10 Protein Deficiency Symptoms

Symptom #9: Moodiness and Brain Fog
Proteins are made of amino acids; the same as neurotransmitters, which control moods. Proteins are essential for the synthesis of dopamine and serotonin. These hormones are responsible for good moods. The opposite is also true. Low-protein intake leads to bad moods.
Protein is also an essential component for many brain functions including concentration and memory. This is why things like low concentration, brain fog, lack of excitement, and learning difficulty are signs of neurotransmitter problems. Studies show that following a balanced diet that provides the body with its requirements of proteins is essential for boosting brain functions and subsequently for general performance.
