After a long strenuous workout, many of us like to indulge in protein powders, helping us to become strong and fit, however, many of us overindulge. This may lead to your body developing an allergy or intolerance to protein powder. This isn’t good if you are using protein to help reach your personal goals, as you are harming your body.
Yes, if used correctly and your body is tolerant to the ingredients in Protein powders, then they are very beneficial, but do be careful. If you are allergic or intolerant to the protein powder you are using, this can present as an allergy or intolerance.
Manifesting as bloating, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), weight gain, fatigue, skin problems, migraines or joint pain, even a mild food allergy or intolerance to protein powders may have a major impact upon exercise and appearance, as well as a person’s day to day activities. The possibility of a sensitivity to protein types should, therefore, be a high priority for those that take their exercise seriously.
You may not understand that you have an allergy or intolerance to certain items. However, even the mildest food allergy or intolerance can affect the way a person lives their life. If you are looking to live your life to the full and be able to attend events and activities on a daily basis, then an allergy & intolerance test is the way forward.
