Have you ever wondered why gym-goers and weight-loss gurus swear by protein to slim down?  

The feeling of satiety is what makes it different from carbs and fats. Protein stays longer in our stomach, because it takes longer to digest in comparison to carbohydrates or fats. The length of protein digestion helps us feel full for a longer time. That's why eating 100 g of pasta doesn't make you feel nearly as full as eating 100 g of chicken breast. 

One study even proved that increasing the protein intake to 30% (of the daily diet) resulted in eating 441 fewer calories daily! And that’s without specifically avoiding any food. 

2. Aids in fat loss  

A high-protein diet boosts metabolism, increases calorie burn, and suppresses hunger. 

Apart from boosting metabolism and giving the feeling of satiety, many people rapidly lost weight by increasing their protein intake. A higher protein intake ignites thermogenesis, and the digestion of protein burns much more calories compared to digesting fats or carbs. 

When intentionally reducing calorie intake, a study proved that a high-protein diet can help boost fat loss by 53%! 

3. Grows and repairs muscles 

When you lift weights, hike, or work out, your muscles tear from the pressure. This is the perfect opportunity to make them grow – but they need proper nutrition. 

Proteins are the building blocks of muscles. That's why you need to consume enough protein to repair the torn tissue and provide the right nutrients to make the muscles grow. 

Regardless of your goals – let it be bulking or weight loss, a high protein intake should be your priority. High protein intake gives you the strength to do another set and prevents muscle loss when lowering your body weight.

4. Lowers blood pressure   

On average, 22% of Europeans as young as 15 have high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a silent issue and isn’t as innocent as it may sound – it can lead to many heart complications and even long-term kidney issues.  

Two of the leading causes of high blood pressure are being overweight and indulging in too many fatty foods. 

Luckily, a high-protein diet can lower your blood pressure while helping you eat less and lose weight. 

One study proved that apart from lowering blood pressure, a protein-rich diet also reduced LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. 

5. Prevents muscle deterioration as you age 

One of the consequences of getting older is also muscle deterioration. Basically, this means that your muscles decrease in size and weaken due to ageing. In more severe cases, it can lead to bone fractures and, therefore, reduced quality of life. 

Not just because of age, your chosen lifestyle can also affect your muscles. Muscles can decrease in size because of a lack of physical activity and poor nutrition.

Increasing your protein intake is one of the best anti-ageing methods. Protein feeds your muscles and improves the flexibility and strength of your bones. 

What's more interesting is that high-protein intake can make your skin firmer and less prone to develop wrinkles. Protein strengthens collagen levels and also has a big impact on hair and nail health.
