High-protein diets help you look good and kill you Bashny.Net

Many people who want to have a beautiful body, often go on a diet high in protein to build muscle. Unfortunately, few people remember high-school chemistry and biology: High-protein diets are not only help muscles grow, and kill you.

Studies show that diets high in protein and low carbohydrate can increase muscle mass in addition to normalize blood glucose levels and reduce the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, two studies published in the journal «Cell Metabolism», suggests that such a diet also reduces the lifespan.

One study was conducted on mice, scientists in the other watched people for 18 years, and in both cases, found a link between low-protein diet high in carbohydrates and longevity. The unexpected addition - for people over 65 years high-protein diet, appear to contribute to longevity. According to gerontologists, it is logical: the aging of the organism have decreased ability to digest protein, so it must eat more.

The results showed that people aged 50 to 65 years, consuming large amounts of animal protein, three times the risk of dying from cancer or for other reasons.

On average, most protein foods people eat for dinner. It is much safer if there is the same amount of protein a day, but divide it into three standard meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner are roughly equal. To most useful organism - a balanced diet.
