Protein Overload: Signs You're Having Too Much Protein and How to Fix It


Protein 

More than half the population is overeating protein! 

you only need 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day 


What is protein good for?

Protein is essential for tissue growth and repair digestion, metabolism, and the production of antibodies to fight off those horrible infections. 

Of the 22 amino acids in the body, the body can make 13 and the other 9 essential amino acids must be supplied by the diet. 


Examples of meals you could eat to get your complete essential amino acid supply are: 

- rice and beans 

- tacos with beans 

- tofu with rice 

- barely and lentils

- pasta with beans


Protein to help with heart disease 

The only diet,  to date, that has been scientifically proven to reverse heart disease is a whole food, plant-based diet low in fat and refined carbs. 

in a study of over 130 000 men and women, animal protein intake was associated with higher premature mortality from all causes,


Plant protein however was associated with lower mortality. 

another study high in animal protein was associated with:

-75% increase in overall mortality 

- 400% increase in cancer deaths 

- 500% increase in type 2 diabetes 


whereas a diet of plant-based proteins had a reduced risk in all 3 categories.
