My middle child was born and rushed to the newborn intensive care unit (ICU). I was shocked to learn that he was sick. Suddenly, my life was out of control. My husband and I with two full-time careers were dropping our 2-year-old at day care each morning before racing to visit our son at the hospital.

“Let me know what I can do,” many of our loved ones said. Instead of reaching out, I withdrew and struggled to manage everything on my plate. Why did it feel awkward being on the receiving end of assistance?

Being uncomfortable asking for help is an almost universal experience. We may worry about how embarrassing it will be if someone says no. We may also worry about how guilty we will feel if they say yes. “Do you see the person who asks for support as a burden?” I asked my mother. “No, of course not,” she said. “In fact, helping is one of the most rewarding experiences we can have.” Her words resonated(引起共鸣) with me. I was raised to be independent and to help others is something I’ve always enjoyed.

I felt funny relying on people outside my inner circle. I thought leaning on my closest family and friends would be most comfortable, but they lived an hour or more away. Then the favors from others made me feel loved and supported. With them often taking care of meals and other areas of our lives, it was easier to focus and take in news from doctors.

We all wish people could read our minds, know what we need and volunteer it. Actually, they have to understand that we need help, and know what kind you want them to give—that means you really do have to ask. I’m now a pro at asking for help. I don’t only rely on my inner circle. I have a large community of resources—which benefits all of us.

Many people drink protein shakes regularly to lose weight, build muscle or both. Others, however, question the belief that protein shakes are better than normal, high-protein foods. So what is the truth?

Protein shakes are dietary supplements (饮食补充剂) designed to help people consume more protein than they otherwise would. Protein shakes can be ready-made drinks. Besides, people can mix their own shakes using protein powder. Protein powder can be made from plants or animals. Plant-based protein shakes can include soy, pea or rice protein. Animal-based protein powder is usually made from cows’ milk. Those who want to avoid milk can also get protein powder made from egg whites.

Studies indicate that consuming protein shakes is helpful if you want to build muscle. They can also improve your performance and help you recover while exercising. And if you’re losing weight, protein shakes can help to make sure that you don’t lose muscle.

Consuming protein shakes can also help you lose weight. Eating a high-protein diet helps you feel full, so it’s easier to resist eating too much. High-protein diets can also make your body burn energy quickly. When you use more energy than you take in through food, you lose weight.

However, you don’t have to drink protein shakes to have a high-protein diet. Many wholefoods are rich in protein. In fact, the people in many high-protein diet studies didn’t drink protein shakes. The studies proved the benefits of eating protein-rich foods. Moreover, these foods contain other natural nutrients besides protein. In contrast, many protein shakes contain sugar or artificial sweeteners, which are not healthy.

To sum up, yes, protein shakes are convenient and they work. However, they are not your only choice for eating a high-protein diet.
