Hot News from the Protein front

Despite the lack of evidence, concerns about the dangers of protein intake persist. However, here’s some reassuring news:

A recent study found that higher protein diets are linked to lower levels of chronic kidney disease. This adds to the substantial body of research indicating that protein does not harm kidney health. If you plan to increase your protein intake, it’s best to focus on plant-based proteins and remain mindful of proteins high in saturated fat, especially if you have high LDL cholesterol.

To boost your plant protein intake, consider incorporating more beans, edamame, seitan, lentils, or high-quality plant protein powder into your diet.
