Natural whey protein powder is the newest rated superfood of superfoods. I'm sure you've heard this term before but what exactly is a superfood?

A superfood is rich in phytochemicals which are known to help reduce the risk of certains cancers, reduce inflammation, and strengthen your overall immune system by providing your body with essential vitamins and minerals that give your body an overall balance of healthy and boosted energy.

The second reason that natural whey protein powder is an excellent supplement to any diet is because it is rich with CLA, or Conjugated Linoleic Acid. Whoa! Back up. That was too scientific, just tell me what it does right?

Well CLA is really great for decreasing the amount of body fat stored in your body. This means that as you take natural whey protein powder and you get all the essential benefits, you also reduce body fat.

It's important to note that Americans specifically have a lowered their intake of CLA by 65%. So in essence we are are deficient in our diet. The main reason is because the changes in beef and dairy production. Instead of cows grazing on pesticide and chemical free natural grass they do the opposite which gets those toxins into the cows system. And do not be tricked by the clever marketing tactic that meat packers are using now that says, "Vegetarian Fed". Corn is a vegetable but it is very unhealthy for a cow to eat. Make sure your milk and beef are grass fed. Sorry for the tangent...let's get back on track because there is more I need to tell you.

Here is a list of a few benefits that you will gain through eating natural whey protein powder:

-Supports healthy blood sugar levels in your body

-Packed with essential vitamins and minerals

-Enhances Muscle Endurance and Muscle Recovery

-Supports your entire immune system

-Detoxifies your liver

-Loaded with antioxidants which help defeat free radicals

-Known to decrease signs of aging

-It contains Glutathione which is the body's "master antioxidant". And our body is deficient of this since it's only obtained through foods we don't eat like raw meat, raw eggs, and raw dairy.

The great news however is natural whey protein powder is loaded with Glutathione. I know there are tons of natural whey protein powder out there, but there are a few that are truly the best.

WARNING: Not every natural whey protein powder is the same by any means. Some are processed, concentrated, some are isolates, some are heat processed, or cold processed, some are all organic.

The best whey out there is natural, organic, grass fed, and comes from raw milk that is cold processed so that it keeps all of it's beneficial nutrients and enzymes.
