Milk Proteins Contribute To Growth In Children


Milk has nutrients that promote growth in children, including whey protein, casein protein, calcium, and phosphorus. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark found that whey and casein stimulated growth by diverse mechanisms. Whey protein increased blood insulin, which is an significant hormone for moving amino acids into cells and stimulating protein synthesis. Casein increases insulin-like growth factor , which is a potent growth-promoting hormone that affects tissues all over the body. The study examined the effects of modified milk products that were high in whey or casein and had high or low quantities of milk minerals. Whey and casein in milk increase growth-promoting hormones, while milk minerals have no effect on anabolic hormones.

Avoid White Sugar and Fructose

White refined sugar is the primary cause of degenerative disease in our contemporary society. Sugar taken every day in processed foods produces a constantly over-acidic condition in your body, requiring more and more vitamins and minerals from deep in your body attempting to correct the equilibrium. After years of having this continual, over-acidic condition, as well as vitamin/ mineral depletion, it is highly improbable that some form of degenerative disease will not present itself.

During this process, the liver becomes rather enlarged, and excess glucose is returned to the blood in the form of fatty acids , which are stored in the dormant muscular areas of the body. This is everywhere that people gain weight (stomach, buttocks, breasts, thighs, etc). When t...

Cortisol and Carbohydrates Consumption

One of the main hormones that control important processes in human body is cortisol . This is quite catabolic agent as some of its amino acids may come from muscle tissue. It is crucial that one consumes carbohydrates before exercise for several reasons: Dietary carbohydrates will assure persons with fuel for the anaerobic pathway, and spare muscle tissue from being converted to glucose for fuel. Dietary carbohydrates will cause the discharge of insulin, which blocks the release of cortisol from the pancreas. Dietary carbohydrates will increase muscle glycogen levels which will a dvance performance and reduce fatigue. Persons should consume 35% of their total daily carbohydrates in a meal 1.5 to 2 hours before their workout as this will allow the carbohydrates sufficient time to be digested and enter the bloodstream. It is also suggested consuming a shake composed of 30-40g of whey protein along with dextrose or maltodextrin during the workout. The carbohydrate...
