Protinex :Is it a good Protein Source?

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on February 19, 2018

When children are growing up, the right amount of protein is needed to help them grow. Growth spurts, pregnancy, old age, you, me, everyone needs protein. All, your cells are made up of proteins. In fact, proteins are the building blocks of cells. This is where Protinex lends a helping hand.

In this post

What is Protinex ? Is Protinex a good source of protein?

How exactly does hydrolyzed protein help you?

Can you take Protinex after a workout?

Does Protinex increase weight?

What is a Protein calculator?

Can you get your daily requirement of protein from food?

What exactly is Protinex and how do you include it in your diet?

5 steps to improve protein intake

Important things you should know

What is Protinex ? Is Protinex a good source of protein?

Protinex is a protein powder, often recommended during times of nutritional deficiency. It has a good amount of protein in one scoop and is a trusted source of protein.

- Proteinex has soy protein isolate and should only be taken under a medical prescription during physiological or pathological need
- The hydrolyzed protein in Protinex makes digestion and absorption easy.
- It is hydrolyzed protein-containing di, tri, and polypeptides which are predigested proteins.

How exactly does hydrolyzed protein help you?

Since these are already partially digested and broken down into simpler protein blocks, the absorption and utilization in your cells are quicker and more efficient. But be careful, this is not for everyone. If you are already overweight, have a blood sugar problem or deranged lipid profile or any of the risk factors for Metabolic syndrome consult your doctor before adding anything tto your diet.

Can you take Protinex after a workout?

Yes, you can. Hydrolyzed protein is great post work out to avoid muscle breakdown. But since it has soy protein you must consult your doctor about it. It can cause hormonal disruptions if taken without proper precautions. You can also take your eggs.

Does Protinex increase weight?

It’s a good way to improve the protein intake in people recovering from illness, surgery. It improves health and may increase weight, depending on your overall activity level. It’s great for infants, children, during pregnancy, lactation, and the elderly. I don’t recommend this without an underlying cause for simple protein requirements.

What is a Protein calculator?

Protein calculator is an interesting online app that will help you access your protein intake and correct deficiencies if any.

Ideally, you need to have 0.7gram up to 1 gram of protein per kg per day.But this needs to be adjusted according to your age, gender, physiological states like a growth spurt, pregnancy, breastfeeding, disease states, nature of daily activity and activity level.

So that makes planning a diet challenge. You need to have protein with all your meals.But what if you are busy and can’t always manage a balanced meal .That’s when Protinex can help you.Just find out from the calculator about any deficiency you may have, then supplement it.

Protinex: All that you wanted to know (Image source:Fashionablefoodz.com)

Can you get your daily requirement of protein from food?

Yes, you can. But it needs a diet rich in animal protein with every meal. Fish, chicken, eggs, and milk needs to be part of your diet in the correct portions. Plant proteins are not complete proteins .Soy protein isolates

Read Soybean: Good Bad and Ugly

The problem is with the very busy schedules you lose the determination to plan your meals.This is when Protinex helps.

What exactly is Protinex and how do you include it in your diet?

Protinex is a powder.
You need to take it mixed with milk.
Since its predigested or hydrolyzed protein, it gets absorbed quickly and helps revitalize your cells easily.
Protinex is a complete protein source having all essential amino acids.
Since its hydrolyzed protein it acts quickly and ensures your body does not suffer from protein deficiency.
You can include it as a post-exercise drink for yourself and post playtime drink for your children.
The Protinex bytes are protein biscuits and are pleasantly vanilla flavored and are great for giving as snacks to kids In their growing age we often worry about how to give enough protein. These biscuits help me keep up with my daughters daily protein need and avoid unhealthy snacking.

The range of flavors like tasty chocolate. Elaichi, vanilla and the original Protinex are trusted for its excellent quality. A brand recognized for over 50 years presents you with a simple Protein calculator to help you be healthy every day.

5 steps to improve protein intake

1)Check my Protein Calculator

2)Input your daily meal data.

3)They will give you a score depending on which you will know regarding deficiency if any.

4)Find how you can improve your daily protein intake.

5)Shop for your weekly food carefully. Makeup your deficiency with a good quality protein in diet or consider a supplement like Protinex after talking to your doctor.

Important things you should know about protein

Vegetarian sources of protein are deficient in essential amino acids. They are thus incomplete proteins.
Pulses and vegetable proteins lack essential amino acids.
Animal proteins are complete proteins. Eggs, fish, meat, chicken are complete proteins. Protinex is a complete protein source too.
Pregnant mothers and lactating mother are helped by a good supplement like Mama Protinex to meet their complete daily protein requirement.
Growing children need a protein-rich diet to help with their complete growth. Adding protein to each of their meals will help improve their performance at academic as well as extracurricular level.
The right kind of protein in your diet will help keep your immunity and your family’sdisease-fightingg ability intact.
Proteins are a part of the body’s enzymes, hormones, skin, hair and in fact each and every cell of your body.

