From this perspective, there seems to be a connection between lots of protein and bad for the kidneys. Protein overdose sign #2: Digestive problems Lots of protein can cause serious digestive problems such as bloating, constipation and stomach pain. Always remember that every body reacts differently and individual symptoms can occur. Protein overdose sign #3: Dehydration If you consume too much protein at the same time, this can put increased strain on your kidneys because your body needs more water to break down and excrete the protein. In order to get excess protein back out of the body, it needs to be flushed out. Protein Overdose Sign #4: Weight Gain Having a high protein content in the diet is often the key to weight loss. Proteins can have a high satiating effect and can help you feel full for longer. However, if you consume too much protein, you can also consume too many calories that your body can store as fat. Protein Overdose Sign #5: Skin Problems and Fatigue Proteins are known to be an important component of our skin. Proteins such as collagen and elastin are responsible for keeping our skin firm and elastic, so getting enough protein is important to keep our skin healthy. When we consume too much protein, it can lead to increased strain on our kidneys, as they have to break down the excess protein and excrete it from our body. When our kidneys are overwhelmed, they cannot filter the toxins effectively, which can lead to a buildup of waste. These can accumulate in our body and lead to skin problems such as acne. Several pimples suddenly appearing in quick succession can therefore be a warning sign. ▬ About this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ With “Video Visit Dr. Weigl” you have found the current and medical-scientific channel that describes topics relating to pain, #medicine and #health in an understandable way but based on facts, guidelines and studies. ▬ Even more videos ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Doctor reacts: Do we need protein shakes for muscle growth?: https://bit.ly/ReactionProteinshakes_...
