Weight Management
Worldwide obesity has nearly tripled since 1975 (WHO) and nutrition has a role to play as a solution to combat this.
Overview
Global public health recommendations consistently emphasise the importance of people achieving a healthy body weight.
Recommendations are often based on modifying the diet and increasing physical activity. Proteins provide a proven method to support weight management through stimulating satiety. By promoting satiety with protein, people will feel fuller and are thought to be less likely to over-consume food.
Dairy protein can help support weight and muscle management by providing a high-quality source of satiating protein that can stimulate metabolism, and promote the retention and growth of muscle when consumed alongside an exercise program.
International Diabetes Foundation indicates that pre-diabetes, or impaired blood glucose levels, impact over 300 million globally.
This condition increases the risk of progressing towards Type 2 Diabetes, Protein provides a nutritional proposition to improve blood glucose, through its positive impact on weight management, supporting muscle mass and impacts insulin release which positively impacts blood glucose.
Consuming high-quality dairy protein can help improve blood glucose control and weight management, that helps improve all-round metabolic health.
