hello dr. Berg here in this video we’re

going to share with you some data on

protein there’s nine points I want to

bring up starting with digestibility a

lot of times people when they get older

they can’t digest red meat like they

used to

okay why is that because the collagen in

the red meat is actually more plentiful

than in white meat and so when they

start to consume it it becomes more

difficult to digest they get indigestion

and it doesn’t seem to process that well

okay so that’s a factor so you maybe you

can’t consume that much if that’s the

case you can either you know you do a

different type of protein or you can add

more Petain how to chloride or apple

cider vinegar to make your stomach acids

more acidic because it’s really the acid

pH that helps activate the enzymes for

protein in the stomach that allow you to

digest the collagen that you need for

your joints and ligaments and tendons so

rather than not consumers need and you

know be lacking that collagen absorption

why not just get your stomach really

strong as you age in the 40s 50s and 60s

you start losing your stomach acids and

that’s the problem that most people have

especially if you’re taking any acids or

you’re taking any type of medication

that it gets rid of stomach acid okay

so and then also lean vs. fatty protein

believe it or not it’s easier to digest

fatty or protein than lean protein like

if you did whey protein powder versus a

fatty hamburger not with the bun but

just regular hamburger the fatty

hamburger is much easier to digest with

her or not so apparently in mother

nature’s design protein always come with

fat you never see just lean protein in

nature so just consume it as its whole

form not some lean anything or low-fat

anything sometimes people have an

allergy to seafood so that would be an

allergy so you’re not going to digest it

you’re going to react to it you’re going

to reject it or like camp

protein powder when I consume that my

body just cannot digest that so that

would be the source of protein but I can

digest it bloats me or let’s say you’re

allergic to casein

Milk Protein you’re going to of course

you can’t digest it or peanuts so you

can’t digest the protein and peanuts

so that would be a digestive factor to

look at okay number two stress in the

adrenals the more stress you experience

the more the adrenals are active the

more cortisol is going to be released

and we have more cortisol you get more

of a catabolic

effect that’s a more of a breakdown

effect so here you have the situation

where you’re breaking down protein

faster that’s building back up so you

didn’t have an accelerated breakdown

process of protein and it’s not coming

back up you’re going to need to consume

a little more protein so that’s why

adrenal cases or adrenal weakness or

adrenal body type cases need more amino

acids or protein than people that don’t

have that problem simply because they

are breaking down more protein than

they’re building back up one point to

consider okay number three the quality

of protein

make sure it’s grass-fed if at all

possible make sure it’s organic without

hormones wild-caught fish nut

farm-raised pasture-raised eggs these

are all real key points of quality

number four insulin so if your insulin

resistance or you’re diabetic you’re not

going to have that little key that opens

the door that allows the amino acids to

go in there so you’re going to be

deficient in proteins that’s why a lot

of times it’s hard to get toned or you

might have loose collagen or hanging

tissue from your body so you’re going to

need a little bit more amino acid but

the main thing you’re going to need to

do is fix the problem with insulin I

have tons of videos on that because even

consuming more protein is not going to

fix it okay it’s just one factor to

consider next one is number five is the

protein complete if you’re a vegan

you’re going to have to combine

different foods to get your complete

protein profile but eggs have a complete

protein profile animal products do as

well but eggs are really good for a

complete protein all right next one is

number six the amount of protein make

sure it’s not excessive don’t do this

massive amount of protein that is like

10 12 14

I’ll stake that thing do between three

to six ounces that’s all your body needs

anything more it’s going to strain the

liver it’s important now let’s talk

about a growth hormone growth hormone

interacts with protein in that it helps

spare proteins in other words it

prevents muscle loss so when you

stimulate growth hormone it helps to

preserve your own muscle protein in your

own collagen all the protein on your

body so that would be in a minute of

fasting so by not eating for a period of

time you actually spike growth hormone

by 2,000 percent and preserve your

muscle protein so you’ll prevent muscle

loss and other protein proteins as well

so this is important intense exercise

will help you good sleep will help you

as well those are the main things with

that now cook versus raw the more cooked

a protein product is the worse it is so

if you’re having a steak have it more

rare than overly cooked very important

with this to actually get more amino

acid absorption okay stomach pH very

common problem if you are getting older

or you had a history of indigestion or

even heartburn or acid reflux that means

you don’t have enough acid and that’s

why I recommend apple cider vinegar with

each meal or you can get them in tablets

and that will start building up your ph

to allow you to digest and assimilate

more of this protein so those are the

nine factors of protein make mental note

of it thanks for watching hey you
