Dr. Federica Amati argues that the focus should be on the source of protein rather than the amount consumed. Highlighting studies, she states that plant proteins, like those from oats and chia seeds, contribute to better health outcomes compared to animal proteins. Research demonstrates that plant-based diets are linked to lower risks of chronic diseases among participants, whereas higher animal protein intake correlates with negative health impacts. Thus, itâs essential to choose plant proteins for overall gut health and well-being, especially as part of a preventive health strategy.
"You don't need to be scoffing steaks or gorging on protein shakes to get enough of the macronutrient - a top nutritionist says plant-based protein is the best kind, and better for your gut health than meat, too."
"Hitting protein targets is currently a huge health trend. But Amati told Business Insider that most people get enough, and don't need to worry about eating more protein unless they're an athlete or actively trying to change their body composition."
