Proteins are essential for the growth and repair of tissues. Rich sources include meat, eggs, low-fat dairy, legumes and nuts.
Animal protein from eggs, milk, fish and poultry are complete proteins, which means they contain all th essential amino acids (building blocks of proteins) needed by the body.
Plant proteins from cereals/grains and pulses makes for complete proteins.

Excess protein intake can tilt the pH valance of the body, which can lead to hyperacidity, digestive complaints, muscle pains and strained kidneys and may eventually lead to kidney damage.

Low protein diets may be low on satiety, promote water retention, increase inflammation and cravings and over a long period, can promote weight gain.

How much protein to eat?
1. Aim for 4-6 servings per day of protein-rich foods on most days.
2. Try to consume at least 1-2 servings per day of low fat milk, yogurt or soy milk.
3. A combination of one or more protein-rich foods- pulses, lentils, nuts,lean meats, chicken, fish, eggs- must be a part of your diet.
4. A generous serving of plants will provide
sufficient amount of plant protein.
