How
can Herbal Vitality help me?
If you tried to get all
the protein you need from foods such as meats, you would consume too
many calories, because these protein rich foods come with extra fat calories.
Protein-enriched meal
replacement shakes, Protein Supplement Powder and High Protein Low Carbohydrate
snack products, contain protein sources which are easily absorbed and assimilated,
and which allow you to reach your body's protein requirements without those
unwanted calories.
Easy and convenient
to follow the programme, so will fit into a busy lifestyle. For example,
easy to take a shake for breakfast (in milk or juice or yoghurt) to help
balance blood sugar levels, rather than skip breakfast altogether. Its fast
food for smart people!
How
do I include protein in my daily diet?
If your target is 100g
of protein per day, here's an example of how you can consume 100g every day
| Breakfast |
Formula 1

Powder(10g )= 28.9g |

|

And for those concerned
about Cholesterol levels? The inclusion of at least 25g Soya protein per
day as part a diet low in saturated fats can help reduce blood cholesterol.
Two shakes provide 17.8 g of soya protein(71% of the suggested intake
of 25 g). An additional 7.2 grams may be obtained from other foods, such as
soy plus a serving of Soy nuts(10.6 g soya protein per 90g serving or
Protein supplement powder (4.5g soya protein/6g serving) can provide over
25g of soya protein.
Protein comes in the form
of meat, soy products, cheese and dairy products. However, most of these are
in the form of animal proteins, which add greatly to the bad cholesterol in
our bodies. Therefore we need to look for high quality proteins, in our diet,
from non-animal sources.
