What's The Right Number When It Comes To An Amount Of Protein?

Essentially, a healthy, effective diet that will ensure you a lifetime of vitality encompasses the intake of the proper combination of nutrients. Protein in particular plays a significant role in the production of healthy cells. Experts agree that the total amount of protein that should be ingested on a daily basis settles somewhere around 20%.

However the specific amount of protein you ingest also depends on your particular body type, weight, gender, and level of physical activity. Someone who is physically active and invested in building muscle mass must consume a greater amount of protein than the average person.

There are several dietary sources from which to receive the appropriate amount of protein. Lean meats, dairy, nuts and seeds, and many leafy green vegetables provide an excellent source of protein. For vegetarians, soy, dairy, and vegetable product consumption should be increased to ensure the appropriate amount of protein.

If you are unsure as to the specific amount of protein that you should consume, it may be best to visit with your doctor or a licensed nutritionist. A medical professional will be able to guide in the best direction for dietary health. Additionally, there are a great number of comprehensive books written to help navigate the complexities of healthy eating. You’ll be able to get a firm idea of the amount of protein you should ingest by pouring over these books. Online resources also exist to help you get started on your dietary journey. You will also have access to a vast community of others who are committed to healthy eating; the support can be enormously gratifying.

The amount of protein you should consume is like any other dietary recommendation. It’s a starting point – a guide – to help you determine what is best for your particular body. Using information resources, along with the help of a medical professional if needed, you’ll be well on your way to better health.

Tips For Buying a Shaker

Buying a Shaker is a seemingly simple task. However, such a huge assortment of Shakers available from a multitude of manufacturers, confusion can set in quickly. There are many factors to consider such as performance, functions, capacity, colors and appearance. The Shaker you choose will be based on your needs, wants and taste preferences and all of these go far beyond just ice crushing ability.

When you're ready to start your search, ask yourself these questions. What will I be mainly using it for? How often will I use it? How much jar capacity do I need? Where will I store it? What fashion style suits my liking? Once you've answered these questions, you will have a much better idea of what you're after in a Shaker and be able to narrow the field of possibilities.

The two major styles of Shakers are counter top and hand held or immersion. Counter top Shakers offer more power, greater jar capacity and overall versatility but they also take up more space in use and in storage. Hand held Shakers are more convenient (you can blend in a pot or bowl) and take up far less space but offer much less power. You may decide that it's beneficial for you to own both, whatever your decision, there are many options in both styles.

Variable speeds are an option to be considered. Some Shakers such as professional bar Shakers have only one or two speeds while others designed for home use have up to sixteen speeds. Again ask yourself what the Shaker's main use will be. The power of a Shaker really depends on its motor's wattage. The higher the wattage, the greater the power. If you're looing for a high power unit then look for one with a minimum of 800 watts. Many of the speeds of a multi speed unit aren't necessary. What is necessary is for the Shaker to have high quality hardened stainless steel blades aside from the motor, the blades on a Shaker is the most critical component to its overall performance.

The jar is the next part to be considered. Jars come in various sizes and shapes and can be made of stainless steel, glass or polycarbonate (high impact plastic). Your preference will determine which type you'll need but all jars should have a cover that provides a leak proof seal and a comfortable handle making an easy pour. The jar should also be dishwasher safe and have a blade drive system that is leak proof. The jar should be very stable when seated on the motor base yet easily removed. It's pour spout should be designed for an even steady flow when dispensing so that your blended contents end up where you want them.

Design, style and appearance including color are important factors in your decision. Shakers come in a wide variety of styles such as retro, euro and contemporary. For some people performance factors outweigh appearance and others vice-versa. Personal preference will prevail for each person. The truth is that there are so many models to choose from, you'll be able to get darn close to if not exactly what you want and need.
