* Complementary proteins are two or more incomplete protein sources, which together provide adequate amounts of all essential amino acids and adequate total protein. It is true that many vegetable sources of protein are not complete, and need to be complemented by other protein sources. A complete protein provides all essential amino acids and sufficient total protein. * An incomplete protein is either low in one or more essential amino acids, or low in total protein. There are eight essential amino acids, and several semi-essential amino acids. But Iâll simply it for you.
Muscle spasms and cramps. Cramps are caused by muscle spasms - involuntary contractions of one or more muscles. They can be painful but are usually harmless. They come on without warning and almost everyone will experience them at one time or another.
With the growing research on cramps, the current theory on what causes them is muscle fatigue and failures in the neural communication pathways. Basically, you train a muscle to contract and the muscle fatigues. It, then, miscommunicates and stays contracted when it shouldnât, causing a cramp.
