Beans, nuts, soybeans and cabbage can promote the collection of muscle mass no worse than meat products. To such an unexpected conclusion came scientists from the University of Massachusetts. They also reported that proteins from vegetable products reduce the risk of death for any reason, according to an online edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net In a study published in the Journal of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, scientists analyzed data on the diet of 2,986 people. 82% of volunteers received the recommended daily protein norm. After examining the diet of the participants, the specialists identified 6 food models that differ in the main sources of protein: fast food and fatty dairy products, fish, red meat, chicken, low-fat dairy products and legumes. Also scientists evaluated muscle mass, strength and density of bone tissue of volunteers.

The study showed that participants who consumed the most protein, the muscle mass and the strength of the quadriceps femoris were the highest. The greatest amount of protein per person weighing 70 kilograms was 126 grams, and the smallest - 52 grams. At the same time, the food model did not influence the results. That is, the protein from legumes was just as useful and also promoted muscle growth, like red meat protein. In addition, consumption of vegetable protein reduced the likelihood of death from cardiovascular disease by 12%, and death for any reason - by 10%.
