Choosing the right ingredients to start your day
There are many protein supplements on the market, which differ from each other, as well as many food products that are a great source of protein - as we know, it is a building block and shapes muscles for further development. Not only in terms of energy , breakfast is almost the most important meal of the day - after waking up, we struggle with catabolism, or rather its effects, resulting from the so-called overnight fast . During sleep, the body, including muscles, regenerate most intensively - of course, you can limit the uncontrolled, excessive breakdown of muscle tissue on a catabolic background with the help of a protein supplement with a slow absorption time. This way we get to the point:
What is the role of the first meal and why are proteins so important?
Right after waking up, you simply need to eat a full meal to, on the one hand, increase its level in terms of energy and at the same time the hormonal and anabolic response, and on the other hand, inhibit further nocturnal catabolism leading to excessive muscle fiber breakdown. For this very reason, time is an extremely important factor - as you can imagine, the kinetics of protein fraction absorption plays a role here, and thus BV (biological value).
Breakfast Protein contains a very good quality whey protein concentrate (WPC) characterized by very high absorption, fast absorption time and biological accessibility - it also has a relatively high BV, as much as 104. Biological value is a numerical value describing the extent to which a given protein fraction will be used by our body, among others for building and protective purposes in relation to muscles. In addition to all this, it is worth using BCAA, despite its content in the protein fractions of the supplement itself. Why? Well, the concentrate (similarly to isolate) begins to be digested inside the body only after 30 minutes, which also does not translate into its complete absorption / assimilation ... Unfortunately, you have to wait for this from 1.5 to even 2 hours - however, this does not mean that the protein parts are not used during this time. On the contrary - this is only the time of complete assimilation until the "reserve" resulting from the supply of the building element from the outside, in the form of a protein supplement, is exhausted. BCAA will be a safeguard here for this very reason – the body does not have to break them down into smaller parts, and they can almost immediately flood our muscles with a wave, nourishing them and stimulating them to grow, while taking care of the difficult issue of actually maintaining a positive nitrogen balance. So BCAA right after waking up, and then Breakfast Protein as a replacement or a small addition to a meal.
Breakfast should contain all the necessary elements for various biochemical processes of our body, therefore the supplement cannot lack carbohydrates in the form of rice and oat flakes . Why so? Here, it is primarily about fueling the metabolism and, as it were, activating the insulin apparatus, or more precisely, its irritation, while simultaneously providing energy substances necessary to start physical processes.
There must be energy!
Carbohydrates in this form will be gradually absorbed and nourish the body both in a short time, and the remaining fractions will be absorbed longer, thanks to which the muscles and all of our systems will receive regular energy supplies.
At the beginning of the day, not only energy or anabolic-anti-catabolic elements are important, but also stimulation from the nervous system in some cases. Regular meals and the ingredients contained in them will effectively drive metabolism, and guarana found in Breakfast Protein will effectively stimulate the body and provide better concentration and focus - we will be able to wake up faster, which can be difficult in the morning due to the fact that people who exercise live on average 2 or even 3 times more intensively than people with low / medium physical activity. A complex of simple and complex carbohydrates that synergistically work together and complement both the effects and the times of action is something that is an invaluable help in the morning!
You should also not forget about the elements that are essential to start your day – you certainly use vitamin and mineral complexes, but the supplement has been additionally enriched with magnesium , which in fact not only acts as a regulator of muscle contractions, ensuring their optimal work, but also provides excellent support for their development in terms of processes related to the ATP energy molecule and cyclic supplementation with creatine agents.
Sensory values have not been forgotten either – what would a start to the day be without great taste? Breakfast Protein currently comes in five sensational and mood-boosting flavours: coconut with vanilla, forest fruit, strawberry, chocolate and cherry yoghurt. As you can see, everyone will find something for themselves here!
