The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight or 0.36 grams per pound. The RDA indicates how much of a nutrient you need for essential health. So, if you weigh 150 pounds, that is only 50 grams of protein or about 2 ounces. People who are very athletic or older may want a little more. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans have shifted away from dictating percentages of macronutrients to focusing on a healthy eating plan that is high in fiber with nutrient-dense foods.
Michael J Fox, the famous actor from Family Ties, put Parkinson’s Disease on everyone’s radar when he was diagnosed in 1991. Back then, not much was known about this chronic neurogenerative disease. Thankfully, there’s growing interest in how nutrition may help prevent and slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD).
While most people recognize that obesity has genetic links, they may not consider the impact of malnutrition. According to a recent study from Tulane University, a diet lacking protein in one generation may be responsible for health risks in offspring including low birth weight and smaller kidneys that may linger for several generations.
Anti-inflammatory diets have been a hot topic in the news for the past few years, but people don’t often discuss “pro-inflammatory” diets. Pro-inflammatory foods may increase the risk of chronic conditions like cancer and heart disease.
