Any professional dietician in the house create a list/time table for affordable and readily available sources of proteins in Nigeria..... I just finish into rice and it just seems like we have limited sources of protein in this part of the world.

Proteins are essential nutrients that keep your body going. They are polymers made up of amino acids, which are important molecules needed for the different biochemical process in the body.

Protein is an integral part of every cell in your body.

The body uses this nutrient to build, repair and replace worn-out tissues; produce enzymes, hormones and other body chemicals; and also help build bones, muscles, skin, cartilage and even blood.

Unlike other nutrients like fat and carbohydrates, your body does not store protein.

So, you need to consume protein-rich foods from time to time in order to give your body a good supply of this essential nutrient.

1. Muscle Weakness

If you experience sudden muscle weakness or pain, it could be a sign that you are not eating enough protein.

Protein can be used as a fuel for your muscle, so your muscle will suffer when you lack enough protein.

Lack of protein can be a concern, especially in aged men. Men typically may experience loss of muscle mass due to aging and they lose even more protein if they are not eating enough protein via their diet on a daily basis.

If you don’t have sufficient protein, your body breaks down protein-rich tissues for muscle usage.

The initial effect of low protein intake is muscle wasting, which is accompanied by increasing weakness.

2. Frequent Food Cravings

Another common sign of insufficient protein is frequent food cravings.

Sweet craving is especially more common in people who are not getting the recommended amount of protein.

You may also experience sweet cravings even after eating something sweet. This occurs because you are taking in less protein and you are probably eating a diet high in carbohydrates and/or sugar in return.

This may lead to a sudden spike in your blood sugar level and make you feel hungry more frequently.

Also, protein takes a longer time to digest, which makes you feel full longer. This, in turn, regulates your blood sugar levels and helps you control your food cravings.

3. Lowered Immune Functioning

A low protein level may also make susceptible to diseases and sickness.

Since the immune cells are mostly made from proteins, they help keep your immune system functioning properly.

Proteins make up white blood cells (WBC), antibodies, blood proteins and a host of immune molecules, including cytokines and interleukins.

4. Poor Hair Health
https://i2.wp.com/www.thrivengr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/hair-gif.gif
Your hair is made mostly of a protein known as keratin, and this makes protein essential for hair health.

Protein is the building block of all cells and tissues; in fact, your hair follicle is made up of protein. Each and every of your hair strand requires an adequate dose of protein to grow.

So, when your body does not have sufficient protein, it starts conserving the little one and thus limiting protein output. The resulting effect is uncontrolled hair loss.

Apart from that, your hair also becomes dry and brittle.

5. Weak and Brittle Nails

Weak and brittle nails are one of the first common signs of lack of proteins.

Just like the hair, nails are also made up of keratins protein. So, to have a strong and healthy nail, you need to up your protein intake.

When your body doesn’t have sufficient protein, it does not have enough protein to grow strong nails. In addition, inadequate protein intake can cause white spots on your nails.

Furthermore, the lack of protein may lead to more frequent hangnails as well as cracks and tears in the nails. This can make your nails susceptible to infections such as nail fungus.

6. Fluid Retention

Abnormal accumulation of fluid also known as edema is another sign of low protein intake.

Protein is crucial in preventing fluid accumulation in tissues, especially in the feet and ankles, by retaining salt and water in the blood vessels.

Without enough protein, these fluids can escape into the surrounding tissues and lead to swelling of the lower legs and feet.

HealthWhat Are The Benefits Of Stretching? by Gist247(op): 11:30am On Jul 27, 2018
How often do you stretch before you exercise? or even just stretch at all? Are you still in doubts about the benefits of stretching?

Stretching is as important to your body as regular exercise. Its quite easy to overlook stretching because the results are not as visible as weight lifting, sit up and squatting or so you thought.

Stretching is very important in lightening of muscles for flexibility, range of motion and injury prevention.

It is also an important part of any exercise or rehabilitation program. Stretching helps relaxes your muscles and increases blood flow and nutrients to your cartilage and muscles.

No matter your age and sex, stretching is good for everybody.

Why Stretching Is So Important?

Stretching can lead to better posture, fewer aches and pains, greater confidence, and a cheerier outlook on life.

That’s because stretching increases your blood flow and circulation for a healthier body and sends oxygen to your brain for a clearer mind and sunnier moods.

If you’re like me, you probably neglect this aspect of your fitness regime, even though stretching has major benefits.

Hopefully these reasons will inspire you to include it in your schedule.

1. Stretching Improves Flexibility

One of the by-products of stretching is quite obviously improved flexibility. In fact, this is the most established benefit of stretching.

Your innate flexibility comes from several factors: joints, ligaments, tendons and muscle.

With an increased range of motion you might find yourself capable of moving into positions otherwise deemed dangerous.

In many fitness arena’s stretching is often overlooked with so many of us eager to get on with the tough stuff.

However, I think it’s important to remember that being flexible presents many benefits to the human body that are not just exercised in the gym.

2. Stretching Has a Calming Effect

Stretches should be gentle not only for the sake of the body but also for the mind.

As the muscles contract and lengthen the physical body relaxes, which then translates to a more relaxed and calm emotional state.

Flexibility work, if done properly, has a calming effect, for this reason it’s a good thing to practice around bedtime. When you prepare your body for sleep through [gently] stretching, you’re helping your body recover and regenerate.

3. Stretching Prepares The Body For The Pain Ahead

Stretching allows the body to warm-up as it encourages the flow of blood to all organs of the body including the muscles.

The muscles then enjoy an oxygen supply and the nutrients needed to keep them going throughout a WOD.

4. Stretching Builds And Elongates Your Muscles

Stretching allows you to move through the full range of motion when it comes to hitting weights, in effect creating long and full muscles instead of stunted ones.

Instead of trying to stretch your whole body after every time you exercise, focus on a key area of the body each time.

Spend longer time on each stretch and include more stretches for each area.

If you are aware of muscles that are tight, then focus on those ones.

what are the benefits of stretching?

5. It Reduces The Risk of Injury

A flexible body means that your long muscles are not as susceptible to tearing so you have plenty of room to move if you’re attempting a heavy lift.

stretching can be thought of as preventative medicine for the body by ensuring it stays mobile, flexible and best of all injury free.

6. Stretching Encourages Fast Recovery

There is a reason as to why we are trained to stretch before and after exercise.

Not only does stretching warm the body but it does wonders for recovery and may just prevent the dreaded DOMS (delayed onset muscle syndrome).

Exercising causes accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles (lactic acidosis) leading to muscle cramps.

By stretching the muscles after exercise these acids move into the bloodstream and out of the muscles to the liver, where they are broken down.

7. Stretching Increases Your Stamina

One of the benefits of Stretching is that, it increases stamina. It helps loosens your muscles and tendons which relieves muscle fatigue and increases blood flow.

The longer you exercise, the more fat you burn, of course you know fat can cause fatigue.

But when you stretch, you delay the onset of muscle fatigue by ensuring oxygen is efficiently flowing through your blood.

This ultimately increases your endurance for strenuous exercise.

And with all these said, you should know now that stretching has many benefits and doing it often will help you, your body and your mind a whole lot.

Thanks for reading this long and please share.
