Quality Whey Protein and Its Amazing Health Benefits

Dr. Mercola is first and foremost an osteopathic physician, also known as a DO. DOs are licensed physicians who, like MDs, can prescribe medication and perform surgery in all 50 states. DOs and MDs have similar training and licensing requirements, beginning with four years of study in the basic and clinical sciences, followed by the successful completion of licensing exams.

But DOs bring something special to the practice of medicine. Osteopathic physicians approach medicine holistically, treating the entire person rather than a collection of symptoms. DOs help patients develop attitudes and lifestyles that don’t just fight illness, but help to prevent it as well. Dr. Mercola is also board-certified in family medicine and served as the chairman of the family medicine department at St. Alexius Medical Center for five years. He is trained in both traditional and natural medicine.

Dr. Mercola is a huge perponent of whey protein for optimum nutrition. He speaks about the many benefits of whey protein. “Whey protein, which is available as a protein powder supplement, has been linked to a variety of health benefits, such as:

a.)  Helping your pancreas-produced insulin work more effectively, which helps maintain your blood sugar level after a meal
b.) Promoting healthy insulin secretion 
c.)  Helping to promote your optimal intake of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals needed for your overall wellness 
d.)  Supporting your immune system, as it contains immunoglobulins 
e.)  Helping you preserve lean body tissue (particularly during exercise) as it delivers bioavailable amino acids and cysteine
f.) Maintaining blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range

He goes on to say, a whey-protein-rich ingredient may improve blood vessel function in healthy individuals, reports a new randomized, double-blind study. Two weeks of supplementation resulted in a 1.5 percent improvement in blood flow. According to the researchers, the whey protein-derived ingredient may work via an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activity. ACE inhibitors work by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to the potent vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II, thereby improving blood flow and blood pressure.

Whey protein:

* May support your body in burning fat*
* May support increased energy*
* Highest quality of amino acids
* Exclusive source of whey and casein protein
* Supports digestive health*
* Low lactose
* Zero trans fats
* No artificial flavors
* Gluten-Free
* Wheat-Free

The whey protein in the Isagenix health natural products, the IsaLean shakes and the Isa Pro are non – denatured organic whey protein and the amino acids and digestive enzymes are still alive (they are untreated and have not been processed). Amino acids are immune builders. Lglutomine is in the Isalean shakes and this is a perfect amino acid. Protein boosts the immune system and is essential for muscular repair. Protein is a macro-nutrient. Pre-workout meals should be about 300 calories and this meal should have protein and fat in it. IsaLean Shakes are perfect because they have the perfect blend of protein and fat and it is good fat (Omega 3,6 & 9) as opposed to bad fat (fast foods). They boost the immune system 300%.

Isa-Pro is great for extra protein for athletes. It has no carbohydrates in them. Two scoops of the Isa-Lean shake and 1 scoop of Isa-Pro is the perfect amount of protein for an active athlete. The body can only absorb 32 gm. of protein at a time. The rest ferments and becomes toxic. (Susan Sly)

The protein used in Isagenix health natural products is an organic source of whey protein from cattle in New Zealand…..it has the perfect amino acid profile and most of the lactose has been removed from it. Whey protein, a by-product of milk and cheese, was promoted for its health benefits as early as 420 B.C. At that time, Hippocrates, also known as “the Father of Medicine,” recommended whey to his patients. These days, evidence continues to mount in favor of whey, often referred to as the gold standard of protein.

I choose an Isagenix whey protein shake at least once a day and often twice. I can feel the health benefits of this health natural product in my body and would never be without it.
