Abstract:
Animal-sourced foods, such as meats, poultry, eggs, milk, and fish are nutrient-dense foods that are rich sources of protein, essential amino acids, and micronutrients that can be challenging to obtain solely through plant-based foods. Animal-sourced protein foods provide crucial nutrients that support the growth and development in children, maintenance of muscle mass and function in adults, gain in muscle mass and strength in exercising individuals, and mitigation of sarcopenia in the elderly. The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans have identified the important role of animal-sourced foods in the diet at every stage of life. Animal-sourced foods are consumed worldwide and contribute to global food security.
摘要:
动物性食品,比如肉类,家禽,鸡蛋,牛奶,鱼是营养丰富的食物,富含蛋白质,必需氨基酸,以及仅通过植物性食品获取可能具有挑战性的微量营养素。动物来源的蛋白质食物提供了支持儿童生长发育的关键营养素,维持成人的肌肉质量和功能,锻炼个体的肌肉质量和力量的增加,和减轻老年人的肌肉减少症。《2020-2025年美国人饮食指南》已经确定了动物性食品在生活每个阶段的饮食中的重要作用。动物来源的食品在全球范围内消费,并有助于全球粮食安全。
