The correct way to take protein powder includes brewing with warm water, taking it with meals, and controlling the addition of condiments, etc.
1- Warm water brewing: protein powder contains many active substances, which will lose their activity after being heated and reduce their efficacy. Generally brew with warm water below 40°C, do not boil or drink with boiling water.
2- Take with meals: It is not recommended to take protein powder on an empty stomach, otherwise it will be consumed by the body as heat-producing food, resulting in waste of nutrition. It can be taken with milk, oatmeal and other foods.
3- Control the addition of condiments: When taking protein powder, you can add sugar, salt, etc. according to your own taste, but pay attention to the right amount, so as not to cause body edema and obesity.
In addition, it is necessary to avoid brewing with acidic beverages such as orange juice and apple cider vinegar, otherwise the protein powder may coagulate into lumps, which will affect digestion and absorption.
