Until recently, many people were convinced that proteins – or proteins – were mainly for bodybuilders and active athletes, who used them to grow muscles and improve performance. Today, however, they are used in all forms in connection with a healthy lifestyle. Why is protein so trendy?

Proteins are important macronutrients, without exaggeration, indispensable basic building blocks of our body.

They participate in the formation of muscles, bones and individual organs. We can find them in the blood, hair and skin. They are part of enzymes and hormones. They affect our metabolism, digestion, mental activity, breathing and immunity. They help regenerate cells and are a source of energy.

Did you know that we have up to one hundred thousand different types of proteins in our body?

A balanced intake of proteins therefore affects our health and daily functioning, but also longevity and quality of life, not only in old age. How?

Protein helps maintain muscle mass  

Protein builds muscle, but it also maintains it. As we age, muscle mass naturally decreases, and it is precisely enough protein in combination with adequate physical activity that helps maintain muscles, their strength and functionality. So we welcome each passing year in good shape, and we also reduce the risk of falls and fractures.

Amino acids support cell regeneration

Proteins and their amino acid components are essential for tissue repair, including skin, hair, muscles and organs. A protein drink or protein bar after training will accelerate regeneration.. And long-term, balanced protein intake allows for regular “repairs”, thereby protecting against premature aging and ensuring a youthful appearance and vitality.

Enough protein brings a slim figure

We burn more energy to digest proteins than fats and carbohydrates. Amino acids also support the efficiency of metabolism. Protein intake helps maintain a healthy weight and prevent obesity. And also related diseases of civilization that shorten our lives or reduce its quality.

Protein strengthens immunity

The immune system needs protein to produce antibodies and enzymes. A diet with enough protein can therefore help fight infections and inflammations that limit us in everyday life and, as a result, contribute to the aging of the body.

Protein sharpens the brain and improves mood

Amino acids affect brain performance, thinking and mental activity. And also the production of hormones that affect our psychological state or sleep quality. By consuming protein, you will support mental freshness at any age.

How to ensure enough protein in your diet?

The daily recommended dose of protein varies depending on age, gender, activity and health status. Active individuals and athletes need more protein than people with a sedentary lifestyle. It is also important to increase protein intake as you get older. Since the body does not store protein, it is advisable to distribute it evenly throughout the day.

Animal products such as lean meat, eggs and dairy products are sources of protein. Vegetable proteins are largely supplied by legumes, soy products (tofu, tempeh), nuts, seeds and some cereals (quinoa, oatmeal). Those who do not get enough from food can take protein supplements.

However, it is equally important to always find a balance between the quantity and quality of proteins and combine them with an overall healthy lifestyle – a balanced diet, enough exercise, sleep and mental well-being.
