Evaluating Natural Protein Supplements

One important lesson I've learned in my career as a certified fitness trainer is the importance of finding natural solutions. While there are chemical based compounds that can aid with building muscle or providing vitamins, there are potential complications, stomach problems and digestive issues related to chemical based compounds. I recommend my clients avoid these and instead find natural supplements to provide important nutrients and protein as part of their regular diets.

How to Prevent and Treat Cold Sore Outbreaks Using the Amino Acid Lysine

The most painful and annoying sores to get around and in your mouth are cold sores. One of the best ways to prevent and treat cold sore outbreaks would be with an essential amino acid called lysine. Lysine is an amino acid your body needs to help absorb calcium so you can have strong bones, healthy teeth, hair, and skin, as well as proper collagen formation. Lysine also helps control the amount of another amino acid in your body called arginine which is an amino acid in your body that replicated the herpes simplex viruses which cause more cold sore outbreaks.

More Protein Shake Recipes for Gastric Bypass Patients

After my gastric bypass surgery last year, I had to start drinking protein shakes in order to get enough protein. Gastric bypass patients need at least 60 - 80 grams of protein every day, and it can be hard to get that much from food since you can't eat that much at one time anymore. If you've ever tried a protein shake, you know what I mean when I say they don't always taste that good. However, with a little creativity, you can make all kinds of tasty treats that are so good you wouldn't even guess they were good for you. Here are a few of my favorites.

Mental Science: How the Amino Acid Glutamine Causes Psychiatric Symptoms

There is a report that the amino acid glutamine caused psychiatric symptoms, including depression, temporarily in patients. This was reported in a recent American psychiatric textbook. Pauling discussed a similar situation with the amino acid phenylalanine in the disease PKU.

In certain types of avitaminosis there are mental symptoms. One example is a deficiency of niacin, which is required in glycolysis. Glycolysis is critical to brain energy metabolism. This subject was reviewed by Dr. Abram Hoffer.

How to Choose the Best Protein Drink After a Gastric Bypass

After a gastric bypass, patients are usually advised to take in about 60 - 80 grams of protein per day. This can be a challenge in the beginning because they can only eat very small amount of food at a time. As time goes on, people can eat larger amounts of food and they may be able to get all of their protein from food. But in the beginning, most people rely on protein drinks to get enough. This is especially true in the first week or two after surgery, when most patients are on a liquid diet.
