  Protein powder is the heavyweight of the health and fitness industry. The entire protein supplements market is expected to be worth at least $21 billion by the year 2025. This makes it an extremely lucrative industry and points to the popularity of these types of products. But why are people consuming protein powder daily? It?s not just as a way to get a better workout. It?s also to ensure that people can lead active, healthy lives. Let?s look at the main health benefits of consuming protein powder.

Managing Weight

Weight is a major concern for many people. But protein powder could help people to regulate their weight by improving satiety. Protein naturally makes you feel fuller, which is why high-protein diets have been so popular in the past. The evidence shows that practicing a high-protein diet supplemented with fresh fruits, vegetables, and grains can lead to longterm weight loss. And protein powder can play a big role in this.

Increase Muscle Mass

The main health reason for taking protein powder daily is increasing muscle mass. This is one of its main functions. Studies show that you will experience benefits up to 1.6 grams of protein per kilo of body weight. After that, there are no further benefits. However, older people need more protein and so they should take more protein powder or opt for thickened shakes.

Improve Muscle Recovery

Anyone who wants to workout will find that they need to aid muscle recovery. No matter where you are when it comes to health and fitness you need to speed up muscle recovery. The evidence shows that protein powder is one way to improve muscle recovery. This is because it synthesizes the growth of muscle proteins.

Meet Nutritional Requirements

Did you know that the average male requires 56 grams of protein per day? These are big numbers and most men don?t reach them. This number also rises if they workout. When governments prepare dietary recommendations, they?re aimed at the average sedentary person, rather than athletes. It can be even more difficult for vegetarians and vegans to consume the necessary amount of protein every day. So, protein powder is a way to stay healthy by meeting your body?s needs. Athletes require this additional protein boost even more. Plus, it?s much cheaper than increasing your intake of meat.

Reduce Blood Pressure

The number one risk factor for heart disease is high blood pressure. Everyone knows that high blood pressure is a major problem across the entire country. There has long been links between lowered blood pressure and dairy products because of the role of ACE-inhibitors. That same link has been studied when it comes to whey protein powder. Current research on animals and humans have indicated that taking protein powder daily could reduce blood pressure by 4%. Despite the low number of studies, it?s highly likely that the link between lowered blood pressure and dairy products is also present.

Last Word ? Purchasing the Right Protein Powder

To get the benefits of protein powders, you need to ensure that you purchase the right brand. Many low-quality brands have been known to include dangerous chemicals in their blends, such as lead and cadmium. You should inspect the components of each protein powder carefully to ensure that you?re only putting genuine quality protein into your body. Do your research and make sure you shop around before deciding on a brand. It?s a decision that could completely change your life, so you can?t afford to get it wrong. How often do you consume protein powder?
