- Brain fog
It is very important to consume the right amount of protein to support healthy brain function. If you lack the motivation to learn, have poor memory, or have trouble learning new things, you’re lacking protein. A study suggests that dopamine, epinephrine, and serotonin are neurotransmitters your body needs to focus on.
According to the USDA, the recommended minimum daily protein intake is 56 grams per day for adults, 46 grams per day for women, and for children, it ranges from 19 to 34 grams per day, depending on age. This may be different if you are pregnant or sick.
