Are you getting enough protein with your diet and eating pattern? While you can keep an eye on your calorie, sugar, and salt intake, you also need to make sure you're getting enough protein. It plays a key role in creating and maintaining every cell in our body. Namely, it nourishes our cells and our body, whereby protein is essential for all living organisms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protein comes from a variety of sources, including meat, milk, fish, soy and eggs, as well as beans, legumes and nut butter. When proteins are digested, they leave behind amino acids, which the human body needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Het is belangrijk dat individuen elke dag prote\u00efne consumeren. De dagelijkse eiwitinname speelt een rol bij het in goede conditie houden van jouw cellen en zou deel moeten uitmaken van je dagelijkse onderhoudsplan voor je gezondheid.”<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Eiwit bestaat uit aminozuren, algemeen bekend als de zogenaamde bouwstenen, omdat ze in lange ketens zijn geschakeld. Het wordt ook beschouwd als een “macronutri\u00ebnt”, wat betekent dat je er relatief grote hoeveelheden van nodig hebt om gezond te blijven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you find out that you are not getting enough protein?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One indication that you do not have enough protein in your body is that you are usually hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research shows that foods high in protein are much more satiating than foods that contain large amounts of other nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A high-protein meal will keep hunger at bay for hours compared to a meal consisting mainly of carbohydrates. Another indication is swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to multiple studies, swelling (also called edema) is one of the most common signs that you are not getting enough protein, especially if it affects your abdomen, legs, feet, and hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Een mogelijke verklaring: de eiwitten die in je bloed circuleren – met name albumine – helpen voorkomen dat vocht zich ophoopt in jouw weefsels. Er kunnen echter meerdere oorzaken zijn voor zwelling, dus raadpleeg je arts bij twijfel of wanneer je er overmatig last van hebt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why your body needs protein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Protein is the building blocks of organs, muscles, skin and hormones. Your body needs proteins to maintain and repair tissues. Meanwhile, children need it to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies show that eating protein can also help you lose weight and belly fat, while increasing muscle mass and strength. A high-protein diet can also help lower blood pressure, fight diabetes, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five compelling reasons to make sure you're getting enough protein every day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To build<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage and skin. In fact, your hair and nails are mainly made up of proteins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repair<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your body uses it to build and repair tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxygen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Red blood cells contain a protein compound that carries oxygen around the body. This helps provide your entire body with the nutrients it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

About half of the dietary protein you consume every day goes to making enzymes, which help digest food and make new cells and substances in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Protein plays an important role in hormone regulation, especially during the transformation and development of cells during puberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
