The Importnace of Proteins


Proteins are necessary for building the structural components of the human body, such as muscles and organs. You also need proteins to keep your immune system healthy, synthesize neurotransmitters, create and signal hormones, and much more. A balanced diet supplies you will all of the protein you need. Meats, eggs, and dairy products are significant sources of protein, but you can also get protein from a variety of grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
When working out in the gym, lifting weights to gain muscle, maintain muscle or simply adding strength we are going to tear fibres, microscopic fibres that need to grow back stronger for you to succeed in any of the above.
So, in order to build muscle mass, you first have to tear it slightly.
The degree of tearing is directly related to how hard and how long you exercise and what type of exercise you do. Movements in which muscles forcefully contract while they are lengthening will cause the most muscle growth.
These are called "eccentric" contractions, and they provide the resisting action of the muscle such as lowering weights and performing the downward movements in exercises.
When you get the proper nutrition, your body repairs this muscle tissue damage and makes it stronger, for the next time you have to handle this weight or exercise
That's why you have to first cause slight muscle damage, for new muscle mass to be built.
After finishing our workout our body needs to start helping the muscle to recover fast. By drinking a liquid, or Protein Shake our body will digest and absorb the proteins quicker, pushing it into our blood stream and direct into the muscles starting the recuperation process.

Rest is also a key factor in muscle growth. It's not what happens inside the gym that makes muscle grow but what happens outside! That's why the importance of nutrition is vital during any exercise, whether it be Body Building, Weight Loss, Weight Control or Strength and Conditioning!
