Protein and the Indian plate: Nutritionist explains why balanced intake matters for health and immunity

Protein is an essential nutrient in our daily diet. While both insufficient and excessive intake can have negative effects, maintaining a healthy balance is key to ensuring the body functions optimally. Consume protein every day.(Shutterstock) In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Eshanka Wahi, nutritionist and founder of Eat Clean with Eshanka said, 'Protein is an essential macronutrient that contains higher nutritional value and is directly involved in chemical processes. It plays a vital role in supporting everything that your body does, from maintaining and repairing body tissues and building lean muscle to supporting immunity and ensuring hormonal balance.' Also read | Cardiologist says too much protein is 'ticking time bomb' for early heart attacks in your 30s and 40s Addressing the inadequacy of protein in Indian diets, Eshanka Wahi added, 'Indian diets tend to be rich in carbohydrates and low in proteins, especially for vegetarians, leading to a nutritional gap.' Why is protein crucial? 'Proteins are made of amino acids, which are the building blocks of life. From maintaining strong muscles and bones to supporting hair and skin health, a protein-rich diet fuels optimal wellness. Insufficient intake can lead to fatigue, muscle loss, low immunity, and poor recovery from illness or injury,' the nutritionist explained. Add more protein to your diet.(Pixabay) Protein sources in Indian diets: Vegetarian protein sources: Pulses and legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, beans, and moong dal; dairy products such as paneer, curd, and milk, which are rich in casein and whey proteins; nuts and seeds, including almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and peanuts, which contain healthy fats; and whole grains, including brown rice, wheat, barley, raagi, oats, quinoa, and millets, which boost amino acids. Non-vegetarian protein sources: This includes eggs and lean sources such as chicken and fish, and mutton is rich in iron and contains high fat. Also read | Are you consuming too much protein? Experts share the safe limits of intake and debunk common myths How much protein do you need? 'On average, adults need 0.8 to 1 gram of protein per kg of body weight per day. However, athletes, pregnant women, or those with higher activity levels may need more,' said Eshanka Wahi.

Irish ace Johnny Kenny tipped for new deal by boss Brendan Rodgers after impressing in Cork City friendly

A LOT has been happening in Cork recently. Roy Keane had three sold-out 'Evenings with…' — while their senior hurling team romped into an All Ireland SHC final with a devastating display against Dublin on Saturday at Croke Park. 2 Johnny Kenny has impressed his boss so far in pre-season 2 Brendan Rodgers' side ran out 2-1 winners to win the Cork Super Cup But it is fair to say yesterday's Cork Super Cup clash between Luke McCowan opened the scoring for Celtic in the first half before Matthew Murray, 17, equalised for the hosts. Donovan was then on hand to net an 87th-minute winner to send most of the 26,518-strong crowd home happy. Read more on League of Ireland Ireland frontman And Rodgers later revealed the club want to offer Kenny a new Parkhead contract. He said: 'We would like to sign him to a new deal. And then we will see what path it takes, whether he stays or whether he needs to go and get games.' Kenny got 45 minutes despite playing with a 'bad' shin injury — with new recruit Hayato Inamura also impressing for the visitors. Rodgers made it clear last week he did not see him being a first-team option just yet and instead saw a possibility of a loan move. Most read in Football But this dazzling display — albeit against a City side without a win since April — will make the Celts manager think again. Rodgers said: 'I always judge players on the pre-season, on how they look and are they going to be capable. I've to say he surprised me.' League of Ireland mascots compete in charity race in Naas But a huge pitch suited pass-daft Celtic. McCowan's 27th-minute strike came after fine build-up by Forrest and Engels before he buried a left-foot shot into the far top corner from 16 yards. Rodgers' changes at the break left the Hoops with virtually a kids' XI, save for the more experienced Ross Doohan, Stephen Welsh and Adam Montgomery. Keeper Doohan, a summer signing from Aberdeen, saved well from both Kit Nelson and Josh Fitzpatrick. But he could do nothing about teenager Murray's equaliser on 67 minutes as he took advantage of hesitancy from Welsh to round Doohan and finish. Welsh had already recovered from treatment when he went down in the 72nd minute and was forced off, his left arm strapped from a shoulder injury. The visiting punters got a first look at new teenage striker Callum Osmand, whose pace was the most eye- catching element of his 45 minutes. But four minutes from the end, Donovan — who started at right-back, went off at half-time and came back on at centre-half for Welsh — pounced from a few yards out to give Celtic the silverware. Celts will now jet to Portugal for a week's training and two games, with the first in Lisbon on Saturday. Meanwhile, City have a fight on their hands to stay up in the Premier Division.
