ASU Reacts: Whey Protein


Whey protein is something in today’s world that is very commonly known and the article I talked about last week didn’t really bring up an argument but it brought up a very good point, which is that whey protein is not just for athletes it can be for anyone who wants to use it as a meal replacement. Contrary to popular belief protein shakes are a great meal replacement because they provide the obvious which is protein but it also comes packed with vitamins with a low concentration of sodium and sugars so it is a healthy replacement.
                I asked my friend Nicole about what she thought about this information and this is what she told me…
                “Protein shakes are something I never thought I could drink. At my high school I always saw the football players drinking them so I thought they were used to get bigger. With the information I just read and from what you told me about protein shakes I might start to drink them because it’s healthier than fast food, plus it’s more convenient. Also as a girl sometimes I don’t eat enough food to have a well-balanced diet and a protein shake may help me out with that.”
                From her reaction it is easy to tell that she was shocked about the information she just read but at the end of the day it is still a great meal replacement for anyone. There are also still specific types of protein for athletes which can get them the results they want, but as for simple whey protein, that can be taken by anyone.
