Super Athletes
& Plant Based Food
On the last years we are witness to a rise in the numbers of athletes that their nutrition is plant based, mostly among endurance effort athletes & super athletes.
The special need for these athletes to get the right fuel, It is of utmost importance in the field of rapid recovery after training, the feeling of the satiety & lightness & general improvement in power and energy.
Plant-based nutrition & Superfood provides these athletes with the special qualities of the right fuel.
We have been educated to believe that meat and dairy products are the only source of protein in a good diet, a myth that is wrong.
The role of protein in the body
Proteins play a major and important role in building cells and body tissues. used in speeding up processes and metabolic circuits.
In the growth process, building enzymes and hormones, as a source of energy during times of hunger, and to preserve normal muscle mass and strong body.
Lack of protein in the body may be expressed in a feeling of fatigue, saggy muscle mass, neurochemical and hormonal imbalance.
Extra protein can overload the immune system, on the kidneys and cause a decrease in bone density.
The proteins play very important roles, quality and quantity are important for efficient and effective functioning of our body.
The Protein structure
The protein built from amino acids, which are organic compounds that constitute the basic structural units.
Proteins consist of 20 different amino acids, eleven are naturally synthesized by our body. The remaining nine called essential amino acids, must be taken from the food we eat.
Recommendation of the health organizations for the quantity of protein per day
The health organizations recommendation for the amount of protein recommended per day is 0.8 grams for every body kg.
So if your body weight is 70 kg, the amount of daily protein required for you is 56 grams, or 2-1.4 gram for every body kg for athletes with efforted endurance.
The Advantages of vegetal protein
Animal food contains difficult salting out proteins that contain a higher percentage of nitrogen, nitrogen becomes a complex process for ammonia and then to be implanted and excreted by the kidneys in the urine. The nervous system is very sensitive to the ammonia level in the body, and therefore, a high-protein animal nutrition can even affect the emotional and intellectual state!
Vegetal plant based food contain protein that aren't salting out and they allow maximum absorption and assimilation and minimal toxic waste.
Whole protein with high biovalue
One of the world's most widespread nutrition and health myths is that animal food is the sole source of a full protein, one that contains all of the essential amino acids. Additionally, animal protein has a high biological value and best growth factor. These myths are incorrect!
Plant based food, mainly seaweed and green leaves, superfood, seeds and nuts, legumes and sprouts contains all the essential amino acids are a source of full protein without any problem, if you are concerned about diversity.
The transition to plant-based nutrition
A person who decides to go to a plant-based diet or to underestimate the consumption of protein from the animal should be aware of the variety, The types and quality of the products it puts into its kitchen to satisfy the protein requirements that the body needs.
From personal experience, perseverance in the consumption of spirulina, sprouts, superfood and legumes completely eliminates the craving for animal protein.
High quality proteins for ongoing consumption:
spirulina (edible alga)- Green blue alga growing in fresh sweet water pools. Spirulina contains 65% protein.
It is rich in vitamins and minerals and is considered to be the most nutritious food.
Chia and hamp seeds- The seeds of Chile from Mexico who were the food of the Aztecs, and the seeds of hamp from the cannabis plant, are known for their healing properties.
They contain 20-50% protein. They are also rich in essential fatty acids.
Seaweeds- Seaweed is a source of protein rich in essential minerals and the Nuri seaweed, the superfood of the sea, contains 40% protein.
Superfood mulberry- Goji berries, mulberry and golden berries contains whole protein in concentration between 10-16%.
The goji berries encourages growth and proper development in the body, rich in antioxidants, in vitamins and minerals.
legumes- Like hummus/ chick-pea, mung bean, lentils in all colors contain 10-20% protein.
Quinoa- quinoa is a ticking grain and nutrient containing 15% protein. its a great substitute for rice.
Nuts and Almonds- great source for protein, cashew nuts for example contain 15% protein.
sprouts- All types of seeds and legumes, after sprouting, contain about 25-45% protein in an available and easy-to-digest and assimilate.
The sprouts are rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals.
In summary, vegan plant-based protein contains a variety of plants that are commonly derived from high quality protein: brown rice, whole and sprouted, hamp seeds protein, pea protein, lucerne protein, blueberry protein and more...
The protein production goes through the spores and drying in the freezer.
In order to enable optimal health the protein must be:
Noon genetically engineered, no added suger, no soya, no dairy products, gluten free, raw and tasty.
