July 25th, 2011 by Inspector | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Supplements

For those who are working out, they may want a little extra help in doing that. They may use or consider using protein shakes and so that would lead to wondering, are protein shakes good for you? Many people will want to use an already made protein shake to help them as they work out or get ready to work out.

Based on research and what fitness experts say, most people usually get enough protein in their diet and that they do not need the extra protein shakes or supplements. If people need it is because a doctor or someone in the medical field has worked with the person individually and feels it is a good idea. Most of those that are either in the medical or fitness field say there are other ways to get more protein in the diet without using protein shakes. These may be cheaper and healthier way to do that.

Whey Protein Powder and the Glutathione Connection

March 27th, 2010 by DietGal | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Supplements

Whey protein powder has become the most popular protein powder in the market. This is not surprising as it is the best-known food source at present for building muscles. It is the highest scoring protein on the BV (biologically value) chart, a system that ranks protein according to how well it is digested and absorbed into the blood stream to be used for essential functions like building muscle. This is the fundamental reason whey protein is the protein powder of choice for many athletes and bodybuilders. However, there is another less known and amazing health benefit of whey protein powder.

The Glutathione Connection
The ability of whey protein to raise glutathione levels in the body is one of the best health benefits of whey protein powder next to muscle building. Glutathione is itself a protein that has some very important functions for maintaining the health of the body. First of all it is the most powerful of antioxidants and for that reason is often referred to as the ‘master antioxidant’. Provided we are not deficient in glutathione it should exist within all of our hundreds of trillions of cells where it protects them from the oxidative damage of free radicals. What is unique about glutathione as an antioxidant is that it lives and is created within our cells. Other antioxidants (although very important too) like vitamin C and E are achieved directly from eating food sources that contain them and do not work as antioxidants deep within a cell. This inner cell protection is the sole responsibility of glutathione. So important is this role of glutathione that its levels in the body is by far the best indicator of how long we will live!

Protein Supplements – Don’t Overlook the Protein You Need

February 20th, 2010 by DietGal | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Supplements

With protein being one of the three main ingredients in your diet, it is no surprise that protein supplements have become a staple in the bodybuilders’ diet. Not only are bodybuilders benefiting from protein supplements, but those looking to lose weight, increase performance or just to maintain their current level of fitness are looking for this as well.

One very important thing you must know about protein powder is the cholesterol level. The cholesterol in any given protein powder will tell you volumes about the quality of the protein. The lower the cholesterol value the higher the quality. You should be looking for the lowest cholesterol you can afford. It should be no shock to you that the more refined powder will be more expensive. The reason is that this protein is more easily absorbed into the blood stream, making it readily available for your muscles to rebuild them, but it costs the manufacturers a lot to get the powder into this form.

Ultimate Colon Cleanse Review

November 18th, 2008 by Inspector | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Supplements


Try Ultimate Colon Cleanse Ever since being won over by the Master Cleanse to the health benefits of doing an occasional detox cleanse, I’ve been looking for a plan that I can use to do a colon cleanse without having to spend two weeks fasting. I’ve tried doing the Psyllium and Bentonite clay shakes, but let’s be honest. The P&B shake works, but it sure doesn’t taste all that great and it can get a little tough gagging it down several times a day.

After reading some messageboard posts about it on CureZone, I decided to try the Ultimate Colon Cleanse by Organica. This turned out to be a better solution for me than making my own homemade colon cleanse recipes because it meant that I didn’t have to drink the psyllium and clay drink anymore. But it actually has some other benefits as well that I think make it the best solution for cleansing your colon.
