\nEggs, meat, dairy, soy products, daIs, lentils and pulses are important sources of protein. Try and incorporate some protein source at every meal, to increase your metabolic rate and maintain body composition<\/p>\n
\nOmega 3 fatty acids present in oily fish, nuts and oilseeds, are important to fight with everyday stress and keep body inflammation at bay.<\/p>\n
