Hello soulwell community! 我們今天又為大家準備了一篇新文章- 我們將討論蛋白質在人體內的益處以及其重要的原因。閱讀完這篇淺顯易懂的文章後，你會了解如何，何時，以及為何應該在你的日常飲食中添加蛋白棒的攝入。所以我們來 dig in 吧！
Protein is an essential macronutrient that helps build muscle, repair tissue, and make enzymes and hormones. Protein supplementation may also aid weight loss and help people tone their muscles. The premise of a protein bar is simply to provide a more convenient food, highly enriched in protein, to supplement your regular diet. Protein bars can vary enormously in terms of essential factors like calories, fat, sugars, additives, and other ingredients. If you don't read labels carefully, you may find yourself downing something more akin to a candy bar than to a genuinely nutritious and protein-packed snack. The protein in bars typically comes from dairy or plant sources. The most common are whey, soy, eggs, milk, rice, peas, and hemp. Soulwell protein bars contain a combination of concentrated whey protein powder, casein, and whey isolated protein powder.
蛋白質是一種必不可少的大量營養元素，有助於增強肌肉，修復組織以及酶和激素的製造。補充蛋白質還可以幫助減輕體重，從而幫助人們鍛鍊肌肉。蛋白棒的創造是為了向你提供一種更加方便，富含蛋白質的食物，以補充你的常規飲食。 在卡路裡，脂肪，糖，添加劑和其他成分等基本因素方面不同的情況下，不同蛋白棒種類之間的差別可能會很大。如果不仔細閱讀標籤，你可能會發現自己吃到肚子裡的東西更多類似於糖果棒，而不是真正營養豐富且富含蛋白質的食物。蛋白棒中的蛋白質通常來自乳製品或植物來源。最常見的是乳清，大豆，雞蛋，牛奶，大米，豌豆和大麻。Soulwell蛋白棒包含濃縮乳清蛋白粉，酪蛋白和乳清分離蛋白粉的組合。
#1. How/When should I eat protein bars? 我應該怎樣/何時吃蛋白棒呢？
There are plenty of ways that you can include soulwell protein bars in your diet. It all depends on your goals and specific purpose. Our bars can be consumed either as:
· A regular between-meal snack: Eating snack-size protein bars can help reduce overeating between meals.
· As a grab-and-go option when you don't have time for a full meal: protein bars have the advantage of convenience. They are small and can be consumed quickly by active people or professionals. You may combine a soulwell protein bar with yogurt and fruits as your quick-start meal of the day.
· As a part of a weight-loss diet: high protein diets support healthy weight loss to a greater extent. This is likely due to the filling effects of protein, which can curb your appetite and help prevent overeating (1).
· As a pre or post-exercise refuel: supplying your body with necessary nutrients can help you get the most from your workout. A protein bar consumed before exercising supplies you with steady energy during your activity. It also offers benefits after your training.
· As a supplementation of collagen peptides: check out our previous article to learn more about the benefits of collagen peptides.
你可以通過多種方式在你的日常飲食中添加soulwell的蛋白棒。這完全取決於你的目標和目的。具體可以通過以下方式：
• 定期的餐間零食：吃一支零食大小的蛋白棒可以幫助減少兩餐之間的暴飲暴食。
• 當你沒有時間吃飽飯時，這是一種即取即走的選擇：蛋白棒具有便利的優勢，加上它們體積很小，運動的人或專業人士可以快速食用。你可以將soulwell的蛋白棒與酸奶和水果結合起來，作為你一天的快速入門餐。
• 作為減肥飲食的一部分：高蛋白飲食在更大程度上大大有利於健康減肥。這是由於蛋白質的填充作用，可以抑制食慾並幫助防止暴飲暴食（1）。
• 做運動前或運動後的能量補充：為身體提供必要的營養可以幫助你從鍛鍊中獲得最大收益。運動前消耗的蛋白棒可在運動期間為你提供穩定的能量。訓練後也會提供好處。

02. Why should I eat protein bars? 我什麼要吃蛋白棒？
Always remember, a balanced diet composed of protein-rich food is essential. However, protein bars are an alternative to achieve your daily intake of protein. The protein bar is just one option that has several dietary and lifestyle benefits. Protein is one of the building blocks of bone, muscle, and skin, and here are some of the benefits of eating soulwell protein bars:
永遠記住，富含蛋白質的食物組成的均衡飲食是至關重要的。然而，蛋白棒是你每天攝入蛋白質的替代方法，吃蛋白棒只是給飲食和生活方式帶來益處的其中一種選擇。蛋白質是骨骼，肌肉和皮膚的組成部分之一，以下是食用soulwell蛋白質棒的一些好處：
· Weight management: Eating protein-rich foods and adding protein bars to our diet may help people feel fuller for longer. Feeling full tends to result in smaller portion sizes and less frequent snacking, which can help a person maintain a healthy weight or lose weight if necessary (2).
