Quest for desired physique 💪


Metabolism: It is one of the most familiar word you have come across in health and fitness industry. The hormones of human body is responsible for the metabolism. If metabolism is slow, the person get fat very easily and if it’s very fast the person could be skinny even after taking the right amount of calories.


Testosterone: One of the common term used in health and fitness world. It is male sex hormones also responsible for building muscles. There are certain food and supplements available that can boost the testosterone level in natural way, that would be recommend after 30yrs of age.

 

Fuel for fitness 

In terms of nutrients , food is divided into two components, macro nutrients and micro nutrients. Macro nutrients are protein, carbs and fats.


Grow teen with Protein 

Protein is a macro nutrient that is essential to building muscle mass. It is commonly found in animal products such as meat, egg, milk ,paneer, though is also present in other sources, such as nuts and legumes. When it burns release toxins, so we can focus more on Alkalized food or can go for  liv52 or milk thistle if we are taking more Protein.

The quality of protein depend on it's amino acid profile. There are 22 types of amino acid, classified into Essential and Non essential amino acids. 


Carbohydrates- carbohydrates provides energy to the body but when not utilized properly by avoiding workout and physical activity or if we consume in excess amount, it started converting into sugar. Carbs are of 2 types, simple and complex carbs. I prefer a complex cabs and go for sweet potato, it is a complex carbs and also called a power house of Energy.

 

Fats- The fat in the body is a fuel source, when body is not getting any carbs, it try to meet the requirement through fat, that is stored in the body. There are majorly 3 types of fats, saturated, un-saturated and trans-fat. 


Water- Last but not the least , drink ample amount of water not only help you to prevent from dehydration but also help you to remove toxins.


Speed up muscle growth - The food we eat has a powerful impact on our heath. Eating food that are more alkaline can be health promoting. Stomach need to be acidic to digest food, but it should not be too acidic, blood should always be alkalized. Alkaline food balanced the ph level, Avoid hydrogenated food.  Ph - potential hydrogen. Blood reading must be b/w 7.3 to 7.5, also add  pro-biotic to your food.


Healthy food is vital for muscle growth and it cannot be replace by supplements but immediately after workout the first thing i would suggest is good protein powder in water as per your requirement to get the desired result.

It cannot be replaced by any of protein riched food. Such us Milk, Chicken, Red Meat, Soya etc. The reason is very simple none of the protein rich food have as low glycemic index as a good brand protein like ON, isopure etc have.


The protein supplement with low glycemic index help to absorb the protein in your body at much faster rate than any other food. After workout muscle starts starving for protein for immediate muscle repairing. The protein rich foods can repair the damaged cells and help in the muscle building but due to high glycemic index the process will be slow.


How to find Authentic supplements ?

Popular International brands like Optimum nutrition, Muscletech etc are very high in Demand offer lucrative market to fake supplement manufacturer. The people like Guru mann, who has a large number of followers in social media try to explain the difference between fake and genuine supplement, where they ask you to check spelling mistakes and ingredients percentage. There is hardly 1% possibility that you may find any. 

Though it is very challenging to differentiate between a genuine protein and a fake protein, still we can try by checking some  basic things like printing quality of the product, quality of the jar etc. The companies making fake products focus more on cost cutting to grain more profit. I will try to make a vlog where I can share some useful tips to find a product is genuine or not But for now easiest way is to purchase a product from below mentions options. 


It is important to go for good brand protein supplement that has high quality of protein but it's more important to find out it's note fake.


Healthy food is vital for muscle growth and it cannot be replace by supplements but post workout the first thing i would suggest is good protein powder in water as per your requirement to get the desired result.

Himalaya - The Himalaya Drug  is a well known Multinational Indian company. Seeing a tremendous demand of supplements in Indian market, has launched a Protein in 2018 by the name of Quista Pro. The taste is really bad also the mixibility is not good. The result I found was below my expectation. The product is Cheap also have some herbs like Ashwagandha still doesn’t make it value for money. Can order the product on website himalayawellness.in.
