Fitness generally we think that three points training seven points of diet, diet occupies an important part of fitness, if you do not eat well, then fitness training will become a simple destruction of the body.
So for the vast majority of fitness methods, the most important dietary element is protein, because training stimulates muscle, and protein supplements muscle, so protein is the focus of our diet.
Protein supplementation does not mean how much protein you eat or drink, but how much protein you eventually absorb. If you eat a lot of protein powder, but eventually only absorb a little protein, then most of the protein will be wasted.
For fitness players, after drinking protein powder, some habits determine your protein absorption effect, if you drink protein powder will do the following four things, then you will drink protein powder will be wasted.
1. Drink Alcohol after Drinking Protein Powder
Some time ago, I saw a video saying that when Schwarzenegger drank protein powder, he would serve it with a glass of wine. I heard that it could make protein absorbed better. I judged this video to be a hoax.
Alcohol does have the function of relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation, expanding our blood vessels and speeding up blood flow, but alcohol decomposes our proteins and testosterone and inhibits our protein absorption.
If you drink protein powder and alcohol, you will find that when you urinate, you will make foam. That foam is not alcohol, but the protein in our body, including the protein powder you just drank, and the original protein in your body.
So when you finish your exercise, you can't drink anything containing alcohol. If you finish your exercise and drink alcohol, not only will the protein powder be urinated, but also the protein in your body will be decomposed.
In general, if you exercise, you basically need to keep away from alcohol. If you have the habit of drinking, it's hard for you to absorb protein, and the training effect will become very poor.
