Hack your walk with Nordic Walking Guy’s 3 rules:

  1. Walk with purpose!
  2. Be consistent!
  3. Remember everything counts but not everything matters!

An article suggested ways to increase protein intake by using protein powder.

Main point: “By simply adding a scoop of this powder to smoothies, beverages or recipes, you can benefit from as much as 25 whopping grams of this vital macro in your diet in one fell swoop (or scoop).”

More about it:

  • Types of protein powder.
    • Whey protein “comes from dairy milk.”
    • Casein protein also comes from dairy milk.
    • Pea protein comes from the yellow pea.
    • Hemp protein comes from cannabis and doesn’t have THC. It “contains fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, micronutrients and antioxidants.”
    • Egg protein “is made by removing the yolks from eggs, then dehydrating and pasteurizing the whites.”
    • Soy protein comes from soybeans.
  • Benefits and a shortfall.
    • Good blood pressure.
    • Weight management.
    • More muscle.
    • But possible heavy metals could affect health.
  • Other advice includes how to select protein power and how to use it. There was also a list of FAQs.

Why it matters: “Protein powder can be a positive addition to a balanced diet, especially for people who have difficulty consuming enough protein.”
