Rethinking Protein Intake

Many people are not consuming enough protein, with current recommendations falling short of what is necessary for optimal health. The RDA is based on minimal survival needs rather than what is required to thrive, suggesting that a higher intake—around 2 grams per kilogram of body weight—may be more beneficial. This issue is particularly pronounced among middle-aged women, who often lack muscle mass and adequate protein consumption, potentially leading to a decreased quality of life.
