tpapi:Adding weight involves a number of factors and not only about food, medications or supplements alone. People born to fat parents have more chances to be fat than those born to slim parents, thus genetic factor plays a role. Also motherhood confers some ability to add weight for some women. At the moment there is no specific drug or supplement for weight adding. The popular one called xasten that is supposedly to make people add weight has a lot of side effects. |

heavenet: Kudos to the Pharm in the House, However will like to add a bit of advice Go see a Doctor for thorough evaluation and diagnosis of the cause of the Fever. Completing TB medication doesn't translate to complete cure in EVERY case of treated primary TB infection. There are cases of Tb relapse, Re-infection e.t.c. Your Fever might not be even related to the initial Tuberculosis |

Kenchosen:C24/7 is a herbal supplement for detoxification which is one of the processes of weight loss pogram. However it wont help you achieve weight loss alone. Omega-3 helps reduce bad cholesterolin the body thereby reducing the risk of hypertension. If the manufacturer of Choleduz Omega-3 is credible, then it can be used by hypertensive people and pregnant women. Hope that answered your question? |

I read this article not long ago and found it useful. I decided to share it with the thread. I hope you find it useful too. Do You Need Protein Powders? If you go to a gym, you’ve probably heard the guys by the weight machines talking about the protein shakes they drink after a workout and what kind of shake they prefer. Protein powders -- made into a shake or consumed however you like -- are getting more and more popular as a nutritional supplement. You can buy protein powders in every nutrition store and all over the Internet. You can even find pre-mixed, ready-to-drink protein shakes in many stores. But are protein powders just for bodybuilders, or can the average everyday athlete benefit from them as well? What Are Protein Powders? Protein powders come in various forms. The three common ones are whey, soy, and casein protein. “Whey is the most commonly used, because it’s a water-soluble milk protein,” says Peter Horvath, PhD, associate professor in the department of exercise and nutrition sciences at the State University of New York at Buffalo. “It’s also a complete protein, so it’s got all those advantages.” (Complete proteins contain all nine of the amino acids necessary for human dietary needs.) People who are vegan may prefer soy protein, although Horvath notes that its taste is sometimes considered to be more unpleasant, and it doesn’t dissolve as well in water. Protein powders also come with widely varying price tags. “For the casual athlete who doesn’t have a specific need at a certain time of their training, the cost is not that important,” says Horvath. “So if you’re going to use them, you can get pretty much the same benefit out of the less expensive, more commercially available proteins. In very specific circumstances, protein powders can be useful. “They’re an easy and convenient source of complete, high-quality protein,” says Carole Conn, PhD, associate professor of nutrition at the University of New Mexico. But remember: Most people, even athletes, can also get everything they offer by eating sources of lean protein like meat, fish, chicken, and dairy products. So when might you want to use them? There are a few reasons why an ordinary athlete might want more protein in his or her diet, says Barbara Lewin, a dietitian and sports nutritionist who has worked with NFL, NBA, and NHL athletes and trained Ironman competitors: When you’re growing. A teenager needs more protein to fuel his workouts because his body is still growing and uses more protein in general. When you’re starting a program. If working out is new to you and you’re trying to build muscle, you’ll require more protein than you normally would. When you’re amping up your workouts. If you normally work out for half an hour a few times a week, but now you’ve decide to train for a half-marathon, your body will need more protein. When you’re recovering from an injury. Athletes with sports injuries frequently need more protein to help them heal. If you’re going vegan. People who pursue a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle eliminate a number of common protein sources from their diet, including meat, chicken, and fish, and sometimes dairy and eggs as well. What Are Protein Powders? continued... “All of those are valid reasons for trying to get more protein into your diet, and protein powders are one way to do that,” says Lewin. But there’s a big caveat, Lewin adds: it doesn’t take that much protein to achieve those goals. Most Americans already get about 15% of their daily calories in protein. To build a pound of muscle, Lewin explains, the body needs between 10 and 14 additional grams of protein per day. “That’s not really that much. Some of these powders have 80 grams of protein per serving. You don’t need that. All your body is going to do is break it down for energy. And too much protein can be hard on your kidneys and your liver.” Protein Math So how can you tell if you’re already getting enough protein? Do the math. Recreational athletes need 0.5-0.75 grams of protein daily for every per pound of body weight Competitive athletes need 0.6-0.9 grams per pound Teenage athletes need 0.8-0.9 grams per pound Athletes building muscle mass need 0.7-0.9 grams per pound The maximum amount of protein that most adults can use per day is 0.9 grams per pound of body weight. So if you’re an adult athlete who wants to build muscle mass, and you weigh about 175 pounds, the most protein you would need per day is 157.5 grams. That sounds like a lot, but one 4-ounce hamburger contains 30 grams of protein, 6 ounces of tuna has 40 grams, and a single ounce of cheddar cheese has 7 grams. How to Use Protein Powders If you calculate your protein intake and determine that you’re notgetting enough for your athletic needs (some signs of too-low protein intake: you’re unusually fatigued, feel weak when lifting weights or doing other strenuous activity, or are recovering from injuries slowly) how can you best use protein powders to help you improve your performance? First, ignore the conventional wisdom, which says to take protein powders immediately after a workout. “Before, during, and after a workout, carbs are what your body needs. They’re what your body uses for fuel, and what your muscles run on,” says Lewin. “Yes, protein is also important for recovery after a workout, but research shows that at that point, the body needs fuel with a 4-1 or 5-1 ratio of carbs to protein.” Since most protein powders have at least 20 grams of protein per scoop, you’d need about 80 grams of carbs to go with that scoop to get the proper proportion of nutrients! How to Use Protein Powders continued... For a better “recovery drink” after a workout, Lewin recommends a fruit smoothie with yogurt or milk, or, surprisingly, chocolate milk. “A glass of chocolate milk is one of the best things for recovery,” she says. So when should you use protein powders, if you’ve determined you need them to get more protein in your diet? Throughout the day as a snack or meal replacement, says Lewin, but not in the immediate time period surrounding your workouts. And don’t forget, says Conn: “Protein powders are not really necessary if you have access to a normal, healthy diet.” SOURCES: Peter Horvath, PhD, associate professor, department of exercise and nutrition sciences, State University of New York, Buffalo, N.Y.

