Let’s be honest, most of us worry about iron, B12, or vitamin D. And sure, when you're low on those, your body lets you know. But protein deficiency? That’s a quiet one.
No sudden crash. No dramatic signs. Just a slow, invisible breakdown.
Protein is literally everywhere in your body, muscles, skin, hormones, immunity, enzymes. But when your intake is low, your body doesn't complain immediately. Instead, it adjusts, compromises, and silently declines.
And here’s the kicker:
Protein deficiency builds over years.
There’s no routine blood test to catch it. By the time symptoms show up-weak muscles, hair fall, brittle nails, fatigue, low immunity-the damage has already been compounding in the background.
Sound familiar?
Now think about your parents.
Knee pain, joint stiffness, low stamina, slow healing, we often chalk it up to just aging.
But chronic low-protein diets, especially in traditional Indian meals, play a huge role in low mobility and muscle loss as they grow older.
For years, they’ve prioritized carbs and cut out "heavy foods", and now, they're paying the price. And unless we break the cycle, we might be next.
Most of us think we’re getting enough protein. A little dal, a few almonds, maybe the occasional protein bar. But quantity isn’t everything, quality and consistency matter.
So here’s your reminder:
Start taking protein seriously for your health, your future, and the people who raised you.
Because this isn’t just about fitness.
It’s about strength, longevity, and living well at every age.
