Whey protein may reduce your risk of diabetes and obesity

In some countries such as the USA, 35% of adults and 17% of children are officially obese! Obesity can lead to cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes; both of which are serious, lifelong diseases.

A new study published in the ACS Journal of Proteome Research suggests that Whey Protein could have benefits for people who are obese but yet do not have diabetes.

Cardiovascular disease in obese people is made worse by high levels of fat in their blood, following a meal. Recent research has found that the type of protein consumed in the meal can affect the amount of fat in the blood after eating.

This new research has found that whey protein such as LA Whey, can lower the amount of fat and increase peptide hormone which clears glucose in the blood.

How can this study help you with your muscle and fat loss goals?

Potentially, replacing one meal a day with a quality whey protein drink such as LA Whey can help you reduce fat, yet stay lean and keep muscle mass. LA Whey’s new Gold formula is sweetened with Stevia, meaning there is no extra sugar ingestion, keeping your blood sugar levels constant.

Diets which contain meats with a high fat content are not good for health. Vegetarian sources of protein can be a more healthy alternative, especially for those at high risk of diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease.
