Tips to overcome Protein deficiency in your diet

Hello, Today we’ll talk about one of the most important parts of our diet – PROTEINS

Protein deficiency is common in almost all age groups. Earlier protein deficiency was commonly seen in poor people with a lack of nutritious meals. Nowadays we are seeing protein deficiency in the general population too.

Children from wealthy families these days don’t lack food, but they lack nutritious food. Many working professionals do not have warm home-cooked meals regularly.  Most of the food they consume are empty calories, filled with carbohydrates and fats. The concept of a balanced meal is not followed.

Signs of Protein deficiency in children and adults – 

• brittle hair
• brittle nails
• poor skin texture, dry skin, cracked skin
• swelling of legs, abdomen, face, below the eyes.
• low immunity
• recurrent cold and cough
• short height
