Protein

In this episode we discuss different types of protein intake, the advantages and disadvantages of high protein diets, and the optimal amount of protein consumption for different age groups. As always, consult a dietitian to find healthy, affordable, and easy ways to incorporate a wide variety of protein sources, especially if you have other chronic health issues.
