- How to Recognize Protein Deficiency. Protein plays a vital role in the daily functioning of our bodies. If you don’t have enough of it, your body will suffer. According to UN data, around 1 billion people worldwide are protein deficient. How do you know if you’re one of them? You’d better watch out for these 10 signs and symptoms related to protein deficiency so you’ll know when there’s a problem.
To make things clear, when we say “not enough protein,” we mean somewhere under 56 g for men and 46 g for women per day. For kids, it varies from 19 g to 34 g depending on their age. This figure may also vary if you are pregnant or ill. According to the US Department of Agriculture, you can calculate a more specific amount using a simple formula. Try to eat about 0.36 g of protein for every pound of your weight.

SUMMARY
-If you always feel hungry and have cravings for food and snacks, it may be because of a low-protein, high-carb, and sugar-filled diet.
-When you’re unable to build muscle mass (even if you’re working out), this can lead to muscle waste or atrophy. It can also make you constantly feel tired and gain fat.
-A protein deficiency can result in weak and brittle nails. In a few cases, people might observe white bands and brownish spots on their nails. A protein deficiency can affect the skin as well because protein enables cell regeneration, produces new cells, and replaces dead ones.
-If you don’t get enough nutrients, your hair may thin and fade. This happens because the body stops using protein for nonessential things, like hair growth, in an effort to preserve it.
-A fatty liver is one of the most common symptoms of a protein deficiency. If left untreated, it can cause fatty liver disease, which leads to inflammation, liver scarring, and potential liver failure.
-Just as with your muscles, a low intake of protein can also affect your bones. Not having enough protein leads to a weakening of the bones, thus increasing the risk of bone fractures.
-If you have trouble sleeping or suffer from sleep deprivation, it’s likely linked to a protein deficiency.
-There can be multiple reasons for your headaches, and 2 reasons are anemia and low blood sugar levels. You can blame a lack of protein for both.
-Edema is a condition in which extra fluid builds up in your body and makes your legs swell. Harvard Health Publications links low protein levels and edema.
-If you experience a lack of motivation, poor memory, or trouble learning anything new, it’s a sign that you are protein deficient.
-To get enough protein, balance your meat, dairy, fish, and egg intake with healthy vegetarian and vegan proteins. Make beans, nuts and seeds (such as almonds, flax, chia, and hemp), spinach, and broccoli your new best friends.

BRIGHT SIDE I’m tired all the time, my feet are enormous and getting bigger, and I feel like eating most of time.
Oh I forgot I’m a teenager
I don't like protein things though 😐😤😣😒 I don't like chicken or meat or eggs :l
thank you Bright Side for this video
Rose Diaz well eat vegetables that are high in protein
I have all those symptoms!!
The picture of the nails is what caught my attention.
Jen Reddy me too.
Jen Reddy here too.
But, aren’t the doctors responsible for checking our Proteins or whatever in our Systems?
@@sukaynanathani7246
You are responsible for your health
vertical ridges on your nail means you are "OLD".
it's sign of aging.
Jen Reddy same hahaha
Thanks so much!
Now I understand the source of my multiple physical problems.
God bless you!
This video read me like a book! Great advice! Will check into this.
One of THE MOST INFORMATIVE videos I've seen on health in a long while. Tthank you sooooo very much.
Definitely, and it's one thing to eat enough protein, and another to absorb enough! Something people should consider if they are eating enough protein but still having these symptoms, would be to look closer into their gut health.
Thanks for the hints that we can watch for...
My husband passed away a year ago and I haven’t been eating properly, I have all those symptoms I thought it was old age. Thank you
Please find loving people who can emotionally support you. It will eventually get easier. Best of luck.
Please take care of yourself; I am sure that's what your husband would like you to do. Bright blessings 🤗💖
It's all about my problems! I am happy to know about it so I can change it! Thanks!! 😊
Boy I just found so much information I will start taking care of my body now thank you
Thank you! I definitely don't get enough. Thanks for all the tips, and the inspiration!
IF I had a lot of cash I would eat meat several times a week.I cam get eggs, but that's it.I am elderly, and like most of us we cannot afford protein.
Finally an answer to my question. Thanks. I’ve dealt with most if not all of those symptoms

