The Worlds Best Protein Sources


There are a ton of great proteins available and if you ask 10 different people what the BEST source of protein is, you’ll likely get 10 different answers.  But before we talk about the BEST protein sources, why does it even matter? The data continue to mound for the benefits of protein, with the majority now supporting a consistent intake throughout the day whether you’re trying to lose fat or gain muscle.  We’d argue that protein timing, meaning the frequency of intake throughout the day, trumps total protein intake (tweet this).
The majority of people eat very little protein for breakfast and lunch, then load up at dinner.  Instead, a better approach would be to spread that same total amount throughout the day. For example, if someone ate 90 total grams of protein in a day, it would be better to have a few meals with 15-30 grams of protein each than just 1 protein heavy dinner and little throughout the rest of the day. The reason is protein helps fill you, it helps your muscles repair and recover from exercise, and quality proteins, like the worlds best sources of protein listed below, provide the important amino acids we all need to function optimally.
That being said, we now present to you:
1.         Whole eggs.  While these are in no particular order, if there was a #1, whole eggs could arguably top the list.  For the price and quality, it’s hard to find a comparable source of high quality protein out there.  And whole eggs is key - while the whites do have some protein, too, you get even more in the yolk, along with a whole slew of other great for you nutrients. Therefore, we put our vote in for whole Eggs are the world best protein source.
2.         Wild salmon.  Wild salmon is loaded with protein.  With around 7 grams per ounce, it’s fats, which are one of the most important nutrients you should eat more of.  We’ve often said with animal based proteins, the less legs the better - which means fish are at the top of the list.  Yes, yes, octopus and some others are exceptions - in general, stick to that rule of thumb when thinking animal/fish protein. 
3.         Cottage cheese.  This one is super popular in the Mohr House - though Kara took a little longer to come around to it, the protein packed goodness (16 grams for just 1/2 cup) was hard to resist and she’s now a big fan.   I tried something the other day to get away from the basic cottage cheese and fruit - a couple spoonfuls on a Wasa crisp, some cracked black pepper and chopped jalapeno.  Awesome!  It’s a perfect snack ..and if you can’t get over the curds, trying blending it in a smoothie or just blending it with a little fruit.  We’ve even added a spoonful to spaghetti (poor man lasagna), oatmeal, pancake batter.. or, if you’re like me, by the spoonful out of the container.  Mangia! 
4.         Beef.  It’s hard to knock the quality protein in beef.  It’s loaded with quality amino acids (building blocks of protein), zinc, iron, magnesium and plenty of other important nutrients.  Stick with some of the leaner cuts like eye of round roast or steak, sirloin tip side steak, sirloin steak, or flank steaks.  And it doesn’t have to just be a steak or a burger, try making fajitas with beef or top a salad with sliced flank.  It’s good, good stuff.
5.         Greek yogurt.  At around 16 grams per cup, this is a no brainer.  Greek yogurt came fast and furious on the scene in the US - with basically zero percent market share five years ago to almost 50% to date.  And for good reason.  With double the protein of "regular" yogurt and half the sugar, it’s a great choice for a snack or even a meal when you mix something with a bit of substance - nuts, fruit, etc.
6.         Sardines.  We listed these as one of the best foods you're not eating in our blog the other day.  They’re loaded with protein, but also omega-3 fats and vitamin D, yet low in contaminants that unfortunately permeate our seafood today.
7.         Whey protein.  I was told in school that protein supplements created expensive urine.  Good thing I always questioned what I learned because that couldn’t be further from the truth. Whey protein is loaded with amino acids, particularly some key aminos called branched chain amino acids, that may specifically aid in recovery and muscle repair.  But, honestly, while we can talk about the science with whey ’till we’re blue in the head, it comes down to convenience.  Making a smoothie with a little fruit, maybe some veggies and a handful of nuts is a fantastic meal or snack.  It’s quick.  It’s easy.  It’s convenient.  And at around $2 - $3 per 20 grams of protein, it’s high on our list of the best protein sources in the world.
8.         Poultry (chicken, turkey, etc).  Remember from above - the less legs the better?  Well, these buggers have 2 legs each, so they’re high on the list.  We roast a whole chicken at least once per week to have for dinner and have a convenient, quality lunch option for the next day or two.  Short on time?  Pick up an already cooked rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store.  This one is a no brainer.  Same with turkey - don’t just save this one for Thanksgiving Day, we’ll often get a boneless turkey breast at the grocery store and roast that on a Sunday for us and the girls to snack on during the week.
9.         Nuts.  OK, OK, so these aren’t the highest source of amino acids - in fact, they’re a bit limited.  BUT, their convenience helped them make the list of worlds best protein sources.  They’re a perfect snack, portable and not perishable.  That means you can forget about them in your desk, gym bag or locker and when you find them a month later, they’ll still taste fantastic.  They’re also a great source of loads of vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and fiber.  Eat up!
10.        Quinoa.  Another vegetarian based protein, but unlike nuts, this one is a complete protein, meaning it has all the essential amino acids.  SCORE!  WIN if you’re a vegetarian.  WIN if you’re not.  I’d call that a "win win" for packing in a serious nutrient punch.  We made some the other night, in fact - cooked it in chicken broth, added a handful of toasted almond, some fresh herbs and some raisins.  This was a side with chicken breast and some Brussels sprouts.

National Parks Nature .. really beautiful or not?



