Many people doing the diet with fatty foods and ways of reducing the emphasis on protein. Men who want to have big muscles also intentionally expand the protein in food intake. Though the concept was wrong, that excess protein is precisely the source of disease for the body.

Protein is required by the body to build muscle, skin tissue, hair, nails and other. But be careful, mostly eating protein can be harmful to health. There have been many scientific studies that prove the dangers of consuming excess protein for the body.

“The amount of protein that is more than 30 percent of calories the body can be harmful to health,” says Gail Butterfield, PhD, RD, director of Nutrition Studies at the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Medical Center and also the nutrition expert from Stanford University, as reported by Medicinenet.

Unlike fat cells that can be stored in excess fat tissue if the body does not have a place to store excess protein. Therefore, most proteins will diuban body into fat to be stored beforehand. Here is the key protein of the dangers of excess.

More and more proteins are converted into fat in the body means that fat reserves are increasing rapidly, and that means the risk of illness due to the fat will come, ranging from high cholesterol to heart disease

In the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is mentioned, the excess protein is not good for the kidneys, liver and causes the body to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Excess protein also associated with osteoporosis and cancer.

Gail says that excess protein can produce a toxic ketone compounds. This compound will cause the kidneys work harder to get them out of the body. As a result, the kidneys require more water, and from there appeared dehydrated.

If the body is dehydrated, the body weight can be reduced because of reduced muscle mass and bone. Consequently, the risk of osteoporosis. Dehydration also causes the kidneys to stress and the effect it will have an impact on the heart.

Ketone compounds and dehydration also causes the body to become weak, dizzy, bad breath and other. Proteins can also cause allergic reactions such as dermatitis topic, kaligata, collagen disease, ulcerative colitis and crohn disease. Excessive animal protein can damage DNA and alter the cells into cancer cells.

How much protein your body needs?

According to the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA), which created the Food and Nutrition Board, ideally one needs 0.72 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight. So if you weigh 80 kg, the protein that is required is approximately 57 grams.

If someone reproduce the consumption of protein without carbohydrates, the body will convert protein into glucose which should be the task of carbohydrates to produce glucose.

But that has changed these proteins can not build muscle. Required to form a muscle is to exercise regularly with adequate protein intake. Nevertheless, the body still needs protein to mensistesis enzymes, hormones, and others against infection.

Therefore, it should behave if they want a balanced diet of high protein foods like meat, cheese, milk and eggs.
