THE EXPERT'S GUIDE TO PROTEIN You don't have to be a fitness freak to know that protein is important for your body. But why is it so important and how much do you need every day? 1. WHY DO OUR BODIES NEED PROTEIN? Proteins are an essential part of the billions of cells that our bodies create every day. By supplying amino acids (your body’s fundamental building blocks) proteins help your body to perform a vast number of functions – from repairing tissue to creating enzymes. 2. HOW MUCH PROTEIN DO OUR BODIES NEED EVERY DAY? The recommended daily dose is about 0.8-1g of protein per 1 kilo of body weight. That is about 56g for a man weighing 70 kilos and 46g for a woman weighing 60 kilos. But if you are an athlete the recommendation is higher and may exceed 2g per 1 kilo body weight. 3. TELL US ABOUT THE WELLNESS BY ORIFLAME PROTEIN BLEND? Protein Blend is Professor Stig Steen’s original formula, developed to support the nutritional needs of his critically ill patients before and after surgery. Created using his unique, high-quality blend of protein sources and dietary fibre, it’s the perfect solution to enhance your daily nutrition. 4. WHAT MAKES PROTEIN BLEND UNIQUE? The unique thing about Protein Blend is that it combines three different protein sources: pea protein, whey protein from milk and protein from egg. Together they deliver an amino acid composition that supports your body’s ability to create new proteins and cells in the best possible way. Protein Blend also delivers high-quality nutrition from ingredients providing slow release carbohydrates, fats, and fibre. #wellnessbyoriflame #WellnessHelpsYou #WellnessOriflameUk #WellnessByOriflameUk #wellness