At the Protinex Event

Joining hands with Danone India, Protinex launched a protein calculator at an event on 15th February 2018.

Our U19 Champion captain Prithvi Shaw unveiled the Protein calculator.

Interesting facts which I learned at the event

The recent IMRB survey has found 73% of the Urban population are protein deficient. Lucknow is most deficient(90%) and Kolkata least deficient.

Mr.Himanshu Bakshi Danone IndiaDirector-Marketing,, mentioned that 93% of Indians are unaware of their protein need and intake.

Protein in your diet is very important. ?Ask me why I insist on eggs and fish in my little one’s diet every day?

This is what I tell my daughter

The most important macronutrient which is responsible to make you taller, stronger and sharper is protein.

Healthier mothers and babies:Mommy stay with me

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on February 6, 2018

Healthier mothers and babies is what everyone wants

When me and my sister where babies ,we grew up in daycare .Both of our parents worked and there was nobody to take care at home.

Mommy stay with me:Maternal seperation and baby health

Back then government didn’t give mother’s childcare leave.

Looking back ,my memories say growing up days were fun. No really horrible memories.Back then we missed our mom, but there was nothing she could do.We needed the money.

Fast forward to today.I am luckier.I didn’t have a full time job when my baby was born.And now my work has flexible timing and a better government policy of childcare, supporting it.

But even then I worry .When I have to take leave suddenly due to baby issues.It always sounds like an excuse.But all moms know, the most difficult thing in this world is to walk away from teary eyed little ones.

But the question is no longer just the babies immediate health.Your decision will change a little person’s life.

Baby’s health and mothers health are important parameters of health standards and improvement.

Government has expensive projects in place to make healthier mothers and babies.

But still we are haunted by the increasing number of mental and physical lifestyle diseases.

A few things are different for different socio economic classes.

India’s uncontrolled population explosion ,lack of strict birth control makes good healthcare facilities ,adequate nutrition, difficult for the large majority below the poverty level.Their problem has no solution ,till the people in charge understand that limited resources , and unlimited babies make for impossible situations.They make gullible votebanks ,but unproductive citizens

In a country where survival of babies is often the primary question,few have time to worry about their future physical and mental health.

But if you want a better tomorrow for your baby you may need to plan your today well.

What research says?

Healthy mothers have healthy babies.What you think too can affect your baby
Mothers nutrition and child’s nutrition both are important.Nutrition has a large role .Both undernutrition and over nutrition will cause malnutrition.There’s malnutrition of obesity to watch out for.
Stress levels during pregnancy can alter the stress response in the unborn child.
Childhood stresses can cause lifetime harm ,both psychologically and physically.

Your physical and mental health has a lot to do with your childhood.

Yes you already know this.

But did you know most of your adult diseases ,can be traced back to childhood?

Mother’s will sigh in exasperation. What else are we suppose to take care of?

Just blaming childhood stresses ,is but oversimplification.

The various researches show a 2 ‘HIT'(3) theory.

1st hit is a stressors in childhood .This cause changes at the cellular level and in your brain wiring.Your adaptation is good ,average or poor,

Presence or absence of a similarly potent stressor later .A cascade of neurochemical,neurohormonal, over -reaction.Because your brain is already sensitized you go into protective mode.

Result:

Metabolic diseases and mental health problems.

That’s scary ,but I am hopeful

Because this is good research .

Why You ask?

Someone is finally talking about it.Maybe things will change

Government of Italy has declared 22nd September “Fertility Day”.They want to encourage women to have children.They have a declining childbirth rate ,and an economic slump.But the Government gives inadequate support to working mothers and most private companies don’t have flexibility for working moms.

The research findings can help .A lot.

To help moms stand up for “work from home” policy.
To take jobs with flexible work hours.
To not have to explain why they want to be with their babies and compromise the career ladder.
For child right biggies to keep in mind ,for future recommendations and actions.
For corporations to take Corporate social responsibility to another level

Plus you are at risk, only if you face another episode of high chronic stress.So actively try to decrease stress
Teach children to cope positively with it.

Another good news is, since you know this ,you can have lifestyle habits in place to deal with it.

Yes you can beat the childhood

scars by practicing healthy lifestyle .

There’s a lot of science backing this up.Many studies has been done including one at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai .

What can this stress triggers do?

Obesity(2)
Diabetes
Hypertension
Metabolic dysfunction(3)
Hyperlipidemia
Muscle wasting disease
Depression

How does this happen?

Sress in early childhood causes change in muscle mitochondria.

