WHY DO I NEED PROTEIN?
WHAT ARE PROTEINS?
Proteins comprises of amino acid which are vital for metabolism and recovery of a human body. It is an essential component of muscle, skin, hair, hormones, bone development and recovery as well.
DID YOU KNOW?
- As per National Sample Survey, Indians are more than 80% protein deficient. The World Health Organisation recommends that the daily protein intake should account for 10-15% of what an individual eats.
- There are 9 essential amino acids which the body can't synthesize as compared to non-essential amino acid. Its deficiency is found very common in Indian population, which can further lead to digestive issues, decreased immunity and performance.
MYTHS:
Women think that proteins are important for men only
Women's protein intake is very low as compared to men. Whether its weight management, hormonal issues (PCOS), skin (collagen), hair (keratin), bones (low mineral density), as per RDA, women need 0.8g/kg/IBW protein daily
Proteins / Protein supplementation are just for people who are into training
Being an essential macro nutrient, protein requirements start increasing from infancy till geriatric stage as per lifecycle. Infancy, Lactation, Pregnancy are the critical phases where protein requirements double up
Protein powders lead to weight gain
Protein powder alone cannot lead to weight gain. The type of protein consumed, putting on muscles while on strength / weight training, consuming more protein intake without gaining fat would lead to lean muscle. These are few reasons which can lead to muscle gain.
