All about Whey Protein!
By: Sonya Delaney
If you wish to shed pounds or build
bulk, you'd most likely need to buy whey protein shakes for meal
replacement! All protein may not be made equal when it comes to their
weight loss benefits. Whey, or milk protein may offer individuals who
need to slim down significant edge over soy protein, a study shows.
Whey
protein can be collected from the casein in milk or produced as a
by-product of cheddar making. How is whey protein powder formed? At the
point when milk is left over and coagulates, the resulting 5% liquid
residue consists of lactose in water, stacked with minerals. This
remaining by-product, called whey, makes up 20% of the protein in the
mixture, while the other 80% is called casein.
The fluid whey is
divided from the casein and sent through channels to filter all
non-whey substances. It is then refined in a procedure called "ion
exchange". The last step is the removal of water from the whey, and
transforming it into a whey protein powder, at a drying tower. The whey
protein powder is then prepared to be bundled and consumed.
Whey
protein is viewed as a complete protein. It holds each of the 9
fundamental amino acids, and is low in lactose content. It is a mixture
of beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, bovine serum egg whites, and
immunoglobins.
There are three essential sorts of whey protein-
whey protein concentrate (WPC), whey protein isolate (WPI), and whey
protein hydrolysate. Whey protein concentrate holds low levels of fat
and low levels of sugars (lactose). The amount of protein in WPC hinges
on upon how concentrated it is. Lower end concentrates have a tendency
to have 30% protein and higher end concentrates, up to 90%.
Whey
protein isolates are further processed to remove all the fat and
lactose. WPI is usually no less than 90% protein. Meanwhile, whey
protein hydrolysate is said to be the "predigested" manifestation of
whey protein as it is further processed using fractional hydrolysis –
which is vital for the body to ingest protein.
Whey protein
supplementation when combined with sports, can help enhance muscle
protein combination and promote the development of lean tissue mass.
Additionally, much better increases in quality are connected with whey
isolate supplementation rather than casein.
There are numerous
benefits connected with the consumption of whey protein, and scientists
are continually discovering new properties. Consistent with one study,
distributed in Nutrition and Metabolism Magazine, individuals who took
a specific whey protein mix (high in leucine, bioactive peptides and
milk calcium) lost more body fat and demonstrated a much better
protection of lean muscle in contrast with subjects who took the control
beverage.
Interestingly, for individuals looking to reach
ambitious targets of weight loss and lean muscle building at home, even
specialists suggest picking a whey protein shake that is low in calories
and fat.
In this video, we follow Ty and the TTAC crew during their Journey
Through ASIA as they talk to cancer experts in Japan about the best
weapons against cancer. You can watch the entire episode here: https://youtu.be/KZ-SimOqC3k.
First, Dr. Osamu Mizukami talks about the importance of a healthy diet.
The Japanese people have traditionally consumed a very healthy diet, but
are beginning to adopt more of the American diet. This means more
sugar, more carbs, and more processed fats. As a result, Japan has seen
an increase in obesity, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
Next, Dr. Mizukami talks about vitamin C, a vital nutrient that many
people are missing due to poor diet. High-dose vitamin C injections have
been shown to be an effective weapon against cancer. But many doctors
who use this therapy are labeled as “quacks”. But there could be a
reason for that.
Those who claim vitamin C therapy is ineffective often point to a single
study. Dr. Mizukami is an epidemiologist – and very familiar with the
process for medical studies. He says that it’s too easy for data to be
changed and manipulated, and that the study simply can’t be trusted.
Finally, learn about selective toxicity, and how the right substances
can target cancerous cells without damaging healthy tissue. Did you know
that propolis made from bees is selectively toxic to cancer cells? Even
viruses can display selective toxicity.
Make sure you watch the whole video to discover the amazing power of
Rigvir, an amazing anti-cancer medicine that uses a live virus that
specifically targets cancer. You’ll hear how the dream of finding cancer
treatments that don’t carry harsh side effects could be just around the
corner.

In the summer of 2018, we traveled through Japan, Taiwan, Philippines,
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and India. Asia is the birthplace of
natural medicine with records as old as the 3rd century BCE showing the
use of specific natural remedies. Remarkably, we still use some of them
today! Over 60 experts, medical doctors, herbalists, and cancer
survivors tell us what they did, how they did it, and what their results
were in “Eastern Medicine: Journey Through ASIA.”
