Don’t forget to document your journey on Instagram and tag #DitchDairyChallenge. Protein facts How Much Protein Do I Need? Recommended Daily Amount = 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight (or 0.4 grams per pound) FUN FACTS If you’re eating a 2,000-calories-a-day diet and only ate broccoli, you’d get 146 grams of protein per day! Even a full day’s worth of plain mashed potatoes would give you 42 grams of protein per day. TOO MUCH Too much protein can stress the liver and kidneys. PROTEIN It can also cause stomach issues, bad breath, and weight gain. Proteins are made of 22 amino acids or “building blocks.” Our bodies can produce 13 of these, and 9 we synthesize from food (like plants). What Are Complete Proteins? Complete proteins contain all 9 essential amino acids that our body cannot make. Thankfully, If you eat enough calories and a variety of plant-based foods, you don’t have to worry! But, if you’re curious: tofu, tempeh, edamame, soy milk, quinoa, hemp seeds, and chia seeds (which is really just the beginning!).

Most COVID-19 inpatients (58–95%) received empiric antibiotics to prevent the increased mortality due to ventilator-associated pneumonia and other secondary infections observed in COVID-19 patients. The expected consequences of increased antibiotic use include antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) and Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI). We reviewed the literature (January 2020–March 2021) to explore strategies to reduce these consequences. Antimicrobial stewardship programs were effective in controlling antibiotic use during past influenza epidemics and have also been shown to reduce healthcare-associated rates of CDI. Another potential strategy is the use of specific strains of Citation: Kullar, R.; Johnson, S.; probiotics shown to be effective for the prevention of AAD and CDI prior to the pandemic.

    Press Release – Cuijk, the Netherlands, March 25, 2019 Danone opens new sustainable Nutricia plant in the Netherlands to meet growing, global demand for specialized infant formula • €240 million facility in Cuijk is among Danone’s largest investments in its European production network in the last ten years, building on the Netherland’s agricultural heritage and Nutricia’s scientific capabilities • Plant will produce highly specialized infant formula – including formula for specific health conditions, and will employ close to 500 employees once fully operational • State-of-the-art, sustainable, zero-waste facility powered with 100% renewable electricity Today, Danone proudly announces the official opening of its new Nutricia Cuijk production facility. The opening ceremony, taking place in the presence of a broad range of stakeholders, including the Minister of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, Carola Schouten, as well as industry and healthcare representatives, marks the completion of a three-year journey to build a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient, zero- waste plant.
