Research has shown that eating high BV protein is more likely to contribute to an increase lean body mass than other dietary protein. That’s because high BV protein is incorporated more quickly and more completely into muscle tissue than other dietary protein. Furthermore, a recent Harvard study found that replacing one serving per day of red or processed meat with foods such as nuts, whole grains or dairy was associated with up to a 47% lower risk of having coronary heart disease in men!

Although lists of high BV protein vary, milk (or whey, which is a constituent of milk) is always in the first or second spot.

Oliver’s offers many dishes that include high BV protein, and this week is no exception. I love hot soup in the winter, don’t you? It doesn’t hurt that something warm and delicious can also build muscle and decrease heart disease too! Come and warm up with a hot, creamy bowl of nutritious Cream of Potato Soup all this week at Oliver’s!
