Hemp protein for strengthening the body

Author: Ondrej Stovicek

Hemp protein is obtained by grinding the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant, also known as industrial hemp. It contains no THC and therefore has no psychoactive or other undesirable effects. On the contrary, hemp protein should become a part of your diet, especially during the pre-winter period when it is essential to support the immune system and strengthen the body for better resilience.

Hemp protein contains a small amount of fat (12%) and a high proportion of protein—up to 50%, which is more than, for example, in beef, which contains about 30% protein. It includes all 23 amino acids, including 8 essential ones, which are vital for the human body.

Thanks to its excellent nutritional values, hemp protein is ideal not only for athletes and people performing heavy physical work but also as an excellent source of protein for children and anyone who follows a healthy lifestyle and values high-quality food.

The fact that hemp protein is a purely plant-based product will surely please vegetarians and vegans. For these groups, hemp protein can be a great way to supplement essential nutrients. A good piece of news for celiacs is that it is gluten-free and can enrich their diet.

Hemp protein contains an optimal amount of omega-3 and omega-6 unsaturated fatty acids and a high proportion of antioxidants (tocopherols, tocotrienols, and chlorophyll). It thus contributes to cleansing the body and strengthening the entire immune system. As a result, it serves as excellent prevention against many common illnesses.

It also contains essential minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, and sodium. Digestible fiber, which makes up about 20% of the protein, helps prolong the feeling of fullness, making it a suitable supplement for weight-loss diets or detox programs.

You can add hemp protein to smoothies, mix it with juice or water.

It is also excellent for preparing breakfast, such as in porridge or yogurt, or you can mix it into regular meals according to your taste.
