More About Functional Foods
What are food and drink supplements?
The term "food and drink supplements" is exactly what it sounds like: an edible supplement to the foods and drinks you're getting from your regular diet. Whether you take them as a powder, oil or liquid, or mixed into a tasty bar or treat, the goal is to achieve optimal nutrition—because even the healthiest, most balanced diets often fall short. There are many varieties on the market, so finding the right nutritional drink or food supplement that suits your tastes and your nourishment needs can be overwhelming. One helpful way to narrow it down: read product labels and understand how the ingredients work.
Are functional foods good for you?
Functional foods can also be known as superfoods, "healthy you" products, or health food. But aren't many foods already naturally healthy, like fruits and vegetables, for example? What makes functional foods stand out from other healthy foods and drinks is that certain contents may provide an added benefit by including more of a certain ingredient or adding new ingredients to the mix. A functional food is great for complementing a new diet or providing a healthier alternative for the foods and drinks you already enjoy.
What are the top nutritional drinks?
Nutrition doesn't need to be limited to food, and in fact even typical drinks like tea and coffee can offer health benefits without compromising taste or effectiveness. It all comes down to the way they are manufactured. For example, while the antioxidants in coffee are usually stripped during roasting, the HealthyRoast® roasting process helps to preserve these protectors of oxidative stress—so be sure to look for brands that use this process. For a different kind of boost, the polyphenol compounds in spearmint herbal tea support mental focus and concentration—without the sugar or stimulants. Protein shakes are also a great way to supplement your nutritional needs and support your workouts, and are also a viable option for those with trouble chewing, or who don't have time to cook protein-rich foods.
Why supplement with whey protein?
Getting enough protein intake through diet alone can be tough, and it's a crucial step to maintaining or building muscle mass. Whey protein supports lean muscle growth and immune health by supplementing your body with high levels of amino acids. In powder form, whey protein can easily be made into protein shakes with a shaker bottle or a quick blend. Trying to keep up with your gym sessions is challenging enough—which is why your body needs all the support it can get.
