The best way to keep your body in good condition is not to self-medicate. Instead of prescribing pills, potions and vitamins, it is better to have a medical examination once a year.

But sometimes a person thinks that everything is fine with him and there is no need to hang around the clinics. In this case, you need to monitor the body's signals.

Here's what can happen if you find that your diet doesn't have enough protein.

We get sick often

The immune system may be the first to react to a lack of protein. Having been vaccinated against the flu or other illnesses, but having spent the entire season on sick leave, you need to think about adjusting your diet.

We feel tired

If it is constant fatigue and weakness, then this is also a reason to think about whether our body has enough of everything. If there is not enough protein, then the body begins to break down muscles, which causes fatigue even after a long rest.

Mood swings

If the feeling of anxiety changes to irritability, then this can also be a consequence of a lack of protein.

Against this background, problems with nails (they will become brittle), hair may begin, the skin will become less smooth, and you may also often feel hungry.

In addition, a sure sign of protein deficiency is a decrease in the level of hemoglobin in the blood, loss of muscle mass, thinness, slow-healing wounds and scratches, problems with attention and memory.

In such cases, it is even more necessary to seek medical help.
