PROTEIN IMPORTANCE IN BODY

 Now a days the trend is going on that people are using protein powders to build their body or to increase their stamina but few people are aware about the disadvantages of its over dose.

In this article we will first discuss about the function and advantages of protein in body and later the disadvantages of its over dose.

 IMPORTANCE OF PROTEIN IN HUMAN BODY :-

Excluding water and fat, the entirely  human body is made up of protein. Protein is the main component of muscle, bone, organ, skin and nails. Excluding water the muscles are made up of 80% of protein, making this nutrient very important for the human body.

HOW IS PROTEIN USED IN HUMAN BODY:-

The body break down the protein into amino acid  and absorbs it. It is used to build muscles and organs and to make hormones and antibodies.

HOW MUCH PROTEIN DOES THE BODY NEED:

The daily maximum amount of protein a body should get is 2gms/kg of body weight.Consuming more will not increase synthesis but increase the amount consumed as energy and lead to an increase in body fat. Too much of protein can also burden lever and kidney.

* It is important to adjust the amount of protein you consume everyday.

*If you eat three well balanced meals a day, you should easily be able to acquire the amount of protein your body needs. The important thing is not only how much you eat, but also what you eat and  when you eat it.

CONSUMING PROTEIN AND CARBOHYDRATE TOGETHER:-

When protein is consumed along with carbohydrates (sugar or glucose), blood sugar rises and insulin is produced, promoting amino acid synthesis.
Carbohydrates are also used as the first energy source, preventing the use of amino acids. After exercise, it is a good idea to have something like a jelly drink that allows you to consume both carbohydrates and protein at the same time.

WHEN TO CONSUME PROTEIN:-

It is important to consume protein at the right time. The ideal time to consume it is immediately after exercise.
The body breaks down protein faster immediately following exercise, and also synthesizes it more actively, leading to more amino acids being absorbed into the muscles.

  

OVERDOSE OF PROTEIN:-

Weight gain 

bad breathe 

constipation

Diarrhea

Dehydration

Kidney damage

Increasing cancer risk

Heart disease
