It seems that the anthocyanins they contain prevent the formation of certain prostaglandins that are linked to pain and inflammation, much like aspirin.</p> Thu, 01 Aug 2019 16:00:00 +0000 Shira Cohen, Student Contributor 7842 at /oss /oss/article/general/going-all-whey <p style="text-align:justify">Muscles are made up of proteins which are polymers of amino acids. When you exercise, you burn energy that was stored in your body. If you want to burn fat and not muscle, it is important that you maintain your muscles by supplementing your diet with protein, in order for your body to get the building blocks (the amino acids) it needs. Otherwise, your muscle themselves will be digested as you exercise, thwarting your efforts. Since vegetables contain less protein on a weight per weight basis than meat, one rarely hears of vegetarian body builders.</p> Sun, 10 Sep 2006 17:52:04 +0000 Lauren Lapointe-Shaw, MD, PhD 1566 at /oss
