The power of plant proteins. Give your self a nutritional boost...

According to a recent study by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Tufts University, women who eat more plant protein in midlife may increase their odds of ageing healthily.

Compared to women who ate low amounts of protein, those who ate more plant protein were 46% more likely to age healthily; those who ate more protein from meat and dairy products were 6% less likely to stay healthy as they got older, according to the study.

Top 5 benefits of adequate protein intake:

1. Increases satiety, reduces appetite and sugar cravings
2. Supports muscle and bone mass and strength
3. Aids healthy hormone balance
4. Aids wound healing and tissue repair
5. Supports a healthy immune system

Protein is a fundamental building block for the body, crucial for our general health and the repair and growth of tissues, including muscles, skin, and bones.

Protein is made up of amino acids. There are 20 amino acids in total, 9 of which are essential, meaning the body cannot make them and so they must be ingested through food. When we engage in physical activities, our muscles undergo stress and small tears, which are repaired and strengthened during recovery, a process heavily reliant on adequate protein intake.

Plant proteins are derived from a variety of sources, including legumes (like lentils and chickpeas), nuts, seeds, and whole grains. These proteins are often rich in essential nutrients like fibre, vitamins, and minerals, which are not only important for general health but also contribute to sustained energy levels and digestive health.
