While protein is essential for muscle repair and body functions, excessive intake can lead to health issues. Long-term high-protein diets, especially from red meat, can increase heart disease risks and strain kidneys. Experts warn that people with pre-existing kidney conditions should avoid high protein levels to prevent further damage. A lack of balance with fiber, vitamins, and minerals can cause digestive issues like constipation.