We stand in unified prayer for the victims, law enforcement, employees, and all affected by this horrendous act of violence. May God's peace find and fill you through the blood of Jesus. There is a devil loose in this world and I vow to fight it on all fronts. This needless to say is why we promote programs like TacFit Survival and Tactical Workouts. There are no guarantees in preparedness, but if law abiding men, women, and children are better tactical athletes, the chances of more surviving any future attack are greatly increased. -Coach Nate
Police say several people have been killed and numerous injuries in shopping mall shooting.
Staying Safe
By: Sophie O'gorman
1. THINK AHEAD Take a few minutes before you go out to think through and plan your journey, particularly if it's not a regular route.
It may sound obvious but try and avoid poorly lit or very quiet areas if possible - even if it is the quickest route.
Check public transport journey times and look for alternative options
should your plans change or a bus/train is cancelled - have a
contingency.
2. CARRY A MOBILE PHONE This can be a lifeline when
stranded but when you need it most you can guarantee you'll have
forgotten to top up your credit or the battery will be flat! If nothing
else, make sure you have change for a call box. Some phones have an SOS
message facility - check yours. 3. LET SOMEONE KNOW Keep in
touch with a member of your family or a friend, particularly of you're
feeling nervous or a little vulnerable on a new route. Phone or text
just before you start your journey and let them know what time you
should be arriving.
4. CARRY PERSONAL SECURITY ALARM This could
give you the opportunity to stop any attacker in his tracks. Attaching
the ila Dusk to the outside of your bag also provides you with the
additional feature of using a woman's scream.
So many of us are
literally 'struck dumb' with fear when confronted by an attacker - the
ila Dusk gives you back a voice and valuable seconds to escape. Sad to
say these days there aren't many knights in shining armour about to come
to your rescue unless you're really lucky, but using the few seconds to
put as much distance between you, could stop you from becoming a
victim.
5. WALK WITH CONFIDENCE Following all these tips will
give you confidence and there's no doubt that striding out, head up,
oozing confidence is one of the best ways of putting off a potential
attacker. He won't want to raise his risk of being caught, so if he
thinks you're going to cause him trouble he's likely to be put off. When
you arrive at your front door have your key ready to go straight in.
Try to wear flat shoes (or have spares with you) and walk with traffic
coming towards you so a car can't creep up and surprise you from behind.
6. DON'T FLASH YOUR CASH OR VALUABLES
If you stop at a cash machine or shop on the way, try to conduct
transactions as discretely as possible. Carrying your bag with the clasp
facing inwards is a good idea, but keep your keys and phone separately
in your pocket if possible.
7. TAKE OFF THOSE HEADPHONES It's
sooo tempting to lose yourself in your favourite music when walking home
or to work, but being aware of your surroundings and the other people
around you will sharpen your senses and provide an early warning system
of any potential trouble. 8. ALWAYS USE LICENSED CABS When your
feet are sore, you're tired, fed up and desperate to get home it's oh so
tempting to get into a car when the driver says 'Want a cab, love?'
Please don't - licensed cab drivers are only allowed to ply for hire in a
regulated cab rank. Would you willingly get into a stranger's car under
normal circumstances? Well that's exactly what this is. Book a
cab through a known cab company and make sure the driver tells you the
name it was booked in - before you get in. Programme a couple of
reputable cab numbers into your phone before you go out.
9. IF YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING FOLLOWED
I know - our worst nightmare. But it needn't be if you keep your wits
about you and act fast. First try crossing a road or turning back on
yourself. If they continue to follow, assume your suspicions are right
and get help. Try pretty much anywhere there are people - pub, bar,
cafe, shop, service station etc or knock on the nearest door where the
lights are on. If the worst happens and you think an attack is imminent
set off your ila Dusk alarm and run as fast as your can towards an area
where you know there will be people. Leave your shoes behind and even
your handbag if that's what he's after - you are far more valuable than
property.
10. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS Well all develop instincts or
intuition for danger as we gain more experience of life. But it's easy,
particularly under influence of alcohol or peer pressure to ignore what
they're telling you. Trust them and you'll invariably stay one step
ahead of the criminal.
