プロテインを摂取するタイミング (Case 2: 美容のためにプロテインを摂取する)  〜栄養士のColumn Vol.5 (中編)

When to take protein (Case 2: Taking protein for beauty) ~ Nutritionist's Column Vol.5 (Part 2)

Protein is one of the nutrients that everyone needs to consume in sufficient amounts.
Last time we talked about the timing of protein intake in conjunction with training, but this time we will talk about the surprisingly close connection between protein and beauty.
We will introduce you to the best timing for taking protein for beauty purposes.

Those who want to improve their skin, nails, and hair

Case 2: Recommended timing for drinking protein for those who want to improve their skin, nails, and hair (those who care about beauty)

People who never miss out on skin care products such as lotions and serums, and people who take care of their nails and hair every day.
We need care from the outside, but we also need care from the inside. Cells are reborn at regular intervals. This rebirth is called turnover.
Turnover plays a major role in becoming beautiful, but age and a chaotic lifestyle can disrupt turnover...
Protein helps regulate this cell turnover, leading to beautiful skin, nails, and hair.

Before breakfast

When you wake up in the morning and feel hungry, it's your chance to replenish your nutrients to care for you from the inside out.

Before bedtime

It is said that skin cells undergo cell division and regenerate while you sleep. Growth hormone is involved in this. The material for this growth hormone is protein.
It is said that by providing sufficient nutrients during the time cells regenerate while you sleep, you can expect to see beauty benefits.

Antioxidant intake

In addition, to maintain beauty, it is also important to actively consume foods that have antioxidant properties.
Antioxidants are substances that suppress oxidation. Oxidation is the state in which things rust, but humans can also oxidize due to stress and ultraviolet rays. In our daily lives, we take in oxygen to live, but some of this becomes active oxygen. Active oxygen is also necessary to protect the body, but if it is produced in excess, it can damage cells and cause the body to become oxidized.
In other words, it is one of the causes that threaten beauty.
It is said that in order to suppress the production of this active oxygen, it is necessary to eat foods with high antioxidant properties.

GRØN protein is rich in ingredients with high antioxidant properties.

Next time, we will introduce some recommended recipes using GRØN that are perfect for each time of the day.
