Tips To Improve Your Muscle Health
Those who are strict vegetarians are often deficient in protein. Lower protein intake leads to poor muscle strength.
"We believe there is a need to build awareness about the importance of muscle health among the vegetarians and find appropriate solutions," a Dr. said.
A nutritionist said 84 per cent of vegetarian and 65 per cent of non-vegetarian diets are protein deficient.
"The study concluded people are not getting enough protein from their daily diets and to maintain good muscle health, the body needs between 10 and 14 additional grams of protein per day," she said.
"So in this situation, protein supplements, which come with hydrolyzed proteins, could be a very helpful resource to fulfill daily protein intakes," she added.
Expressing similar views, another nutritionist said protein is the most misunderstood nutrient with a lot of fallacies around it like it is only for body builders or the belief that our daily diets have sufficient protein.
"To compound the situation, not many people are aware about their daily protein requirements. Similarly, muscle health is often ignored since it is misunderstood as an area which is of relevance only to a sportsperson or a gym-goer. Not many Indians know about its overall impact on health and wellness," he added.
Good muscle health is not only a key for an active lifestyle, but also for carrying out daily physical activities to maintain a healthy life, he said.
As per the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for Indians, 0.8 to 1 gm protein per kg body weight per day is the requirement of a normal, sedentary person without any disease.
2. Include more dairy in your diet to increase protein intake. Dairy products like eggs, milk, cottage cheese and cheese are all good sources of protein.
3. Include more nuts and seeds in your diet to increase protein consumption for better muscle health.
4. Soy is a great source of protein for vegetarians and vegans. They can also add more legumes and beans in their diet to increase their protein consumption.
5. Also for improved muscle health, make sure you include strength training or weight training in your exercise regime.
Doctors told me that more we move around, our bones get stronger. Keep moving every now and then, even if you've a desk job. Good luck for good protein and strong muscles.
