Protein for Immunity & Gut Health
A healthy immune system begins with a healthy body. It maintains homoeostasis by defending against viruses and bacteria, which can cause inflammation, illness and disease.
To have a strong immune system you need a daily supply of quality protein.
Research studies have shown that deficiency of high-quality protein can result in depletion of immune cells, inability to make antibodies, and other immune-related problems.
This is incredibly important to remember during pregnancy and postpartum.
Why ?
As protein is pretty much the building block of life.
Every cell in yours and your baby’s growing body requires protein. Just think about all the cells that are growing during pregnancy, or healing post birth, protein is a major nutrient so supplies to support this must be adequate.
Even marginally low protein intake may impair immune function. An increase of 34% protein is required when a bub is growing inside your or during breastfeeding and healing post birth !
Now eating an extra steak or a dozen daily eggs is often not ideal if you are tired and nauseous. So to meet the daily protein requirements I highly recommend a #nonasties pregnancy and breastfeeding safe protein supplement. And yes..one that I personally trusted was hard to come by !!!
