Power of Protein (PDF)

Dear Friends, It is with much passion that I’m writing, updating and organizing this information to share with you. My desk and all available space has been literally covered with the latest research as well as the timeless ‘golden oldies’ of protein information, stories, and how that translates into the dietary guidelines and grams per pound of desired body weight for today, both for the sedentary and for the very active. Did you know that we lose 5-10 lbs. of muscle every decade if we’re not doing strength training? Wayne Wescott, B.S., M.S. Phys. Ed, PSU and Ph.D from Ohio State. Dr Wayne Campbell adds: If you’re between 50 – 80 years of age, you need 50% more protein than the RDA just to maintain. 25% more protein above the RDA if you’re younger. I invite you to journey with me. Let’s get informed and get vibrantly healthy together. Ever hear the story of the little boy who’s grandfather instructs him on how to skip a stone across water? As the ripples are being created the Grandfather explains how we are like those ripples. Each ripple has an effect on the next. Likewise, our vibrations that we set forth into the Universe have an affect on many. And the better we feel, the happier we are and that can be contagious! Let’s be contagious together. I’m smiling at you, :o) Linda The Story of Protein The word ‘protein’ from Greek, literally means of ‘first importance.’ The ‘building blocks’ of protein are the amino acids. What is vitally important is the amino acid content of the protein. The key to our body’s ability to utilize protein is having LIVE amino acids and enzymes. WHAT IS PROTEIN NEEDED FOR IN OUR BODIES? Here is just a partial list….. • Essential for growth • Building new tissue • Repairing broken-down tissue • Heat & energy to the body • Makes hormones – the active principle of glands • Makes your skin, hair, muscles, nails, brain, heart, lungs and all other internal organs CHARACTERISTICS OF PROTEIN DEFICIENCY – Mild Protein Deficiency: Severe Protein Deficiency Pale color – pale complexion Water and wastes remain in the body Fatigue easily; loss of vitality (swelling and puffiness) Low resistance to infection and disease Enzyme and hormone production decreases Poor muscle tone (faulty posture) Antibodies produced too slowly Low blood pressure Skin becomes shriveled looking Pale blood color Dental cavities increase Slower clotting of blood Bones do not knit well (mend if broken) Stunted growth, abnormal growth Tissues mend slowly and scar badly growth patterns and possible retardation Blood pressure is abnormal and eratic can occur in the very young Personality changes and early senility All symptoms increase in severity according may occur to amounts of protein deficiency Loss of appetite, poor digestion and constipation become apparent Note: These above mentioned symptoms should be discussed with your personal physician.

My upline sponsor said, “Linda, you’ve got to give him the Soy Protein everyday – just one tea- spoon”. His nose cleared; his little immune system became stronger. Roland Oosterhouse suggested for the rest of us dealing with colds, everytime you take some C’s & Alfalfa, take 1 teas. of our Soy Protein – you’ll get better so much faster. Jim Burke, 12 years as a cancer researcher said: Ross laboratories presented to Purdue U. research showing that ½ cup of soy/day regresses cancer cells. Dr. Lee Coyne, former professor of exercise physiology & nutritional consultant to Olympic athletes, son had asthma. They had had a beef ranch with freezers filled. It was the protein in our Soy Protein that helped his young teen so much that he qualified for Canada’s Olympic Biathlon team, and later coached that team. Dr. Jim Scala once commented that a can of this protein was the largest can of wrinkle cream one could buy.

Former fitness consultant to Canada’s National Hockey Team, The National Alpine Ski Team and selected Canadian Speed Skaters and Canadian Olympic Biathletes. http://www.centralhome.com/ballroomcountry/eat.htm Years ago Lee sat in my office anxious to share research he had just gleaned from Penn State’s Library.* He had notes scribbled in the margins and at lightning fast speed was demonstrating how to calculate the grams of protein necessary to maintain good physical and mental health. The most updated research indicates protein represents 30% of total calories. Follow with me, if you will, the formula to calculate grams of protein per day. 3000 calories 1500 calories x.30 x.30 900 cal. 450 cal ÷ 4 ÷ 4___ 225 gm 112 gm There’s 4 cal/gm of protein, so we’ve divided the calories by 4. No food is 100% Protein. 25% is considered high protein. Let’s take the 1500 calorie diet – 450 x 4 = 1800 cal. of high protein food! Now, how are we going to get that and still keep the fat to 30%??? Let’s just say, you have 2 protein shakes/day: 32 gm protein Still need 80 gm from the diet on 1500 cal/day Deficiency in Protein is linked to diabetes, heart disease, cancer and yet take a look at this chart (also from the 90’s). It becomes easy to understand why the U.S. leads the world in these degenerative diseases. Type 2 Diabetes is quickly on the rise in children and the number of overweight kids and teens has DOUBLED in the last 10 years. Grams of Protein per day Males Females America 56 44 Australia 70 58 France 90 85 Japan 70 60 Netherlands 70 60 Norway 70 60 England 87 73 East Germany 85 75 West Germany 72 60 *Source: Sherman Sports Science Exc. Nov. ’91 and Linda Houtkooper, U. of AZ, published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. 4 The need for protein is 2.5 – 3 x’s greater under STRESS! It doesn’t matter if it’s ‘good’ or ‘bad’ stress. The body just says: “Here we go again.” And needs to produce the stress hormones, like adrenaline and cortisol. It’s estimated that the average human being moves under stress 15-20 x’s/day. Let’s take a look at our diet. What foods deliver protein? Soybeans Legumes, Peanuts Soy milk, cheese Nuts & Seeds Whole grains Eggs Milk Poultry Fish Beef A few comments from Health Professional Meeting, Anaheim Convention, 2010. Dr. Jamie McManus, Director Medical Affairs @ Shaklee, reported that if there is a ‘slip up’ on Cinch’s Lifestyle/Weight Management plan, it’s usually due to not enough protein!