Many things, that we do not take care about how important forests as national parks for future generations so that they can recognize and learn the natural cycle. The environment is an invaluable gift to the well-being of life. Humans depends on the natural resources of the earth. God has created the universe and to the prosperity munusia balanced. Wide earth turned into human dwellings, mountains as cookers earth, plants as a source of food and medicine to life, as is the wide range of animals and creatures in the ocean. Uncontaminated environment gives us a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. In addition to providing comfort to humans, it is also to some extent be affected by the activities of the development environment in the country if we do not properly cared for.

Clean environment allows us to breathe fresh air. Favors clean air is very valuable to human life. Fresh and clean area is usually filled with green plants. Plants release oxygen into the air and allows our body to get enough oxygen. Air in our environment cleaner and fresher also allows us to enjoy comfort. We would feel comfortable if there is no interference in our environment. Hot and dry weather caused by the temperature rise is inevitable and allow us to live in good weather conditions. Through a fresh and comfortable environment as well, people can do outdoor activities and play without interference can cause musty feeling angry and uncomfortable. The activity of leisure conducted in a clean condition will improve our health.

In addition, planting trees should be well organized from time to time. Planting green plants not only provide a cool and comfortable environment, but also serves to stabilize the temperature of the surroundings. Planting trees is also aimed at reducing the effects of global warming through the absorption of carbon dioxide. Finally, global pemanansan control and will be able to stabilize the ecosystem environment. Care environmental resources such as trees will be able to contain a variety of problems, for example forest soil erosion and flood control. Forests also become one of our country's economy.

Environmental clean setikar also avoid breeding insects that can carry disease. Clean environment to prevent animals such as flies, mosquitoes and rats from breeding and spreading disease to humans, such as malaria, dengue fever, cholera and plague. This situation also protect us from contaminated food by vector-vector of the disease and thus, the problem of food poisoning can be avoided. Disruption of insects in the house can also be avoided if the environment clean. Clean environment to reduce the breeding of insects such as mosquitoes, flies, and other insects that are in the house. Without insects, we can rest comfortably at home at any time. In addition, a clean environment also avoid odor contamination that may interfere with the comfort of our lives.

In addition, water is a natural resource that is very important in human life. Water is needed by the human body so that man could live survive several days without food, water. Our body contains about 70% water. If the loss of water, it will cause us to lose energy. Water is not only important to humans but also to other living things such as animals and plants also need water. Pure and clean water is a generator of life on earth. Because water is an important element in human life, society should join hands in safeguarding and preserving clean water and especially to protect the security environment from any contamination.

Moreover, the environment is guarded by all walks of life could prevent the extinction of animals and plants. Animals and plants are one source of food for the people. Environmental pollution that is done will cause habitat destruction would cause human consumption will be reduced, for example marine life such as shrimp, fish and the like are a source of food containing protein that can stabilize human health. If we do any marine pollution such as dumping toxic waste into the sea, marine life extinction will occur. Meanwhile, plants also become a source for medicines such as herbs for the patient. Uncontaminated environment allows both land and water habitat protected.

In addition, clean environment will improve the economy. A society that is clean and contains the value of peace will be able to attract the attention of foreign tourists. Foreign tourist arrivals in the country will increase the value of foreign exchange, and this will help advance the development of our economy. In addition, tourist arrivals also boost services sector and the business sector as well as offer employment opportunities to the community. With this, our country's image will be enhanced.

In conclusion, the preservation of the earth should be carried out to ensure the supply of food, health resources to produce drugs, it also serves as a source of beauty, the beauty and tranquility as well as clean air. Therefore, all levels of society should cooperate and assist each other in preserving the environment so that the environment can be improved cleanliness in our lives.

The place is always fun Gunung Mulu National Park in Borneo has a cave the largest and most spectacular in the world. Unique cave network under the Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Borneo, holds the record for the largest room (enclosure Sarawak), the greatest of all systems (Clearwater) and widest path (Deer Cave) all chain cave world. Many cave illuminated, and visitors can see a waterfall 180 meters high up in it. Every evening, more than a million bats placed on the cave ceiling, forming a dark cloud impressive.

What is Politics?


On the views and observations that can be interpreted by me is Politics is the art or science of influencing people's beliefs on a civic, or individual level, when there are more than 2 people involved. Modern political discourse focuses on democracy and the relationship between people and politics. The science of government; that part of ethics which has to do with the regulation and government of a nation or state, the preservation of its safety, peace, and prosperity, the defense of its existence and rights against foreign control or conquest, the augmentation of its strength and resources, and the protection of its citizens in their rights, with the preservation and improvement of their morals.

The management of a political party; the conduct and contests of parties with reference to political measures or the administration of public affairs, the advancement of candidates to office, in a bad sense, artful or dishonest management to secure the success of political candidates or parties; political trickery. Political science is the study of governments, public policies and political processes, systems, and political behavior.  Political science subfields include political theory, political philosophy, political ideology,  political economy, policy studies and analysis, comparative politics, international relations, and a host of related fields.  (For a good cross section of the areas of study, see the list of APSA Organized Sections.)  Political scientists use both humanistic and scientific perspectives and tools and a variety of methodological approaches to examine the process, systems, and political dynamics of all countries and regions of the world.

Political science students can gain a versatile set of skills that can be applied in a wide range of exciting careers in federal, state and local governments, law, business, international organizations, nonprofit associations and organizations, campaign management and polling, journalism, precollegiate education, electoral politics, research and university and college teaching. Hopefully all the progress and we have lasting pleasure with the honest and trustworthy leaders to trust people as voters on Election to find a candidate who can actually afford to bring progress and lasting peace without violence and oppression between parties.
