Hello vegetarians, pulses to the rescue !!!
Are you a vegetarian person? Trying to increase your muscle mass!!!
Proteins are an important part of a balanced diet for body-building and repair. Along with that we know that protein plays a vital role in our body. Let’s impart healthy food stuffs, which are rich in proteins. For vegetarian people to get protein sources in bulk, they have to include pulses.
Protein is available in a variety of dietary sources. These include foods of animal and plant origins as well as the highly marketed sport supplement industry.
In the following section proteins from pulses will be explored.
When we say about pulses (legumes), so many come to mind as –
Lentils
Green gram
Horse gram
Split peas
Chickpeas
Kidney beans
Navy beans and many more to row,
Determining the effectiveness of a protein is accomplished by determining its quality and digestibility. where,
-Quality refers to the availability of amino acids that it supplies, and
-Digestibility considers how the protein is best utilised.
One who desires to get their protein from vegetable sources (i.e. vegetarian) will need to consume a variety of vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes to ensure consumption of all essential amino acids.
As such, individuals are able to achieve necessary protein requirements without consuming beef, poultry, or dairy.
Points to remember:
Higher protein needs are seen in athletic populations.
Animal proteins are an important source of protein, however potential health concerns do exist from a diet of protein consumed from primarily animal sources.
With a proper combination of sources, vegetable proteins may provide similar benefits as protein from animal sources.
Casein protein supplementation may provide the greatest benefit for increases in protein synthesis for a prolonged duration.
