Newest protein products on the market from hydration drinks to powder



PROTEIN is big business. It is in every cell in our bodies, from muscles and hair to skin and nails.

And it helps us feel full, perfect for dieters.

Most women need 45g a day and men 55g. You can get that from meat, fish, eggs, dairy and lentils, but there's a huge market in protein supplements.

More than half of 25 to 34-year-olds eat a protein bar a week and a fifth have one a day.

Jane Atkinson looks at the new products on the market . . .

A READY-MIXED drink, Upbeat Protein Hydration is a clever mix of protein and hydration, which is perfect for when you are working out.

It contains 10g of whey isolate protein, energising B vitamins (B1, B3, B5, B6, B7, 12 and folic acid) and 3,000mg BCAA (which are branched-chain amino acids which help with muscle growth and performance).

The hydration is the main ingredient, which is simply water.

WITH the average person losing five to 15 per cent muscle mass every decade between 50 and 80, Provytl 50+ is targeted at this group.

Combining protein intake with exercise can combat decline in this area.

Each sachet has 15g of whey protein isolate, which contains the nine essential amino acids crucial to building and repairing muscles.

There is also 1g of creatine monohydrate, which helps to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the most basic form of energy in your body's cells.

I love that this is unflavoured so you can put it into a drink, smoothie, scrambled eggs, soup, whatever.

A brilliant idea and it is great that it is all weighed out in a dinky sachet at just 66 calories.

Trial pack, £16.96 for 4 x 18g sachets, a shaker, travel mug, recipe cards and two coasters, provytl.com.

BOXING champ Tyson Fury is a knockout in the ring, on his Netflix series - At Home With The Furys - and now with a new Power Protein Bar from his energy brand Furocity.

I think it's so brilliant I've had to hide away these yummy bars to stop myself from eating them just for the fun of it.

They are the best chocolate protein bars I've ever tried. I find many have a strange aftertaste.

These don't. They just taste like a "normal" chocolate bar.

I tried the Furocity Chocolate Fudge Brownie which is the smoothest layer of fudge, topped with crispy pieces and surrounded by chocolate.

One 60g bar contains a generous 20g of protein, 6.8g fat and 203kcal.

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...

By KIM TONG-HYUNG and HYUNG-JIN KIM (Associated Press) SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected Russia's nuclear-capable bombers, hypersonic missiles and an advanced warship from its Pacific fleet on Saturday as he continued a trip in Russia's Far East that has sparked Western concerns about an arms alliance that could fuel President Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine. After arriving in the city of Artyom by train, Kim traveled to an airport just outside the port city of Vladivostok where Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and other senior military officials gave him an up-close look at Russia's strategic bombers and other warplanes. All the Russian warplanes shown to Kim on Saturday were among the types that have seen active use in the war in Ukraine, including the Tu-160, Tu-95 and Tu-22 bombers that have regularly launched cruise missiles. Shoigu and Lt. Gen. Sergei Kobylash, the commander of the Russian long-range bomber force, explai...
