Protein at different Life - stages


Protein at different
                                    Life -  stages


1.     Youngchildren


During childhood, children tend to vary their food intake (spontaneously) to coincide with their growth patterns. Children’s food needs vary widely, depending on their growth  and  their level of physical activity . Like energy needs, a child’s total protein, vitamin and mineral requirements increase with age. Ideally, children should be accumulating stores of protein in preparation for the rapid growth spurt experienced during adolescence.

2.     Teenagers


The growth spurt as children move into adolescence needs plenty of energy and nutrients. For girls, this generally occurs around 10 to 11 years of age, while for boys it occurs later, at around 12 to 13 years. Protein rich foods that are high in energy should be preferred as they do not lead to excess weight build-up

3.     Young adults


Moving away from home, starting work and the changing lifestyle that accompanies the late teens and early 20s can cause dietary changes that are not always conductive to good health. The need for performance enhancement and building over all endurance results in higher protein intake requirement. Also this is the time will be carried on into later life.

4.     Pregnant &  Lactating Women


A pregnant women should concentrate on increasing her nutrient intake, rather than her calorie intake, particularly in the first and second trimesters. Breast feeding mothers also need about 75% more protein than normal.

5.     Menopausal women


Thinning of the bones is common in postmenopausal women because of hormone- related changes.  Phytoestrogens, which occur naturally in protein rich sources like Soy have beneficial impact on bone health and also negate other post menopausal symptoms.

6.     Older people


Many people eat less as they get older, this can make it harder to ensure our diet has enough variety to include all the protein we need. Protein supplementation can help balance nutrient intake and maintain muscle mass. It is also important for good bone and heart health.
