Replacing animal protein with plant-based protein can reduce chronic disease risk
Plant-based foods have been trending in the media lately, and studies have shown that consuming plant-based foods is not only good for the environment, but also for our health.
A recent study in the United States has once again shown that adults who eat foods high in plant protein have a lower risk of developing various chronic diseases. Researchers recommend replacing animal proteins with plant-based proteins to reduce these risks.
Importantly, this study is the first to investigate the impact of a diet high in sulfur amino acids on our health. These substances are found in many foods, but are usually found in high levels in eggs, fish, red meat, and chicken. When ingested at recommended levels, sulfur amino acids play a vital role in our bodies. They help with our metabolism, protect cells from damage, make proteins, regulate hormones and neurotransmitters, and also help keep our liver healthy.
But eating too many foods high in sulfur amino acids can have many negative health effects. They are associated with a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In general, adults are recommended to consume only 15 mg of sulfur amino acids per kilogram of body weight per day. But evidence suggests that most older adults eat beyond these recommendations.
