Rinsing canned beans under cold, running water before using them in food preparation can reduce the sodium content of the beans by about 50%. True/False?

Consuming excess dietary protein is a good strategy to build muscle mass. True/False?

Two complementary proteins must be eaten in the same meal to provide adequate essential amino acids for protein synthesis. True/False?

Answer 1

1. True
The paleo diet recommends for intake of Salmon, tuna, halibut, whitefish, Meat and eggs all of these are complete proteins, it also stresses lean nuts, seeds, fresh fruits and vegetables.
2. True
current RDA for protein is 0.8 g/kg/d. But According to sports nutrition consensus protein recommendations for endurance athletes has to be 1.2–1.4 g protein/kg/d.
3. True
Rinsing and draining with cold water for about 10 seconds and 2 to 3 minutes respectively can reduce the amount of sodium in canned food for up to 42% which is very near to the value 50%
4. True
Consuming excess dietary protein is a good strategy to build muscle mass but with addition to one should also need to add more calories or exercise as a part of diet otherwise simply taking food with excess dietary protein will not help.
5. False
To provide adequate essential amino acids for protein synthesis it is enough to take high protein rich. plant foods eaten over the course of a day can provide all essential amino acids therefore the complementary proteins do not need to be consumed at the same meal so as to provide adequate essential amino acids for protein synthesis.
