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 Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state. Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on

33 Crore Gods (Devi / Devtas) of Hindus

33 Crore Gods of Hindus For the believers of God, it is an accepted faith across the globe that God is one. Hindus too believe so, but then there remains a question often shaped as a mockery over Hindus about the various practices of worship rendered to innumerous God in their faith. And this question is often thrown by people, who are philosophically and religiously recognized. How come Hindu religion has 33 crore Gods? Is it sensible at all to believe and practice this? I have a question – How can one decide what is sensible and what is not, particularly when none of those great thinkers have attained perfection in realization of God, none of them have seen God, none of them have heard God. There are numerous instances where religion, religious books and their beliefs have tried to define God. Criticism is an easy thing to do but we have coins with two sides always. Realization of the positive side and its practice is not only hard to recognize but difficult to accept as well. Critic

Osho on Witnessing technique

Osho on Witnessing technique – You can witness breathing, you can witness the thought process in OSHO INSIGHTS ON MEDITATION Osho – Societies will come and go. You will take birth and you will die and many lives will come and go, and many, many clouds will pass through you. But the inner sky – AKSHAT – remains uncorrupted, virgin. But you can become identified with clouds. You can begin to feel that ”I am the clouds”. Everyone is identified with his own thoughts which are nothing more than clouds. You say, ”my thought,” and if someone attacks your thought, you never feel that your thought is being attacked – you are being attacked. The sky is fighting – fighting for clouds because some cloud has been attacked. The sky feels, ”I am attacked!” The sky was there when there was no cloud, the sky will be there when there is no cloud. Clouds add nothing to the sky. And when clouds are no more, nothing is lost. The sky remains itself totally. This is the nature – the inner sky, the inn
