Protein Deficiency: Symptoms, Prevention and Treatment

Protein is very important for your body to work correctly.

If you don't get enough protein, it can cause problems like swelling in your legs, losing muscle, and getting sick more easily.

Other signs include hair loss, feeling hungrier, and wounds healing slowly.

To avoid this, eat a variety of protein-rich foods like meat, beans, and nuts.

If you're a vegetarian or vegan, plan your meals to include enough protein.

If you think you might have a problem, talk to a doctor.
