Wind is moving air and is caused by differences in air pressure within our atmosphere. Air under high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure. The greater the difference in pressure, the faster the air flows.
Story at-a-glance 1  +. Most Americans consume three to five times more protein than they need, along with excessive starchy carbs and not enough healthy fats. 2  A more ideal protein intake is likely around one-half gram of protein per pound of lean body mass, which for most is 40 to 70 grams a day. 3  Examples are given.
Recommendations vary but according to the American Dietetic Association, most active adults only need 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram (1 kg = 2.2 pounds) of body weight per day. So a person who weighs 125 pounds needs 45 to 57 grams of protein in a day. Females need less protein than males, and serious athletes might need a little more protein â But not a lot more! Studies have shown that protein use is no higher during exercise than under resting conditions.
