A member asked:
Almost every gym trainer says that we should take protein powder.does consumption of whey protein come with any medical side effects.i am a 20 year old who has bmi of 22.2 but body fat percentage of 25.1% should i take it or should i refrain from it?

Taking protein powders will not do any harm, but if you are eating a balanced diet, you do not need the supplement. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
