HEALTH FACT
Protein takes a while to digest so it makes you feel fuller for longer. It also helps maintain muscle mass in older people. The recommended intake is between 0.8g/kg and 1.8g/kg of body weight. Please talk to your healthcare professional before increasing your protein intake, especially if you have kidney problems as it can lead to increased strain and loss of renal function.
