6 Signs You Might Have a Protein Deficiency

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4u-ZSazYfc

It is well known that protein plays a vital role in the functioning of our bodies. Protein is the building block of your muscles, skin, enzymes and hormones, and it plays an essential role in all body tissues. A study says around 1 billion people worldwide are protein deficient. How do you know if you have a protein deficiency? Here are 6 signs you may be protein deficient 1.Skin, and Nail Problems
Protein deficiency often leaves its mark on the skin, hair and nails, which are largely made of protein. A protein deficiency can result in making your nails weak, brittle and in few cases, you will observe white bands and brownish spots on the nails. A protein deficiency can affect the skin as well, as protein enables cell regeneration, produces new cells, and replaces dead ones. If this happens, you will notice your skin feeling dry, flaky and cracked 2.Loss of Muscle Mass
Your muscles are your body’s largest reservoir of protein
When dietary protein is in short supply, the body tends to take protein from skeletal muscles to preserve more important tissues and body functions. As a result, lack of protein leads to muscle wasting over time.
Even moderate protein insufficiency may cause muscle wasting, especially in elderly people.
3.Hair loss
Our hair is made up of 90% protein known as keratin. If you don’t get enough nutrients, your hair may thin and fade in color. This happens because the body stops using protein for non-essential things like hair growth in an effort to preserve it. 4.Sleep deprivation
If you have trouble sleeping or suffer from sleep deprivation, it is likely linked to a protein deficiency. Proteins from the food we eat act as building blocks for tryptophan, an amino acid that causes drowsiness. It indicates that we must eat protein-rich food near bedtime to get better sleep. 5.You’re feeling more anxious and moody
Amino acids are the building blocks for neurotransmitters which control your mood. Proteins help the brain synthesize hormones like dopamine and serotonin that help bring on positive feelings like calm, excitement and positivity.
6.Increased risk of bone fractures
Just like muscles, a low intake of protein can affect the bones as well. Not having enough protein leads to weakening of the bones, thus increasing the risk of bone fractures. This is mostly because “Protein is needed for calcium absorption and helping with bone metabolism How Much Protein Do You Need?
Not everyone has the same protein requirement. It depends on many factors, including body weight, muscle mass, physical activity and age.
Arguably, body weight is the most important determinant of protein requirements. As a result, recommendations are usually presented as grams for each pound or kilogram of body weight.
The recommended daily allowance is 0.4 grams of protein for each pound of body weight (0.8 grams per kg). Scientist estimate this should be enough for most people. Cosmética Natural Málaga Jabones Naturales Málaga