(Mitochondria are the cellular organelles which help you generate ATP as energy currency for your body.)

Hypothalamic pituitary axis which controls stress has an altered response (3).

Stressors removed .Normal growth pattern.

Re-exposure to similar stressors later in life:Metabolic dysfunction ,physiological and emotional distress.

What are the early life stressors that can cause this?

Prenatal postnatal early childhood ,adolescent period are all susceptible.

Stressors may be:

Nutritional
Emotional
Physical
Sexual.

They may present as:

Starvation during famine and war

Maternal separation
Childhood neglect
Adverse parenting
Childhood physical or sexual abuse
Medical trauma

These stressors can alter the stress adaptation responses.

They are major risk factors for developing metabolic disorders (1)

With improved environment children can adapt themselves to these stressors .Growing up,they will be externally normal.But since these cellular changes have happened ,if exposed to chronic stress in later life ,metabolic and psychological problems can be precipitated .

Why does this happen?

Childhood stress reprograms your HPA axis (3)and your brain in general .

Some people adapt well due to good environment follow primary stress exposure.

But others may have maladaptive responses.This can cause inappropriately high levels of cortisol in your blood during exposure to chronic stress as adults.

The pancreatic B cells may be lower in number following childhood stress adaptation.

What this means ?

If you face high level of chronic stress later in life your brain and hormones can over react.

Putting you at risk of obesity diabetes, hypertension and depression-anxiety disorders.(4)

Maternal separation during early life disturbs neuroendocrine, neurochemicals and behavioral changes in adults.

Maternal seperation can be variable .From 40 minutes to 8 hours.Which period will be traumatic for the child is difficult to predict.

Abuse in childhood and adolescence ,can cause type 2 diabetes,food addiction and significantly heavier adult women(6).

What can you do to protect yourself & your child?

Don’t worry during pregnancy.

Ear Problems:Health Query

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on February 6, 2018

In my weekly health query post I will be discussing some very common ear problems.

Read on. Information is power. Never know whom you will be helping.

#1 Health Query

Does my 2-month-old baby have a pin pint hole in front of her Right ear? Do I need to worry?

The ear develops from the joining of six tissue heaps known as hillocks of His.

When there’s a problem in their fusion, you can have pit-like depressions in front of the pinna. This is most common above the level of the tragus (small projection in the front part of the ear).This is called pre-auricular sinus .

How common is this?

It occurs in 5 to 6 babies per 1000.

One side or both sides?

25% to 50% it’s bilateral.

Bilateral has a genetic link.

What you should watch out for?

Infections are common.

Respond to oral antibiotics and local treatment.

Recurrent infection is an indication of surgical resection.

Incision and drainage during infections should be avoided. Scarring and fibrosis makes future surgery difficult.

Isolated pre -auricular sinus infrequently associated with:

Hearing loss
Renal abnormalities
Craniofacial deformities

Audiological testing is important to rule out hearing problems.

Renal USG can be performed if the pre-auricular sinus is associated with:

Other facial dysmorphic features
Family history of hearing loss
Maternal diabetes during pregnancy

# Healthy query 2

I have yellowish fluid coming out of my ear.What can it be?

What are the causes of ear discharge?

Ear discharge occurs when infections in various parts of the ear cause secretions .

Causes:

*Otitis externa : Infection involving external ear.

Furuncle/boil

Otomycosis :fungal infection

*Acute otitis media
Pus gets trapped behind ear drum and the pressure may cause the drum to rupture and pus mixed with blood gets released .

This generally occurs after untreated cold for a period of 5 to 7 days.

Accompanied by fever and earache.
Rupture of ear drum occurs with decrease of pain and pus with bloody discharge.

Chronic otitis media

When ear infection causes persistent discharge for more than 12 weeks.Ear may be discharging for years .

This often presents with ear drum perforation and reduced hearing. .

*Otitis media with effusion

Generally associated with allergic rhinitis ,adenoiditis ,Tonsillitis. In this case a sticky discharge occurs.In aeroplane ear too there may be effusion in the ear causing serious earache due to barotrauma.

*CSF Otorrhoea

Following head injury if the junction between your ear and brain is breached the brain fluid may leak.

Potentially serious condition with a risk of meningitis .

Types of ear discharge:

*Watery:CSF Fluid covering the brain
*Mucoid:Middle ear goblet cells are the source .Indicates ear drum perforation.This is sticky like the goo which comes out of your nose ,when you have a cold.
*Pus:Otitisexterna/furuncle/infected fungal infection ,squamous type of Chronic otitis media.
*Pus+mucus:Infected mucus,indicates ear drum perforation .Chronic otitis media mucosal type when there occurs ear drum perforation.
*Pus+blood:squamous type of Chronic otitis media potentially serious and needs urgent management.

