5 reasons to adopt the shake as your well-being ally –

In the rush of everyday life, do you end up giving up a healthy, balanced and, on top of that, delicious food? So it’s time to review your habits, because it is possible that you are prioritizing foods with empty calories, that is, those that are poor in variety and quantity of nutrients and that, on the other hand, offer a high content of fats and sugars. The result is more weight and less health.

Want to invert this equation? A practical and tasty alternative to help lower or maintain the pointer of the scale without harming health are the famous shakes, such as those offered by Herbalife Nutrition, which help to compose a balanced diet of nutrients in your daily life. Founded more than 42 years ago, the company – a leader in weight control and well-being* – has a team of more than 300 scientists involved in the research and development of its shakes and other products of high quality and safety.

Find out here 5 reasons to adopt the drink as your ally to achieve well-being and a healthier lifestyle.

Gives strength and so much in weight control

Hello, hello, summer project! By replacing the shake in two of the main meals of the day, you save calories. That’s because the caloric average of breakfast, lunch or dinner is about 600 calories. When replaced by a shake, you consume approximately 210 calories while still ingesting adequate amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and fibers, in addition to 23 vitamins and minerals important for the proper functioning of the body. That is, the food has a high nutritional density.

Helps to increase muscle mass

Are you sweating the top to conquer a firm and defined body? So, remember that in addition to training – essential, of course – you need a balanced diet, which offers, in the right measure, the amount of proteins involved in the synthesis of muscle mass. And in that sense, once again, the shake is a great ally to help transform your body, and in a healthy way. “That’s because the balanced composition of the shake offers about 19 grams of protein, which contribute to the increase in body mass when it is introduced in up to two snacks of the daily menu”, explains Nataniel Viuniski, nutritionist at the Council for Nutritional Affairs at Herbalife Nutrition from Brazil. To get an idea, each portion of the shake, prepared according to the label, provides approximately 19 g of protein, which is equivalent to 100 g of chicken meat or 90 g of beef, with the difference of having no cholesterol.

Can be combined with other strategies

Shakes can also be great allies as a complement to other nutritional strategies such as intermittent fasting. After a long period of fasting (natural or scheduled), you need to provide energy for the body. The first post-fast meal should include a wide variety of food groups that provide as many nutrients as possible. The Herbalife Nutrition shake is a great option for this moment as it brings together several nutrients in a single preparation in a practical, quick, tasty and calorie-controlled way.

Helps with weight loss and is good for health, yes

A new study published in The Journal of Nutrition indicates that taking a shake as a pre-load before breakfast and lunch can contribute to weight management and offer positive metabolic outcomes in overweight adults.

The research involved the participation of 206 healthy but obese people, divided into two groups. One of them adopted a low-calorie diet, but which included the consumption of a serving of shake 30 minutes before breakfast and lunch. The other group, on the other hand, followed an equally low-calorie diet, but also with a reduction in protein and fiber content. The evaluation, carried out for 12 weeks, revealed that although weight loss occurred in both groups, the regular consumption of shakes resulted in greater weight loss and improvement in lipids (fat molecules) in the blood.

But it never hurts to remember that in addition to the shake, the practice of physical activity and nutritional education are important allies in the journey towards health and well-being.

It is versatile, practical and very tasty.

Very easy to prepare, the Herbalife Nutrition shake is a joker for anyone who wants to maintain a healthy routine. You know that day when you’re overwhelmed, with a thousand meetings and tasks to complete, and zero time to prepare a nutritious meal? The food solves your problem in a short time, and can even be consumed in the shake version, or as an ingredient incorporated in several recipessuch as muffins, waffles and puddings.

And what was already good just got better, since Herbalife Nutrition has just launched the line of vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose-free shakes, which include isolated soy protein, a nutrient of high biological value as the main ingredient, and come in flavors Dulce de leche, Vanilla and Strawberry, in addition to the limited edition Pineapple Frappe flavor. Taking care of health and well-being is even easier and more pleasurable, agree?
