Brendan Brazier: Plant Protein For Muscle Inflammation Rescue
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 28th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.
Vegan triathlete Brendan Brazier is giving everyone the full lecture on plant based protein and building muscle at Kris Carr‘s website Crazysexylife.com.
Plant protein is great, Brendan insists, because it doesn’t increase the inflammation in the muscle as much as animal protein does after a workout, allowing you to recover faster and lift more weights.
“In place of isolates and acid-forming animal foods, there are host of plant-based options that will ensure inflammation be kept to a minimum. Post workout, excellent plant-based protein sources include: hemp, pea, and rice protein. And while protein is a crucial component for muscle repair and building, so too are essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), vitamins, minerals, enzymes, probiotics, antioxidants and a host of other nutritional components that can be found in a variety of plant-based whole foods. This being the case, the post workout smoothies will deliver greater results if it contains these components, not merely protein.”
