Lack of protein in the diet can lead to muscle wasting, weakened immune function, and delayed recovery from illness or injury, as well as conditions like kwashiorkor in severe cases. Conversely, excess protein intake can strain the kidneys, lead to dehydration, and increase the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular issues due to higher saturated fat consumption often associated with protein sources. Balancing protein intake is essential for maintaining overall health.
