Hi Komal Ma’am,
Are protein supplements safe?
I work out regularly and have been taking them for a while (since I was 16, I am now 24).
Will it harm my health in the long run?
I have worked hard on my body and don’t want to lose my shape.
Thanks,
Sid
Protein supplements are generally whey protein, which is excellent for a high protein uptake post workout.
If you can achieve your protein requirements with natural foods, then it is not necessary to take protein supplements lifelong.
They are advised only in case of a high protein requirement due to HIIT (high intensity interval training workouts) or due to poor protein absorption due to gastric issues or any other illness.
Consistency and compliance, as far as a nutritionally balanced diet and an exercise regimen is concerned, will help you maintain your body shape.
