JAKARTA - Protein is an important nutrient in our diet, and its deficiencies can lower immunity, damage hair and skin, lose muscle mass, and cause fatigue.

However, too much protein is as dangerous as too few proteins. A high diet of protein can cause dehydration and it is important to add enough fiber and water intake. Many people may experience digestive problems if their diet is high in protein but low in fiber.

Nutritionist Juhi Kapoor revealed six potential high-on-province diet losses, reported on the Hindustan Times website, Wednesday, September 27.

1. Kidney tension

Excessive protein intake can put extra stress on the kidneys, which has the potential to cause kidney problems in individuals who already have previous kidney problems.

2. Dehydration

A high protein diet can increase water loss through urine, which has the potential to cause dehydration if you don't increase water intake.

3. Nutrition imbalance

Too focused on protein can cause neglect of other important nutrients such as carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

4. digestive problems

Some may experience digestive discomfort, including constipation, when consuming very high amounts of protein.

5. Bone health

Excessive protein intake can cause calcium loss through urine, which has the potential to have an impact on bone health over time.

6. Potential weight gain

Consuming too many calories, even from protein sources, can lead to weight gain, especially if you don't pay attention to overall calorie intake.

Although a high diet of protein has benefits, it causes some potential losses if consumed too much. Complete your high diet of protein by balancing other important nutrients such as carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, so as not to cause complications
