HOW TO KNOW HOW MUCH PROTEIN YOUR BODY NEEDS
The recommended daily protein intake for an average person with a sedentary lifestyle is 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight. For those who exercise regularly but not intensively, an intake between 1.2 and 1.6 g per kilogram of body weight per day is advised. However, athletes and individuals who train intensely are recommended to consume between 1.6 and 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight due to increased needs for muscle recovery and prevention of muscle loss. As we age, there is a natural loss of muscle mass, so a protein intake of 1.2 to 2 grams per kilogram of body weight is recommended to preserve muscle mass and the body’s functional capacity.
PROTEIN SOURCES
Protein intake doesn't have to come only from animal sources such as meat, fish, eggs, or dairy products. Plant-based sources like legumes, quinoa, tofu, seitan, nuts, and seeds can also be excellent sources of protein — which is especially important for people who do not consume meat or dairy products.
The Non-Invasive Liposuction treatment is intended for individuals struggling with excess body weight and obesity, who in most cases do not engage in sports or strenuous physical activities. Therefore, the entire treatment is based on optimal protein intake tailored to this specific group.
DANGERS OF EXCESSIVE PROTEIN INTAKE
Although proteins are extremely important for overall health, if a person consumes more protein than needed, excessive intake can cause a range of undesirable effects — especially if the body doesn’t have increased demand, such as during athletic training or physical activity.
1. Kidney Problems
A byproduct of protein breakdown is urea, which must be excreted through the kidneys. While healthy kidneys can handle a moderate increase in protein intake, prolonged overload can lead to kidney problems. Protein breakdown increases urea production, which requires additional fluid to flush it from the body. This leads to a greater need for hydration. Long-term dehydration can harm organ health and affect the cardiovascular system.
2. Liver Problems
The liver also plays a key role in protein metabolism, and excessive intake can overload the liver. If the body doesn’t use the ingested protein to build new cells or tissues, the excess must be broken down. This process is energy-intensive and can produce harmful byproducts, which over time may lead to liver damage.
3. Excess Body Weight
People who carelessly supplement protein through various dietary products may gain unwanted weight. If the body doesn’t need that amount of protein, the excess will be converted into glucose through gluconeogenesis, and later into fat stores.
CONCLUSION
Non-Invasive Liposuction has been carefully designed with the body’s real protein needs in mind. It is also adapted for specific groups such as vegetarians. One of the main challenges of modern life is the lack of time to prepare balanced meals, which often leads to poor dietary choices. Therefore, it is essential to plan your nutrition in advance to ensure sufficient intake of protein and other essential nutrients.
