- Proteins are one of the most essential components
required by the human body to perform various
functions. With giving the body energy to perform
different activities, proteins also facilitate
other major functions such as developing and
repairing body tissues, creating hormones. The
human body therefore requires a regular supply of
proteins to function smoothly. This can be
ensured by consuming food rich in these
components which cannot be always possible given
the time constraints that all of us face.
3Pay attention to the symptoms that can arise due
to protein deficiencies
- Edema
- Weight Loss
- Thinning of Brittle Hair
- Pale skin
- Weakness
4How much protein is enough?
- While people generally believe that an athlete
needs more protein than others, this isnt always
right. It depends on an individuals athletic
performance, body weight, workout intensity,
energy intake, age and dietary protein quality. - As per the general rule of thumb, the amount of
protein required is 1.2 to 1.4 g/kg of body
weight for endurance athletes while it is 1.2 to
1.7 g/kg of body weight for strength training and
power athletes. With greater workout duration and
intensity, more protein is required. Around 2
g/kg of body weight helps in the prevention of
muscle loss in athletes with reduced energy
intake. - It was also found that an increase in workouts by
elderly people enhanced the response to protein
intake, which suggests that increased physical
activity may prevent and help recover the loss of
muscle with aging.
