Amino acids are typically categorized by their nutritional role as essential or nonessential. Essential amino acids are not produced in the body and therefore must be obtained from dietary sources. Nonessential amino acids can be either manufactured directly by the body or obtained by conversion from another amino acid. It is important to keep in mind that nonessential does not mean that these amino acids are not important. Rather LeSean McCoy Hat , it simply means that under ideal circumstances, there are routes other than the diet through which these amino acids can be obtained. Several of the nonessential amino acids are considered "conditionally essential," meaning that under certain conditions, such as injury, disease, increased stress Tremaine Edmunds Hat , or intense physical activity, the body's metabolic machinery is unable to generate adequate levels, and supplemental dietary sources are required.

A growing body of evidence suggests that specialized amino acid mixtures based on essential or semiessential amino acids can be especially beneficial for promoting postexercise recovery (Volek et al., 2002 2 g of carnitine for 3 weeks); increasing collagen deposition and wound healing (Williams et al., 2002 14 g of arginine, 3 g of HMB Josh Allen Hat , and 14 g of glutamine for 7-14 days); and stimulating muscle growth (Ras-mussen et al., 2000; Tipton et al., 2001 6 g of essential amino acids plus 35 g of sucrose). Considerable debate on this issue continues, however, because not all studies support a benefit of amino acid supplementation for enhancing muscle metabolism or exercise performance (Lambert et al., 1993 single 4.2-g dose of arginine Dawson Knox Hat , lysine, ornithine, and tyrosine; Vukovich et al., 1997 2.9 g of leucine, isoleucine, valine Devin Singletary Hat , glutamine, and carnitine for 7 days).

Whey Protein

Whey is one of two proteins found in milk (the other is casein). Whey protein accounts for only about 20% of the total protein found in milk, while casein makes up about 80% of milk protein. Long considered a useless byproduct of dairy (cheese) manufacturing, whey protein is enjoying an increased interest as a protein supplement. Because whey protein includes a variety of immunoglobulin compounds (a lactalbumin; K, lactoglobulin; lactoferrin; albumin; and immunoglobulins A, G Cody Ford Hat , and M), whey supplements are often touted as effective in boosting immune protection and enhancing post exercise recovery. It is important to note that commercial products vary widely in their content of immunoglobulins and other immune-active protein fractions, and much of the difference among products is related to different manufacturing processes.

Whey protein also contains approximate 20-30% of its amino acid content as BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine), which can be readily oxidized by the muscle as energy and may be associated with a delay in fatigue during long-duration exercise Ed Oliver Hat , especially in the heat.

In addition to its high content of immunoglobulins and BCAAs, whey protein is a rich source of cysteine, an important amino acid constituent of the cellular antioxidant glutathione. Intense exercise is known to reduce cellular glutathione levels; thus, high cysteine whey protein supplementation may be an effective approach to restoring glutathione levels in the body.

It is important to note that commercial whey proteins can differ dramatically depending on the processing method and the total protein content. For example, whey protein can exist as simple whey powder (30% or less total protein content), whey protein concentrate (30-85% protein content) or whey protein isolate (90% or higher protein content). In the case of whey protein isolates (the most expensive type) Taron Johnson Hoodie , two key processing methods ion exchange filtration and cross-flow microfiltration can remove different components of the total whey protein, resulting in end products with different tastes, textures, and functional properties. Whey proteins processed using the ion exchange methodology appear to retain most of the functional benefits associated with immune system maintenance. Enhanced resistance to infection and a 25-44% increase in glutathione levels (an antioxidant enzyme containing cysteine) have been noted in HIV-positive subjects consuming concentrated whey protein (Micke et al., 2001). Whey protein also contains lactoferrin, a protein that has been shown to possess bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity against microorganisms that can cause gastroenteric infections and food poisoning.

Whey protein has been used in a number of animal and human feeding studies that have shown its benefits in promoting weight gain Harrison Phillips Hoodie , elevating glutathione levels, and preventing metabolic acidosis (although this effect can be claimed for virtually any high-quality protein source). Whether or not the minor content differences between various whey proteins actually result in any appreciable differences in muscle gain or exercise performance in humans has never been convincingly demonstrated.
Targeted Weight Loss Health Articles | August 21, 2009
Most people that are aiming to follow a weight loss process try to focus their efforts into targeting specific parts of their bodies which they have started to dislike, such as the stomach, hips, legs and arms. There is also the idea that surrounds the whole exercise routines concept Jim Kelly Hoodie , this idea claims that there are actually some exercise routines which will help people in their quest for targeted weight loss, however one should really wonder whether these routines actually deliver what they promise, or if they are just more rubbish.


There is actually a very simple reasoning behind this claim, and the fact is that targeted weight loss does not work at all. The thing is that people want to believe that there are some miraculous exercise routines that they can perform in order to lose a few pounds from strategic areas. A very popular outcome.