*Pus+mucus+blood.:Chronic otitis media mucosal type with granulation.
Potentially serious and needs urgent management.

What are the important investigations you should do?

*Otoendoscopy :A chance for you to Visualize the inside of your own ear and see the problem.Done by a trained ENT surgeon.

*Pure tone audiometry: PTA helps to assess diminished hearing which can occur due to ear discharge.Prolonged discharge gradually erodes the small bones ,responsible for sound transmission .

*Tympanometry: Ear drum problems like thinned drum,perforated drum is diagnosed . You can also detect fluid behind an intact drum.

*HRCT temporal bone:This is a computed tomography of your ear bone and helps detect ,how far the disease has progressed .Involvement of brain can also be assessed

What are the options for treatment for discharging ear?

Treatment may be:
*Surgical:Chronic Otitis media squamous type( having cholesteatoma and granulations)
*Medical:Acute otitis media,Otomycosis, furuncle of ear.
*Surgical+Medical:Chronic otitis media

What are the other complaints associated with ear discharge?

*Swelling behind the ear : post aural abscess
*Partial or complete loss of hearing.

Earache: more common in acute otitis media, ear furuncle,fungal ear infection.Less common in chronic otitis media. If earache occurs in Chronic otitis media it’s considered a dangerous sign.

*Dizziness

*Ringing sound in ear:Tinnitus

*Acute and chronic mastoiditis

Infection and inflammation of the Mastoid bone.
*Post aural fistula:Opening in the skin behind the ear connecting with the Mastoid bone.(This occurs in Chronic otitis media eroding the bone .)

*Accompanying signs such as fever and headache often indicating potential involvement of the brain.

Meningitis
Brain abscess
Other intracranial complications.

Facial palsy :Disease can cause involvement of the facial nerve.Deviation of mouth,difficulty closing eye,problem with chewing,eating,blowing ,puffing.

Treatment depends on the exact cause

Often ear discharge is a symptom ignored for long.
Avoidance of the problem will put you at risk of serious complications including, permanent hearing loss.

Preschooler with vision problem in India:Secrets no one told you

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on February 6, 2018

Preschoolers with vision problems in India is heartbreakingly common.

The problem is a bigger one than adult myopia because they are unable to tell us.

The symptoms of childhood nearsightedness: When will you suspect?

Sitting close to the television is classic
A frequent headache.
Head tilting to a side.
Performance not up to the mark in school.
Silly mistakes in the classroom.
The child is inattentive in class.
Rubs eyes a lot.
Appears to daydream.
Behavioral issues as a secondary result

Now, what is nearsightedness or Myopia?

When the image of the object occurs in front of the retina and not on the retina, the object appears fuzzy

Suspected reasons for myopia or nearsightedness

Nutrition, growth spurts, heredity, childhood diabetes all may be responsible for myopia.Excessive computer use, total screen time lack of outdoor activity all can be responsible for childhood eye problem.

The child may need her vision assessed every 3 months as growth is associated with changes in power.

Your child has no idea about how things should look.so this condition often goes undetected.After a complete checkup by a doctor get eyeglasses .This is perfect for children to correct myopia.Myopia correction is classically undercorrected and not overcorrected.

Things you should remember if you suspect your child has a vision problem

Do not delay
Believe the child
Go to a qualified specialist
Always review refraction periodically.
Don’t scold the child.
Don’t make him/ her feel self-conscious.
If you do wear glasses do not forget to wear them always or the child will not adjust well.
Do not blame yourself.
Blood work may be needed to rule out any underlying condition like diabetes.In adults, obesity and diabetes are major reasons for fluctuating myopia.

When do children need urgent review by an eye specialist

One or both eyes are abnormal in size.Small or large
One or both eyes appear to stick out

There is a red mark on the eyelid

One or both eyes are obviously abnormal, white in all parts

How to assess vision preliminarily in young child 0 to 1 year?

How does the baby see the things around him /her?
Does she /he make eye contact?
Does your baby follow mother with eyes?
Does baby respond to raised eyebrows?

You must remember

As much as 80 percent of childhood learning is vision based.
Reading difficulties and learning disabilities may have an undiagnosed eye problem as the underlying reason.
It is difficult to diagnose vision problem in young children.
Studies show a higher prevelance of refractive error in school children in urban areas as compared to rural areas.

A correlation has been found with outdoor activity and myopiaIt is said even as little as one hour per day outdoor playtime can decrease the chance of developing myopia.But whether it has any role in progrssion is yet to be determined.

Myopia is a serious problem and by 2050 half of the worlds population are projected to face this problem.If you don’t take care of good eye health now how will you help the next generation?

Take care of your diet, exercise and spend more time with nature, decrease screen time, blink frequently and you have a good chance of beating the odds.
