The proteins make the bones stronger, mend the muscles, boost the immune system and clog the memory lapse. Are we in lack?
Repairing mission. You weigh 60 kilos? Oh well, you have nearly 10 kilos of proteins !
Normal, one finds some almost everywhere. They are assembled like bricks to erect scaffolding muscles, the skin and the bones.
As we do not have any protein stock (contrary to greases), if one does not eat enough of it, the organism draws them from its active reserves (while starting with the muscles). Very quickly, the cellular renewal is blown, the bodies grows old quickly.
The muscular mass melts more quickly, the bones lose density, the skin becomes flask, the brain skids, and the immune system weakens (observable signs in the anorexics).
" on the opposite, according to very recent studies, consuming each day sufficient proteins of good quality should make it possible to slow down the ageing of the cells, therefore of the organism as a whole. Moreover, they will clog the breaches and will repair tissues deteriorated by the diseases, more frequent with the age ". .
Ration revision on the rise
Do WHO (World Organization for Health) and FAO (Organization for the Food and Agriculture) endanger our health?
Possible. According to professor Vernon R. Young, the safety contribution in proteins and amino acids recommended by these two organizations (0.75 g/kg of weight per day) would be almost twice lower than the needs for the population. In his opinion : "the advised contributions are so low that a basic regime only of corn, bread or others derived from corn would be sufficient to meet our requirements in proteins and amino acids. However, our research shows that humans cannot live only on bread only."
Today, we rather needs to bet, for the sedentary adults, 1 g/kg/day, that is to say 60 G of proteins for a person of 60 kg (to be noted a steak of 1008 contains only 20g proteins, like fish 100g, 3 new or 1 kg of rice) and, for the sportsmen, 1,4g/kg/jday.
Which is far from being the case, especially when a hypo caloric mode is followed or we stuff ourselves with substitute meals ...
Without forgetting that it is necessary to consume 1/3 proteins of animal origin (meat, new, milk) or coming from leguminous plants (beans, soy), to lack no amino acid (21 on the whole). Within sight of these results, WHO and the EGO could re-examine their figures with this rising figures.
As it was the case in 1985, already by the advice of professor Young. Holder of the pulpit nutritional biochemistry in Massachusetts lnstitute of Technology (M.I.T.) from Boston. He has just gained international Dannon price in Nutrition.
The all new anti-stress weapon
Let us eat proteins to live cool !
Recent studies actually showed that the students of last year, less stressed in period of examinations, needed less protein than the first-year student.
Conclusion : in period of stress, it is necessary focus to take more proteins to think correctly. In fact, the amino acids, component essential of proteins, are the precursors of some neurotransmitters, themselves responsible for the operation of nervous system. The more this one is activated, the more it has need for fuel, it is logical.
"Attention thus not to fast when one is overworked, do not stuff with pizza pies and chips when we do not have time. It is in these moments that we have more demand for proteins with high nutritional value ". .
Vernon Young, , currently works on the role of certain amino acids - and more particularly on the nitric oxide, derived from the arginine - in the memory. Business to be followed...
Rust prevention of the third millennium
Did we found better than the vitamins A, E, C or than selenium to fight against the free radicals ?
Is necessary to see... Always according to Vernon Young, certain amino acids could play the part of antioxidants indeed. Not on a purely individual basis, but in the form of amalgams: "the glutathione, for example, a tri-peptide (formed of three amino acids) is a remarkable intracellular antioxidant. Among very sick patients, his rate is reduced. To give it on level, and to accelerate the cure, one can increase the consumption of amino acids which influence its manufacture: cysteine presents in the meat and the eggs, glycocolle and glutamine, largely widespread in our food ". .
A discovery which could have many repercussions these ten next years...
