interactions. All cells and tissues contain protein and it’s a key nutrient in our diet and it provides amino acids which are building blocks that we can’t make ourselves, so they’re needed for growth development and repair the body. The body however does not store protein and it can’t be produced internally so it’s important that we consume protein every day. Proteins are an important building block for bones, muscles, skin, hair and nails.  Protein is the second most abundant compound in the body after water.

Why Plant Protein?

Some protein sources do contain a higher amount of calories than others; it’s worth knowing which ones to choose. Protein that comes from animal products such as meat, dairy and eggs provide all eight essential amino acids that the body needs, but they come with a higher-calorie, fat and cholesterol count than other sources. Eating these food-groups in moderation is great, but there is also the option of plant based protein to choose from that are just as beneficial.

Plant proteins are:

1. Low in saturated fat – High levels of saturated fat in the blood raise cholesterol and contribute to clogged arteries.

2. Alkaline-forming. – Feeding the body with acidic animal proteins strip the bones of minerals as the body finds internal sources to maintain an alkaline ph. The typical North American and European diet is acid-forming (meat, bread etc…) which is not helpful in maintain your body’s naturally alkaline pH.

3. Easy to digest – Plant-based foods are easy for your body to digest. They contain fibre, which is crucial to proper digestion. Less time spent on digestion means more energy to use throughout your day.
