When you go overboard on protein, this is what can happen in your body ๋จ๋ฐฑ์ง์ ์ง๋์น๊ฒ ๋จน์ผ๋ฉด ์ฐ๋ฆฌ ๋ชธ์ ์ด๋ค ๋ณํ๊ฐ ์๊ธธ๊น.โ
Thereโs one buzz word that you might be hearing a lot lately: protein.
Whether itโs Starbucks testing a protein-packed cold foam or reality TV star Khloรฉ Kardashian launching her own brand of protein popcorn, the macronutrient is having a cultural moment โ and rightfully so. Protein is an important part of a healthy diet.
Along with carbohydrates and fat, protein is one of the main macronutrients that make up our diet. Itโs also the only macronutrient that supplies us with amino acids.
When our bodies digest protein in food, it gets broken down into amino acids, which have a hand in many bodily processes, such as building and preserving muscle, making hormones, boosting the immune system and even maintaining healthy hair, skin and nails.
But some nutrition scientists warn that thanks to social media trends, many people may be consuming too much protein.
โWhen you eat more protein than your body needs, your body canโt store the extra. It just gets rid of it in urine or turns it into energy or fat,โ said registered dietitian Dr. Michelle Cardel, chief nutrition officer at WeightWatchers and adjunct professor at the University of Florida.
For most healthy people, this isnโt necessarily harmful, she said, but โonce youโve had enough protein, youโve met your needs. More protein doesnโt equal more benefit, whereas balancing protein with fiber intake is going to be really important when thinking about longevity and optimizing health and well-being across the lifespan.โ
In some cases, going overboard on protein and not balancing it with fiber could lead to weight gain or digestive problems.
โOne of the common signs is constipation,โ said Dr. David Liska, chair of the Department of Colorectal Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic.
โConstipation can lead to a whole slew of other complaints,โ he said, adding thatโs why having a diet thatโs high in fiber is important. โWe generally recommend about 25 to 35 grams of fiber a day for overall gut health โ that should be accompanied by a lot of water intake.โ
Balancing protein and fiber
While protein plays an important role in supporting strength and development in the body, fiber is important for digestion and helping to prevent diseases.
In the United States, itโs estimated that more than 90% of women and 97% of men do not meet recommended intakes for dietary fiber, according to the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Some research suggests that eating the right balance of protein and fiber can help maintain a healthy weight or even support weight-loss goals.
The 30/30/30 rule
To ensure that she gets an adequate balance of both protein and fiber in her daily diet, Cardel said follows a specific rule.
โI tend to think about my health in a 30/30/30,โ she said. โAt least 30 grams of protein per meal, at least 30 grams of fiber daily and at least getting 30 minutes of physical activity every day โ and that helps keep me balanced.โ
So what are some ways to add healthy amounts of protein and fiber to your diet?
To hit a healthy balance of protein and fiber intake, Liska said recommends following a Mediterranean diet.
โA Mediterranean diet is one of these very balanced diets. Itโs still high in protein but also high in fruits and vegetables, olive oil,โ he said. โIf you follow a Mediterranean diet with that balance of protein and vegetables and fats, that has usually been found to be associated with good gut health, good cardiovascular health and also a decreased risk of colorectal cancer.โ
