Gastroenterologist Anastasia Timoschenko: a sufficient amount of protein is necessary for the growth of muscle tissue.
Gastroenterologist Anastasia Timoschenko named eggs among the best foods for muscle growth.
“A sufficient amount of protein is necessary for muscle growth. The best protein products are eggs, dairy products, fish and seafood – this is the most easily digestible protein,” explained the doctor NEWS.ru.
Speaking about meat as a source of protein, doctor Timoschenko clarified: you should eat red meat no more than twice a week. In addition, to strengthen and grow muscles, the expert advised eating poultry.
The expert added that legumes and cereals also provide protein in the human diet. Therefore, it will be useful to include buckwheat and whole oats, beans, chickpeas and green peas in the menu.
Why it is important to strengthen muscles.Developed and strong muscles during physical activity release myokines – proteins involved in the production of insulin and suppress the development of certain tumor cells. Also, muscles are the main consumers of glucose – their good condition reduces the risk of developing insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic disorders. Strengthening them prevents age-related sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass), which accelerates the deterioration of the body due to aging.
