In the gym, Mr. Van Thanh (the name of the character has been changed) tells the journey to rediscover his health. According to Mr. Thanh, he has been a gym enthusiast and has experience for more than 10 years. However, when he was 20 years old, he heard the gym brothers talking about the miraculous uses of Dam Whey made his body have the muscular parts like that.
"After nearly 3 consecutive years of drinking whey, my health began to have negative changes such as I was easily bloated, or diarrhea, even gaining weight even though I had an exercise even. I was worried that I should go to the hospital for examination, the result I suffered from stage 2," Thanh shared.
Currently, Thanh has stopped using Whey protein and treated his kidney to recover his body gradually.
According to MSc.BS.CKII Le Thi Dan Thuy - Head of the Department of Hemodialysid kidney, Binh Dan Hospital - said: "Whey protein is a by -products extracted during the production of cheese, very rich in essential amino acids - ingredients that the body cannot synthesize themselves.
Currently, whey is popular in three forms: concentrated whey (70-80% protein, lactose and fat), pure Whey (higher protein, less lactose), and whey hydrolysis (easily absorbed, suitable for people with sensitive digestive system). However, Dr. Thuy emphasized: "Whey protein should only be part of a balanced diet. It is not necessary to see this as a complete alternative to natural food."
The abuse of whey protein, especially when there is no indication of a nutritionist or a doctor, can lead to many consequences. "When loading too much protein, the body must increase activity to metabolize and eliminate excess products, especially the kidneys. This increases the burden on the kidneys and can lead to long -term kidney dysfunction," Dr. Thuy warned.
Some manifestations show that the body is negatively responding to Whey including: bloating, diarrhea, digestive disorders; Skin allergies due to non -tolerant protein from milk; prolonged fatigue, abnormal weight gain; Renal test indicators such as creatinine increased. In particular, people with a history of kidney, liver or antibiotics, Parkinson medicine ... should be avoided using Whey if there is no medical instructions.
Although convenient and nutritious, Whey Protein cannot replace the role of natural food in the daily diet. For poor or weak eating people, the use of whey also needs to consider carefully, especially when the digestive system is weak or there is a background disease. "Whey protein should be considered a supplement, not the main source of nutrition. A diverse diet, full of nutrients is still a long -term health protection foundation," Dr. Thuy said.
The last advice for gymer and sports practitioners is: Use whey in a knowledgeable way. Before adding any functional foods, consult a nutritionist or doctor, avoiding the kidneys to "pay" for mistakes during muscle construction.
