Protein is something extremely important for the well – being the body. If you do not have enough protein in your body, then it might create several problems for you in the long term. There are a plenty of options for people to include protein in their diet through animal products, grains, nuts, seeds, soy products and many more.
However, if you don’t consume these products the necessary protein required by your body will not reach it. This will lead to protein deficiency. If you are also someone with protein deficiency, then it is necessary to take certain measures immediately. However, if you are not sure that your body is getting enough protein or not, then we are here to tell you about some visible signs and symptoms of protein deficiency.
Increased hunger
Just like vehicles, a body also needs fuel to function and the most important fuel for the body is protein but if your protein intake is low and there is a deficiency of protein in your body, then the body will turn towards other sources to compensate for that deficiency. This will result in increased hunger, thus forcing you to eat unhealthier and junk food to curb your hunger. This will lead to several problems like weight gain, obesity and many more.
Brittle Hair And Nails
Protein is essential for the healthy growth of your hair and nails, therefore, if the body is not getting adequate amount of protein, then your hair and nails will also start to look brittle. You might start to lose your hair along with losing the lustrous shine and volume of your hair.
Wrinkles
As your internal body needs protein to be healthy and function properly, similarly your skin also need protein to remain healthy. If your skin doesn’t get enough protein, then it will start to lose the softness and its plump texture. Also, wrinkles will start to show on your skin and you might feel that you are getting old before age.
You Feel Weak
People who are low on protein might feel tired and fatigued more as compared to others. This is because protein is a component of hemoglobin which is resent in our red blood cells. Therefore, it is important to transport oxygen to all the parts of our body but if the oxygen is in low levels, then it is possible feel weaker.
Weak Bones
We all know that our body requires calcium to be strong, however, it also requires protein in adequate amount. It was found in a research in 2018 that protein – rich diet can help to protect our bones.
When we don’t get enough protein for our body and brains, then these borrow it from other parts of the body including the storage in our skeleton muscles. Without strong skeleton muscle tissue, our bones start to feel weak and we are more prone to injuries like fracture and breaks.
