Lack of protein leads to weakened immunity and muscle loss. If protein is not consumed properly, immune cells cannot multiply quickly, making them susceptible to bacteria and viruses. Protein is an essential component of the body, made up of enzymes, muscles, hormones, blood, and more, and is essential for maintaining good health as it acts as an energy source along with three main nutrients.

With age, special attention should be paid to protein intake. Since the muscles begin to decrease from the 30s, from this point it is necessary to consider sarcopenia. Muscopenia is a disease in which muscle mass of skeletal muscles decreases due to a decrease in the number and cross-sectional area of ​​muscle fibers, which may be accompanied by decreased motor function, increased risk of developing chronic diseases, decreased body flexibility and weakened immunity. If muscle mass and function, muscle strength, etc. have decreased, you should suspect sarcopenia. The causes of sarcopenia are initially low protein intake and lack of exercise.

To build immunity and prevent sarcopenia, you need to eat the right amount of protein. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends eating about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. If you weigh 60 kg, you should consume 48 g of protein per day. Protein is not stored in the body when used, but is excreted, so it is important to consume adequate amounts every day.

Animal/Vegetable 5: Contains 5, 9 essential amino acids
Protein can be divided into animals and vegetarians. Animal protein is relatively digestible and absorbed, but fat is consumed together. Vegetable protein, on the other hand, contains a lot of bioactive substances, but contains less important amino acids than animal protein. So, it’s a good idea to eat both proteins in a balanced way. You need to be more careful, especially in old age.

When eating protein, you need to pay more attention to essential amino acids. The essential amino acid content is the criterion for assessing protein quality. Protein quality is determined by the “Amino Acid Grade”, nine essential amino acids produced by the World Health Organization (WHO). In particular, BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids, essential amino acids like leucine, valine, and isoleucine) should be consumed properly. Protein supplements can help you get your protein right.
