Protein is needed in the body daily to replace sources that have been broken down naturally. If too little is consumed, growth can be compromised. If too much is consumed, then it may have negative effects on cardiac health and can increase chances for certain types of cancer.

∙ 14y agoProtein is used primarily for growth and healing, so people who suffer from a deficiency of protein will not be able to grow or heal as easily, possibly not at all, depending upon the degree of deficiency. In extreme cases, protein deficiency causes a condition called kwashiorkor (an African word) in which the internal organs migrate to the center of the abdomen, creating a bulging, round stomach, while the rest of the body becomes very thin (muscles get cannibalized for their protein content) giving a very odd appearance. The next step is death by starvation.
