When you hear of protein and muscle growth, it's often accompanied by images of huge men with bulging muscles, lifting huge dumbbells at the gym and drinking weird protein shakes afterwards. Not many think of protein as an important component of women's health, when in reality, protein is crucial for every aspect of a woman's life!
Here are some of the reasons women need protein:
- Women have a higher body fat percentage than men, so replacing carbs with protein helps fat loss
- More protein increases metabolism and better calorie burn
- Protein keeps you fuller for longer and prevents over-eating
- Protein is essential for proper absorption of calcium and thus, for stronger bones
- Sufficient protein consumption is essential to ensure thick, healthy hair
Pretty sure you're now convinced that you absolutely need protein in your diet! However, the fact remains that many women are short on protein, which is why a supplement like our Protein Delight Powder can help. But you needn't have it as it is; try it in a yummy recipe like an apple protein milkshake!
