Conversely, upping my protein intake at the suggestion of my doctor has led to me being significantly healthier in my late 40s than I was in my 30s
Because you need some protein. So getting the appropriate amount is necessary for health. But the excessive consumption which is recently trending in the US and the rest of the West is not good for anybody but the ocmpanies producing that shit.
I think we need better education on what an appropriate amount is - I live in a fairly hippy world, lots of veggie peeps, and it’s noticeable that you can be eating super-healthily without getting enough protein to keep muscle on as you age, so especially the girls have found that upping their protein intake (consciously and within a decent diet) has made a fair bit of difference. Man cannot live on salad alone, as the prophet said.
Likely because you had too many carbs in your diet.
North Americans simply eat too much.
I’m in the uk, and was mainly veggie.
