Marielle Segarra: 我最近开始进行力量训练,并且已经感觉到自己变得更强壮了。然而,我也意识到,如果饮食中没有摄入足够的蛋白质,那么肌肉的增长就会变得非常困难。过去,人们普遍认为动物蛋白是增肌的最佳选择,但我了解到,植物蛋白同样可以有效地帮助我们构建肌肉。 Will Stone: 蛋白质对于肌肉的构建和维持至关重要。蛋白质的质量取决于其消化率和氨基酸组成。必需氨基酸是肌肉的组成部分,必须从饮食中获取。虽然传统观念认为动物蛋白优于植物蛋白,但最新的研究表明,只要摄入多样化的植物性食物,就能够获得足够的必需氨基酸,从而达到与动物蛋白相同的增肌效果。例如,豆类、豆腐和藜麦都是非常好的植物蛋白来源。此外,将某些食物搭配在一起,如米饭和豆类,可以获得更全面的氨基酸谱。 Nicholas Bird: (通过Will Stone转述)动物蛋白,尤其是肉类,其蛋白质组成与人体肌肉非常相似,因此被认为是优质的蛋白质来源。动物蛋白含有所有必需氨基酸,并且富含肌肉生长所需的氨基酸。 Benjamin Wall: (通过Will Stone转述)过去的研究主要关注单餐中蛋白质的影响,这导致了人们认为植物蛋白不如动物蛋白的观点。然而,最新的研究表明,长期来看,植物蛋白和动物蛋白在肌肉构建方面的效果并没有显著差异。

Chapters
This chapter explores the science behind muscle building and the role of protein. It introduces the concept of protein quality, amino acids, and essential amino acids, highlighting the traditional belief that animal protein is superior to plant protein for muscle growth. It sets the stage for a discussion on how research is changing our understanding of plant protein's effectiveness.
  • Protein is crucial for muscle growth.
  • Amino acids are the building blocks of muscles.
  • Essential amino acids must be obtained from the diet.
  • Animal protein was traditionally considered superior to plant protein for muscle building due to its amino acid composition.

Shownotes Transcript

It's long been thought that eating protein from animals (eggs, meat, chicken, fish) can help you become stronger. But a new study out of the University of Illinois shows that plant protein is just as effective at building muscle. NPR health correspondent Will Stone explains how the science around plant protein is shifting.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices)NPR Privacy Policy)
