Protein: A key to good eating
Dr. Katie Hirsch, an assistant professor in the Department of Exercise Science at the University of South Carolina explains the significance of protein in muscle repair, metabolic health, and the role it plays in preventing muscle loss as individuals age or undergo stress.
- Protein is essential for muscle repair and metabolic health.
- Women often under-consume protein, impacting their health.
- Timing of protein intake can enhance muscle recovery post-exercise.
- Aiming for 20-30 grams of protein per meal is beneficial.
- Plant-based proteins may require higher intake to meet needs.
