3. A study by IMRB and several other
studies by NIN, ICMR says that
majority Indians both Vegs & Non
Vegs are affected with protenemia
(protein deficiency) astonishingly 9
out of every 10 Indians are suffering
with this problem. If you realize
their importance then you realize
the seriousness of the deficiency.
4. This is a dangerous situation. There
is a myth that vegetarians are more
prone to protein deficiency. But the
survey proved it otherwise the
problem is severe in both groups.
This is crippling the nation. It is
very important that we must know
what we are taking daily for our
better quality of health
5. The nationwide study covering
Ahemadabad, Delhi, Mumbai,
Chennai, Vijawada and Kolkatta
covering 1300 people from various
professions aged between 18 & 72
yrs both sexes. 41% Vegs, 59% Non
Vegs revealed that 90% are
reported to have protenemia. This
needs a serious attention of us.
6. 91% of vegs & 85% non vegs shown
protein deficiency in the study. So
the problem is not confined to vegs
only.
One article in BMJ published says
Indians eat more fats, high caloric
food neglecting proteins. Both
groups must be conscious about
proper protein intake.
7. We need Carbs, Proteins and fats in
large qtys for body growth and daily
functions. Also we need Vits, Mins in
minute qtys. Hence balanced diet is
very crucial for our overall well being.
Carbs give energy, Fats help in bio
functions & proteins are main source
for muscles, bones & skin Proteins

body weight. Children, pregnant,
lactating mother, post operatively,
labor, convalescent need about 1.5
gm/ Kg body weight in 24 hrs from
variety of food sources.
Supplements have to be taken for
short period only under expert

11. Avoid: Fast, junk, bakery, fried, spicy
tinned foods contain little protein.
Take: Boiled Chena, Ground nuts Soya,
Chikkudu, beans, flax seeds sweet
potato are good natural source of
proteins.
Egg & Milk are good only for growing
children. Plant proteins preferred to
animal proteins for metabolization
process
12. Avoid Excess proteins intake that
may cause kidney problems, excess
uric acid, fat accumulation in the
body. More water has to be
consumed for better assimilation of
proteins by the body.
