Tag: Protein and heat

According to a study published in the *Journal of Clinical Investigation*, consuming protein can, in some cases, help make you a little warmer through a metabolic process known as thermogenesis. This phenomenon is a key part of understanding which food increases internal body heat, providing a natural way to help you feel cozy and warm from the inside out.

An article in the *Journal of Dairy Research* found that while direct, long-lasting heat can damage amino acid bioavailability, it takes high temperatures for an extended period to significantly degrade protein. This provides some scientific reassurance that you can put protein powder in hot soup, but the real challenge lies in preventing lumps and maintaining a pleasant texture.
