Whey protein vs. plant protein. 🌱 vs. 🐄. Both whey protein and dairy protein can have a place in a Genius Life! . It's important to know that both whey protein and veggie protein powders are processed foods but whey protein undergoes much less processing to create. Whey is simply a byproduct of cheese-making which humans have been doing for thousands of years. . Veggie proteins are slower digesting and can be good all purpose proteins. They are usually made with pea, pumpkin seed powder, and hemp. Some veggie protein powders contain heavy metals like lead. I try to avoid protein powders made with rice protein as processed rice foods usually contain very high levels of arsenic. . Whether the metals in these protein powders is actually harmful is up for debate. The inconvenient truth is many of our most commonly consumed foods contain some level of heavy metals today. But it's also worth knowing that whey protein doesn't contain any heavy metals, but unless your whey comes from an organic cow, it could contain hormones and pesticide residues. . Whey protein is highly bioavailable and contains high levels of leucine which is very good at stimulating muscle protein synthesis. Leucine is less abundant in plant proteins. It also provides cysteine which is important for glutathione synthesis. . I like to use whey protein after my workouts sometimes, and veggie protein as a satiating snack. Neither are daily staples for me. And neither are superior to protein from whole food sources like eggs, beef, fish, chicken, etc, though they can be a means of cheaply boosting your protein intake with minimal "add on" calories. . Hope this helps.

This is gonna ruffle some feathers, but alter your body’s pH AT YOUR OWN RISK (or just don’t). 😞 . Your blood is slightly alkaline, with a pH between 7.35 and 7.45. Your stomach is very acidic, with a pH of 3.5 or below, so it can break down food and extract important nutrition. And your urine changes depending on what you eat. That's how your body keeps the level in your blood steady. . There is no food or water or supplement anywhere that will change your blood pH to any significant degree. If there was, it’d probably kill you. And alkaline water? All that’s doing is alkalinizing your stomach acid. You need that acid to absorb certain vitamins and minerals, silly. . And just to be extra clear, this post does not in ANY WAY condone altering your body’s pH with the actually effect methods of doing so listed in the pic. . Any questions? Love you guys. ❤️ . Max .
