Today in our country is full of shops and offices of a special "sports" power, which, as a kind of "sacred" product available proteins. And often not only buyers but also sellers themselves are not even aware that we are talking about the most common proteins. But beautiful jars and sachets positioned literally as "magic", thanks to which will be able to build muscle! And they say that they are - really great food! And whether it is in fact so? Let's investigate.
Australian scientists have recently published the results of their latest in the "Sports" Nutrition Research. It turned out that the BCAA amino acids in the composition of the food may reduce the life expectancy! And this is not the first tests in the field, which led to such negative results.
What is BCAA? As already noted above, it is an amino acid with a branched side chains - leucine, isoleucine and valine. And they do help to build lean muscle mass (that's why they were so important for athletes - professionals and amateurs).
However, to pay for everything! And those who abuse the proteins (especially bodybuilders), a lot of risk.
It turns out, BCAA-amino acids belong to a much more significant role in the human body than just helpers in building muscle mass.
So, in the latest "Australian" experiment, scientists observed the experimental mice that were fed protein-controlling effect.
Elevated levels of BCAA-amino acids in the feeding led to enhanced content data acids in blood in rodents. And this, in turn, provoked a reduction of tryptophan to enter the brain - the same amino acid prior to the formation of "happiness hormone" - serotonin. After such a meal the animals became much worse sleep and no longer feel the pleasure of food. And their increased appetite (which is natural). "Norms" of mice was overeating, followed by the acquisition of excess weight, which resulted in the disease, provoking an early death.
And all this despite the fact that the increase in BCAA amino acids coming from the food, it was a small - normal consumption increased only by 2 times. A negative effect was immediate, followed immediately.
Important! Scientists believe should diversify your diet, so that the body received from different protein sources. Let it be dairy products, fish, meat, nuts, eggs, legumes and cereals. It is also very important to eat foods rich in tryptophan (turkey, sunflower seeds, cheese, soy).
What are the implications of all this we can do? Disappointing. Notorious "sports" a diet rich in proteins (and hence BCAA-amino acids) can reduce the life! In addition, it is worsen mood, leads to weight gain and development of diabetes.
