Proteins can be deemed as the founding components of all tissues in the human body that also play essential roles in metabolism, immunity, fluid balance, and energy. They help in building muscle, skin, enzymes, and hormones, so while you may watch your calories, sugar and salt intake, you should also make sure you are ingesting enough protein. Obviously, protein deficiency can have a big impact on body functions.

However, many people fail to recognise the importance of protein in our body and neglect the consumption of a sufficient quantity. Lisa Suwal, CEO of Prasuma says, "A diet that is chronically deficient in this nutrient can lead to a variety of unwanted health issues like hair loss, slow recovery from injury, low energy, poor sleep, and weakened immunity. A diet that has protein inadequacy can boost work performance as well as enhance learning and motor skills, whereas inadequate protein consumption has the ability to do the opposite."
