Over 80% of the worlds urban population i
23、s breathing air that fails to meet World Health Organisation guidelines, and an estimated 4.5 million people died 26 from outdoor air pollution in 2015. Globally, urban populations are expected to double in the next 40 years, and an extra 2 billion people will need new places to live, as well as ser

30、e marketing is tempting: Get stronger muscles and healthier bodies with minimal effort byadding protein powder to your morning shake or juice drink. Or grab a protein bar at lunch or fora quick snack. Today, you can find protein supplements everywhere - online or at the pharmacy,grocery store or hea
31、lth food store. They come in powders, pills and bars. With more than $ 12billion in sales this year, the industry is booming and, according to the market research company,Grand View Research, is on track to sell billions more by 2025. But do we really need all thissupplemental protein? It depends. T
32、here are pros, cons and some other things to consider.B For starters, protein is critical for every cell in our body. It helps build nails, hair, bones andmuscles. It can also help you feel fuller longer than eating foods without protein. And, unlikenutrients that are found only in a few foods, prot
33、ein is present in all foods. The typicalAmerican diet is a lot higher in protein than a lot of us think, says registered dietitian AngelaPipitone. Its in foods many of us expect, such as beef, chicken and other types of meat anddairy. But its also in foods that may not come immediately to mind like
34、vegetables, fruit, beansand grains.C The U.S. governments recommended daily allowance (RDA) for the average adult is 50 to 60grams of protein a day. This may sound like a lot, but Pipitone says: We get bits of protein hereand there and that really adds up throughout the day. Take, for example, break
35、fast. If you eattwo eggs topped with a little bit of cheese and an orange on the side, you already have 22 gramsof protein. Each egg gives you 7 grams, the cheese gives you about 6 grams and the orange -about 2 grams. Add a lunch of chicken, rice and broccoli ( iEJ 1t.) , and you are already over th
36、erecommended 50 grams. You can get enough protein and meet the RDA before you even get todinner, says Pipitone.D So if its so easy to get your protein in food, why add more in the form of powders, snack bars ora boost at your local juice bar? No need to, says Pipitone, because, in fact, most of us a
37、lready getenough protein in our diet. Whole foods are always the best option rather than addingsupplements, she says, noting the FDA does not regulate supplements as rigorously as foods ordrugs. So there could be less protein, more sugar and some additives you wouldnt expect, suchas ca ff eine (wlo
38、lzsl).E If you are considering a supplement, read the list of ingredients, she says, although this is notalways reliable. Ive seen very expensive protein supplements that claim to be high quality but第 612页they might not really be beneficial for the average healthy adult, she says. It could just be a
39、 waste of money. F But there are certain situations that do warrant extra protein. Anytime youre repairing orbuilding muscle, Pipitone says, such as if youre an extreme endurance athlete, training for amarathon, or youre a body builder. If youre moderately exercising for 150 minutes a week, asthe Ce
40、nters for Disease Control and Prevention recommends, or less than that, youre probablynot an extreme athlete. Extreme athletes expend lots of energy breaking down and repairing andbuilding muscles. Protein can give them the edge they need to speed that process.G Vegans can benefit from protein suppl
41、ements since they do not eat animal-based protein sourceslike meat, dairy or eggs. And, for someone always on-the-go who may not have time for a meal,a protein snack bar can be a good option for occasional meal replacement. Also, individualsrecovering from surgery or an injury can also benefit from
42、extra protein. So, too, can olderpeople. At around age 60, muscles really start to break down, says Kathryn Starr, an agingresearcher, and because of that, the protein needs of an older adult actually increase.H In fact, along with her colleague Connie Bales, Starr recently conducted a small study t
43、hat foundthat adding extra protein foods to the diet of obese older individuals who were trying to loseweight strengthened their muscles. Participants in the study were separated into two groups -one group was asked to eat 30 grams of protein per meal in the form of whole foods. That meantthey were
44、eating 90 grams of protein a day. The other group - the control group - was put ona typical low-calorie diet with about 50 to 60 grams of protein a day. After six months,researchers found the high protein group had significantly improved their muscle function -almost twice as much as the control gro
45、up. They were able to walk faster, had improvedbalance, and were also able to get up out of a chair faster than the control group, Starr says. All67 participants were over 60 years of age, and both groups lost about the same amount of weight.I Starr is now looking into whether high-protein diets als
46、o improve the quality of the muscle itself inseniors. Shes using CT scans to measure muscle size and fat, and comparing seniors on a highprotein diet to those on regular diets. She says her findings should be available in a couple of months.第 712页J In the meantime, 70-year-old Corliss Keith, who was
47、 in the high protein group in Starrs lateststudy, says she feels a big difference. I feel excellent, she says. I feel like I have a differentbody, I have more energy, Im stronger. She says she is able to take Zumba exercise classes threetimes a week, work out on the treadmill (lle,iJt.), and take lo
48、ng, brisk walks. Keith also lost morethan 15 pounds. Im a fashionable person, so now Im back in my 3-inch heels, she says.K As people age, Starr says muscle strength is key to helping them stay strong and continue livingon their own in their own home. I feel very much alive now, says Keith. I feel l
49、ike I couldstay by myself until Im 100.L But can people overdo protein? Pipitone says you do have to be careful. Other researchers saytoo much protein can cause cramps ( J&.:.f-) , headaches, and fatigue. Dehydration( Jli1.) is also arisk when you eat too much protein. Pipitone says if you increase
50、protein, you also have toincrease your fluid intake. I always tell people to make sure theyre drinking enough fluids,which for the average person is 60 to 70 ounces a day, which translates into eight 8-ounce glassesof water or liquid per day.M There have been some indications that extra protein make
