Protein Supplements

There are many types of protein available to people such as whey, soy, rice, hemp. Some are raw whole food versions and some are not. What we've been finding as of late is that whey is one of the most bioavailable. The important feature it must have is to be 'undenatured'; in other words, in a raw unprocessed form. In this form it is actually alkalizing to the body. This is virtually the only form of dairy we agree with - unless you have your own cow at home. Other whey forms are acidic or acid forming and can be recognized by their 'isolate' forms. The importance here is pH. An acidic pH/body creates a state ideal for inflammation and disease to begin/exist. Soy is a good protein; however, it's often genetically modified and can cause issues with hormones (specifically estrogen) as it mimics and blocks the body's natural form. Hemp has an acquired taste and rice does not seem to keep a person filled. Any person in athletics must supplement with a protein within an hour after an athletic activity.

On a side note. We went and saw avatar recently. Wonderful movie. Lots of life lessons to be learned here. If we could learn to work with the planet the way the Avatars do, our earth would be in much better shape.