[b]Whey Protein [/b]Whey is a product of cheese making -- it’s the watery part of milk that separates from the curds. Some people use whey as a source of protein or as a supplement for health conditions. Why do people take whey protein? Protein powders are popular with athletes, particularly those doing strength training. They provide a good source of nutrients and amino acids. Some people take whey protein because they are lactose intolerant or allergic to other protein sources, like eggs or soy. Several studies have found that whey protein, when combined with strength training, might increase strength, muscle size, and lean body mass. A few studies of whey protein as a treatment have been promising. It's been found to help prevent excessive weight loss in people with HIV. Early evidence suggests that whey protein might also help prevent milk allergies in formula-fed infants. When compared to cow’s milk protein, whey may help prevent the development of atopic dermatitis or eczema in young children. More research is needed. Talk to your child's health care provider before giving your baby whey protein. Whey protein has also been studied as a way to slow down metastatic cancer. More research needs to be done. How much whey protein should you take? Optimal doses of whey protein have not been established for any condition. Quality and active ingredients in supplements may vary widely from maker to maker. This makes it very hard to establish a standard dose. Can you get whey protein naturally from foods? Whey protein is found in milk in small amounts. In the process of turning milk into cheese, whey protein is removed. What are the risks of taking whey protein? Given the lack of evidence about its long-term safety, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take whey protein unless a doctor recommends it. Side effects. Most people tolerate whey protein well. High doses can cause nausea, increased bowel movements, thirst, cramps, bloating, and headache. Risks. People with milk allergy or sensitivity should not use whey protein. It could cause an allergic reaction. If you have kidney disease, check with a doctor before using any type of protein powder. Interactions. If you take any medicines or supplements regularly, talk to your health care provider before you start using whey protein. It could interact with antibiotics and certain medicines such as Fosamax for osteoporosis or levodopa for Parkinson's disease. 1 Like 1 Share |
