What Exactly Is Protein?

It’s a macronutrient, as are fats and carbs. Proteins are mainly comprised of amino acids and enzymes that catalyse reactions within the body to perform endless different functions. Fats and carbs are fuels, and even protein can be burned for fuel in leaner times.

What Do Vegan Athletes Eat?

Venus Williams

In the world of tennis, it doesn't get much bigger than the Williams sisters. These two totemic siblings have been blowing us away with their skills ever since they arrived on the world stage in the 1990s. Forced to rethink her diet after being diagnosed with an auto-immune condition, Venus has embraced a vegan approach for several years. She stands by the following:

• Beans
• Rice
• Potatoes with salt and pepper seasoning
• Bananas

For the modern fitness enthusiast, protein powders have become a diet staple — and so much of a commodity that you’ll likely find them in (just about) anyone’s cupboard. From whey to casein, eggs, and a variety of vegan sources, the protein powder supplements of today have come a long way since their inception in the 1930s.

But not all protein powders are created equal. Walk up and down the health food aisle in your local supermarket and you’ll be faced with an overwhelming assortment of products, each presenting you with different formulations, amino acid profiles, and flavour options.

And to enhance their marketing appeal, many manufacturers choose to add stimulants, such as caffeine and DMAA, to their formulations, which serve to increase their overall potency and stimulate athletic performance.

Wondering what DMAA is? Here’s all you need to know — from how it’s produced to its mechanism of action and potential health risks.

Probiotics have been a popular supplement for many years now, so you probably understand what they are and their importance – live “friendly” bacteria that are produced during the process of fermentation. They have a number of health benefits including reducing gut inflammation and symptoms of digestive issues such as IBS and food intolerances, boosting the immune system, and there’s even evidence that certain types of bacteria can reduce your risk of developing cancer.

The main problem with probiotics is that they must be stored carefully to avoid killing off the live bacteria. Probiotic supplements that have been exposed to heat or stored for too long will be ineffective.

This is where prebiotics can be very helpful. They don’t contain live bacteria so you don’t have to be as careful about storage conditions and they have a longer shelf-life than probiotics.

Prebiotics were first discovered and named in 1995. They are a special form of dietary fibre that act as a fuel source for the friendly bacteria in your gut. Consuming prebiotics helps to increase the number of beneficial bacteria that occur naturally in your digestive system and can also make probiotics more effective.