· Muscle growth: Protein is essential for muscle growth. Protein supplements significantly help to improve muscle size and strength in healthy adults who perform resistance exercise training. Protein supplementation is equally effective in men and women.
· Recovery after exercise: As well as contributing to muscle growth, protein can help repair damaged muscles and tissues, improve muscle performance and muscle protein synthesis. As a result, people may use protein bars to speed up recovery from muscle soreness after exercise.
· Added nutrition: People who find it challenging to meet their daily protein intake amounts, possibly including some vegans and vegetarians, may find that protein bars offer an easy solution to the problem.
· More energy: Protein is essential for sustaining energy to keep you going all day long. As your body digests protein slowly, it provides the body with a continuous energy supply while it’s digesting. When those hunger pangs hit between meals, or if you』ve just finished exercising, soulwell protein bars can satisfy while also providing quality, nutritious energy that can keep you motivated to stay on track to accomplish your daily tasks.
· Increase calorie burning(3): Protein helps to increase your metabolic rate by preserving lean muscle. It takes more energy to digest protein to digest carbohydrates, which boosts calorie burning. You』ll naturally burn more calories just by eating protein-rich foods. As protein also helps your body build and maintain muscle, you』ll naturally burn more calories with more muscle as well.
• 體重管理：吃富含蛋白質的食物並在我們的飲食中添加蛋白棒可以幫助人們長時間保持飽腹。飽食往往會導致較小的份量和較少零食的攝入，這可以幫助一個人保持健康的體重或在必要時減肥（2）。
• 肌肉生長：蛋白質對於肌肉生長至關重要。蛋白質補充劑可顯著幫助改善進行抵抗運動訓練的健康成年人的肌肉大小和力量。蛋白質補充劑在男人和女人中同等有效。
• 運動後恢復：蛋白質不僅有助於肌肉生長，還可以幫助修復受損的肌肉和組織，改善肌肉性能和肌肉蛋白質合成。由此，人們可以使用蛋白棒來加快運動後肌肉酸痛的恢復。
• 增加營養：發現難以滿足其日常蛋白質攝入量的人們，比如包括一些素食主義者，可能會發現蛋白質棒可以輕鬆解決這一問題。
• 更多能量：蛋白質對於維持能量以保持你整日的健康至關重要。當你的身體緩慢消化蛋白質時，它會在消化過程中為人體提供持續的能量供應。當兩頓飯之間餓了肚子時，或者剛結束運動時，soulwell蛋白棒就可以滿足你的需求- 在提供優質，營養豐富的能量同時，幫助你有力量完成自己的日常任務。
• 增加卡路裡燃燒（3): 蛋白質可通過保持肌肉來幫助提高新陳代謝率。人體消化蛋白質需要比消化碳水化合物更多的能量，這從而增加了卡路裡的燃燒。吃富含蛋白質的食物，自然會燃燒更多的卡路裡。蛋白質還可以幫助你的身體鍛鍊和維持肌肉，因此，肌肉的鍛鍊也會自然而然地會消耗更多的卡路裡。
