A major scientific review is challenging the idea that more protein is always better.
The review, led by pathologist and biomedical researcher Dudley Lamming and published in the journal Cell Press Blue, examined more than 350 studies involving humans, mice, insects, yeast, and other organisms.
The review found that eating less protein, or less of certain amino acids that make up protein, may turn on body processes linked to healthier aging, as well as metabolism, the process by which the body turns food and drinks into energy.
Conversely, upping my protein intake at the suggestion of my doctor has led to me being significantly healthier in my late 40s than I was in my 30s
Because you need some protein. So getting the appropriate amount is necessary for health. But the excessive consumption which is recently trending in the US and the rest of the West is not good for anybody but the ocmpanies producing that shit.
I think we need better education on what an appropriate amount is - I live in a fairly hippy world, lots of veggie peeps, and it’s noticeable that you can be eating super-healthily without getting enough protein to keep muscle on as you age, so especially the girls have found that upping their protein intake (consciously and within a decent diet) has made a fair bit of difference. Man cannot live on salad alone, as the prophet said.
I don’t live on salad alone, I have a roommate.
Likely because you had too many carbs in your diet.
North Americans simply eat too much.
I’m in the uk, and was mainly veggie.
It’s not hard to consume high carb veggie diet.
What did you drop? Junk food? There you are.
I didn’t drop anything, I just added more protein-rich foods to my diet, namely fish and chicken. I eat more overall