Kyleene Galloway me tooo
Thank you very informative I need to look in to it I have most of the problems 🙏
Its literally the "THUMBNAIL" which got me here!
I have always looked at this as thyroid problem. Thank you.
It may be that too
I had
Hair fall
Brain fog
Fatty liver
Cracked skin
Fatigue
Because I became vegetarian and that was the worst mistake of my life.
I still have fatty liver and less muscles but rest I have recovered.
very very imp factors well explained
Thanks a lot
Thanks for this substsntial information. Only then, do we realize the importance of protein deficiency.
The thumbnail is litteraly a thumbnail xD
😁 Literally
Ikr 😭😂
😂😂
lol
Yes, and has nothing to do with protein. Ridges on nails are a sign of under active thyroid...
Agreed that lacking Protein cause poor memory base on personal experience. Having 2 half boil eggs each morning help to recover.
Best advice and hygiene course shown.
Thx. Excellent info. Will be working on protein intake. 👀
Wow I was raised vegan until I was 6 and then vegetarian after that and I’ve only eaten meat a couple times. My body has been breaking down for so long and I can’t believe I’m just now finding out that protein and vitamin deficiencies could be causing this
My friend is vegan and had to start eating meat again, the doctor advised her to, as she was sluggish and feeling sick.
How much amount of Protein do you take per day ??
@@alokmishra6337 i was eating about 10 grams until recently. Now I’m taking supplement shakes and getting about 60-70 grams a day
@@angelagracefoster6826 Great. Which protein supplement are you taking ?
@@alokmishra6337 I’m taking a muscle milk shake
Wow...this was the most enlightening video ever for me!! I eat very little meat or dairy!! Thank you very much!
Same.
You don’t get protein intake from meat or dairy alone
You also get protein intake from legumes (beans, lentils), nuts, and some vegetables and grains
VERY HELPFUL
Wow that was a very useful video
Thats why i always want to eat snacks instead of food. And i cant fall asleep
I know, this is me
I didn't know food craving means low protein . This solves so many problems
Yes it does
Great video thanks
Thanks for this! Do protein shakes help?
Exactly what my nails look like.
I click on all thumbnails of an actual thumbnail. Here I am.
Good helping information

@@beverlykennedy126 wait do u have a black shade at the side of your nails,cuz i know i lack protein but i drink water like 4 times a day
Thank you. May be I need to eat more protein food.💖
These days many channels give unauthorised information and misleads people. I believe and follow information given in this channel. Thank you for giving useful information.
Hello,which app do you use for your videos?Thank you.
I know Weedborn has solutions to most diseases.
Vertical ridges on the nails is not dangerous and a normal part of aging but if it's horizontal than that is a problem.
That's true!
UNLEASHING POTENTIAL - PSYCHOLOGY VIDEOS I have vertical ridges on my fingernails but I feel like I eat a lot of protein everyday but the ridges aren’t nearly as prominent as the ones in the thumbnail. Also my nails are pretty sturdy.
UNLEASHING POTENTIAL - PSYCHOLOGY VIDEOS ... what does horizontal ridges mean?
I had them as a kid but no longer do. I'm middle aged. So I rather doubt that statement
River Smithe, below is info on horizontal lines:
Horizontal nail ridges running from side to side of the nail, known as Beau's lines, may be a sign of previous injury, underlying health conditions, or in rare cases, arsenic poisoning.
Finally I found y I have these problems thanks
Thank you so much for the information . I find it helpful
This makes a lot of sense to me 🤓
I love this chanel ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi love ur vids
Thank you 🙏 ✔️
