Protein is synonymous with muscles. Everybody in the gym seems to be taking it. Want 6 packs? Try High protein diet.

But, isn’t it a rule of nature, ‘that anything that accelerates the natural process can be a cause for breakdown too.”

Well, here are some facts collected from the wisdom of expert medical practitioners..

• The decomposition & excretion of high protein diets is accomplished by healthy adult bodies without any alarming side effect
• But, if you have a kidney or Liver disease, then they are not strong enough to get rid of the waste residue of protein metabolism
• High-protein diets may also increase the risk of kidney stones and osteoporosis.
• If you have kidney or liver disease or any chronic health condition, talk to your doctor before starting a new diet.
• Long term, high-protein diets may limit other healthy foods, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables. In addition, many high-protein foods — such as meat, milk, cheese and eggs — are also high in fat and cholesterol, which can increase your risk of heart disease, stroke and other health problems.
• The decomposition of proteins creates amino acid which is used for creating enzymes & other proteins. The excess amino acid is stripped of nitrogen and is utilized as energy or body fuel & the rest is turned into fat.
• The remaining nitrogen is excreted through liver & kidneys. An excess of this nitrogen is what you should be avoiding by taking too much of High Protein diet.

Choose an organic source of protein rather than take pills.

Cheeeeeers & happy living!
