Protein: Everything you need to know. Protein is an essential part of a healthy diet as it helps your body build and repair muscles and bones, among other things. A healthy diet should always be rich in protein, which can be found in foods such as chicken, eggs, soya, fish, beans, tofu, milk and nuts and seeds. Suzie Sawyer, a nutritionist working with Biotiful Gut Health, explains why protein is important and how much you should be eating. ”With an average sedentary woman, recommended to eat 45 grams of protein daily, an active man needing 80-110 grams of protein daily, and an average egg containing six to seven grams, getting sufficient protein every day does need some focus.” "It's certainly one of the biggest challenges athletes and recreational exercisers face for their performance, recovery and repair.” The nutritionist adds that dairy produce is high in protein, "but natural kefir protein is best in class with Biotiful Natural Protein providing 20 grams of protein per serving as just one example.” Suzie also points out that protein is important for everyone, including children. ”Increasing age also requires higher protein intakes. Inadequate protein in older people is directly related to muscle wastage and all the health issues that can bring.” "At the other end of the spectrum pregnant and lactating women need a whopping extra six to 11 grams of protein daily.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
