Proteins, also referred to as the "building blocks" of life, are important macronutrients and part of every cell. Proteins are made up of 22 amino acids, of which ten are essential and required daily. According to the Institute of Medicine, the daily protein requirement is around 10 to 35% of your total calorie intake. Stored in organs and muscles, your body requires protein to build tissue and to produce hormones and enzymes. It is therefore essential to consider your source of protein and its potential affects on your body. Your body can obtain protein from animal or plant sources. Animal sources such as meat contain saturated fat. Poultry is a great substitute for red meat and it is significantly lower in saturated fat. Fish is another great way of obtaining your protein and other vital nutrients. However, be cautious of toxins and other pollutants present in fish. Herbalife Formula 1 Shakes are a great way to get the protein your body needs. Just 8 ounces of Herbalife Formula 1 Shake gives 9 grams of protein.

Soybeans seem to be cost effective and a quite popular source of protein. Relative to the benefits of soy, the FDA's health news issued a statement reading, "25 grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of hearth disease." One serving of soy product, for example soy milk, contains 6 grams of protein. Herbalife Formula 1 Shakes contain both soy and whey protein.

A wide variety of soy products are found to be beneficial to your heart and overall health due to its high levels of polyunsaturated fats, fiber and low levels of saturated fat. It is widely accepted as a replacement to animal protein, which is high in saturated fat and cholesterol. Soy also contains estrogenic compounds, genistein and daidzein. Herblife uses soy in the Formula 1 shake because of these widely accepted benefits.

Dietary fiber is critical part of your diet. Fiber offers many health benefits. Dietary fiber also known as roughage can be found mainly in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Dietary fiber is best known for prevention of constipation. Dietary fiber includes plant foods that your body does not digest or absorb. There are two types of fiber:

Insoluble fiber. This fiber speeds up the movement of material through your digestive system and makes the stool softer and bulkier. This can greatly benefit individuals with irregular bowel movements. Good sources of fiber are whole-wheat flour, wheat bran, nuts and many vegetables.

Soluble fiber. This fiber dissolves in water and it can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. Large quantities of soluble fiber are found in oats, peas, beans, apples, citrus fruits, carrots, barley and psyllium.

A high-fiber diet may lower your risk of disorders, such as hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome and the development of small pouches in your colon (diverticular disease). Fiber - mostly soluble fiber - can also reduce blood cholesterol levels and slow the absorption of sugar, which for those with diabetes, can help improve blood sugar levels. High-fiber diets may also reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

A high-fiber diet may also help with weight management. Generally, high-fiber foods involve more chewing time, giving your body time to feel full when you're no longer hungry, so you're less likely to overeat. Also, a high-fiber diet tends to make a meal feel larger and last longer, so you stay full longer. And, high-fiber diets tend to be less "energy dense," which is to say they have fewer calories for the same amount of food.

Several Herbalife products are rich in fiber for weight loss, weight management and digestive health.
