Recommended Protein intake numbers according to age

by

    How much protein is too much protein?  Are you confused on the amount you should take in and the source?

    Plant based or Animal Based?

    Here are a few guidelines set by the the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences:

    Adequate Intake (AI) and Recommended Dietry Allowances (RDAs):

    0-6 months: 9.1 grams

    6 months to 1 year: 13.5 grams

    1-3 Years: 13 grams

    4-8 Years: 19 grams

    9-13 Years: 34 grams

    Males 14-18 years: 52 grams

    Males 19+ years: 56 grams

    Females 14 years+ years: 46 grams

    Pregnant and Lactating Women: 71 grams

    Why do we need Protein? What can they do for us?

    *building blocks of the immune system, keeps the system functioning properly.

    * Helps your body produce enzymes

    *Helps maintain healthy skin, hair, and nails.

    INADEQUATE Protein intake can lead to:

    * Fatigue and Weakness

    *Frequent infections

    *Slow growth and development in children

    *muscle wasting/Weight loss

    The impact of cooking, storing and processing proteins can make proteins resistant to digestive enzymes.  Overcooking foods containing protein can destroy heat sensitive amino acids like Lysine.  Eliminating the microwave as a cooking method is so very important to your health!

      Digestive enzymes are a Must especially if you don’t have a Gall Bladder

        Panplex-2 Phase   Integrative Therapeutics
        60 count $15.20     180 count $43.40

        Are you functioning without a Gall Bladder?  Have you had it removed or any other parts missing due to surgery? Yes, you can live without them, but it hinders your health.  Each organ has a specific roll, and we MUST supplement to help our bodies do what it should naturally.  Especially as we age, we lose 50% HCL every decade, then lose the ability to make more the next decade of our lives.  This is one reason why it’s harder to loss weight as we get older.  Our body simply can’t do it without help.  This is a picture of a current client who started taking digestive enzymes and in a few short days she began to process the food she was eating.  No more “food babies” as I have heard it referred to as, the bloat and pain become so much less.

        Panplex 2-Phase is a dual-action formula that provides support for both the gastric and intestinal phases of digestion.† This dual-phase supplement provides support for more complete digestion in both the stomach and intestinal tract. Panplex 2-Phase combines pancreatic enzymes with hydrochloric acid and pepsin for healthy digestion support.† Phase I gastric support includes hydrochloric acid and pepsin.† Phase II intestinal support includes pancreatin and bile salts in a delayed-release matrix designed to protect against deactivation of enzymes by stomach acids.
