Experts Say This High-Protein Food Will Also Improve Your Gut Health
From supporting muscle repair to supplying you with steady energy, protein plays a key role in helping your body function at its best. This powerhouse macronutrient is a true multitasker for your health at any age. In fact, every cell and tissue in your body needs protein to do its job. 'Protein is essential for muscle growth, bone health, tissue development, immunity, enzyme function and so much more,' says Lauren Twigge, M.C.N., R.D.N., L.D., owner of Lauren Twigge Nutrition. 'Adequate protein intake is also vital for maintaining your metabolism and supporting a healthy weight.' Another bonus? Protein digests more slowly than carbohydrates, which helps you feel fuller, longer. In other words, you'll feel genuinely fueled throughout the day and won't be constantly fighting off cravings, explains Twigge. Of course, not all protein is created equal. Choosing high-quality, gut-friendly sources is a win-win for your protein goals and digestive system. Next time you hit the grocery store, keep an eye out for these foods that are both high in protein and beneficial for your gut health. Don't let their tiny size fool you: These legumes are nutritional powerhouses! Rich in plant-based protein and prebiotic fiber, lentils help nourish the good bacteria in your gut. Just packs around 9 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber (not to mention other essential vitamins and minerals such as iron and potassium). Lentils are also budget-friendly and incredibly versatile. 'I encourage people to try different types of lentils. They all offer slightly different phytonutrients, which are plant compounds that help with everything from maintaining good cellular health to reducing inflammation,' explains Lindsay Malone, M.S., R.D.N., L.D., an instructor of nutrition at Case Western Reserve University. Want to boost digestibility? Malone recommends first soaking lentils and then using a pressure cooker. This helps reduce lectins, which are substances that can cause irritation in the gut for some people. Thanks to its blend of probiotics, calcium and protein, Greek yogurt earns a top spot on our list of gut-friendly protein picks. Its straining process concentrates the protein, making it higher in protein (and lower in sugar) than regular yogurt. 'Probiotics are friendly bacteria that help balance the gut flora, support digestion and boost your immunity against infections,' says Malone. 'We already naturally have some good gut bacteria living in our bodies as part of our gut microbiome. Eating foods rich in probiotics, such as Greek yogurt, helps add to and strengthen that existing colony.' Want to be a probiotic pro? Choose yogurt with 'live and active cultures' on the label. For even more gut goodness, you can also top it with your own fruits, nuts and seeds. With so many ways to enjoy Greek yogurt (sweet, savory, the sky's the limit!), it's easy to incorporate into your regular rotation without getting bored. If you're not a fan of the taste of Greek yogurt, Malone recommends trying cottage cheese. It's another good-for-your-gut protein option with a milder flavor. Wild fatty fish should be on every gut-supporting plate, according to dietitians. They're a great source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function and help reduce inflammation. 'Omega-3s have anti-inflammatory properties that can calm and soothe your gut. And since fish is a soft protein, it's much easier to digest than tougher protein sources like steak,' says Malone. 'Salmon, sardines and mackerel are all excellent options.' The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of fatty fish per week. If you're not a fish-lover, Malone suggests adding hemp seeds to your diet for an omega-3 boost. Made from fermented soybeans, tempeh is a protein- and fiber-packed food that doesn't get nearly enough love. A contains around 20 grams of protein. Think of it as tofu's firmer, more hearty cousin with even more nutrition benefits thanks to the fermentation process. This versatile plant-based meat alternative, which contains both probiotics and prebiotics, is great in everything from sandwiches and stir-fries to salads and grain bowls. And here's a bonus for vegetarians: It contains vitamin B12, a nutrient typically found in animal products. Eggs continue to earn their reputation as a 'perfect food.' delivers about six grams of highly digestible protein (mostly from the egg whites), but the benefits don't stop there. The yolk is rich in choline — an essential nutrient that supports both gut health and brain cognition — as well as selenium, lutein and zeaxanthin. Eggs also contain all nine essential amino acids, including glutamine, which plays a key role in maintaining and repairing the intestinal lining. This can help prevent 'leaky gut,' or increased intestinal permeability. One of the best things about eggs? They're delicious any time of day — breakfast, lunch or dinner! Just delivers a solid 8 grams of protein, earning it a spot on our list. You already know milk is a great source of calcium, but it's also considered a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids that your body can't produce on its own. 'Milk is also a great dietary source of vitamin D, which has been shown to play a critical role in maintaining gut health by reducing inflammation and supporting the gut microbiome,' says Twigge. More good news for your gut: A recent study found that people who consumed more dairy — especially milk — had greater diversity in their gut bacteria, which plays a crucial role in overall wellbeing. The recommends 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, but it's not necessarily a 'one size fits all' guideline. Everyone's protein needs vary depending on factors like your age, activity level and goals. 'There are many resources that can help you calculate your own protein needs (such as this online calculator), but I like to start by recommending a goal of at least 10 grams of protein per snack and 20 to 30 grams of protein per meal to help you hit your protein goals throughout the day,' says Twigge. Malone's motto is 'Anchor your meals with protein' — a simple reminder to incorporate protein into each meal without overthinking your daily amount. She recommends spreading out protein evenly throughout the day instead of lumping it all into one big meal. While getting enough protein is important, it shouldn't come at the cost of a balanced diet. 'Rather than focusing on protein alone, aim to increase your intake as part of a well-rounded diet that is also rich in healthy fats, fiber, vitamins and minerals,' says Twigge. 'This supports your body's overall health and makes the benefits of including more protein even more impactful.' Also, remember that some protein sources are better than others. For example, most nutrition experts say it's best to prioritize protein sources that are low in both saturated fat and processed carbohydrates but rich in many nutrients. Not all gut-friendly foods are high in protein, but many still offer important health benefits. Fermented foods and drinks such as some kefir, kimchi, kombucha, and sauerkraut products can provide probiotics that help support a balanced gut microbiome (it depends on how they're processed, so look for 'contains live cultures' on the label to reap the benefits). Prebiotics, on the other hand, help feed those good bacteria. Fiber-rich foods such as beans, whole grains, garlic, onions, asparagus and seaweed — and of course, fruits and veggies — are all excellent additions to a gut-friendly diet. There's no shortage of delicious ways to get your protein in — and this list is just a starting point. By choosing options that also offer benefits like probiotic bacteria, prebiotic fiber and anti-inflammatory compounds, you can truly nourish your body from the inside out.

Gary man charged with taking over vacant Winfield home for his family
A 35-year-old Gary man has been charged with burglary and unlawfully carrying a handgun after he illegally took control of a vacant Winfield home and converted it for use by him and his family. Devonte Daquan Malone was arrested on Tuesday and is in custody at the Lake County Jail. Malone has been charged by the Lake County Prosecutor's Office with two felonies: burglary and unlawful carrying of a handgun, and four misdemeanors, criminal trespass, resisting law enforcement, theft, and possession of marijuana, according to a release from Winfield Police. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is assisting Winfield Police with the investigation. Police said that on Sunday a real estate agent was preparing to show a house to a prospective buyer near Price Street and 104th Place and thought it was odd that the 'For Sale' sign was missing, the Realtor lockbox on the door was removed and the front door locks to the house had been replaced. When the Realtor knocked on the door, a man answered and told the Realtor the house was no longer for sale. The Realtor called the listing agent to inquire about why the house, listed at $415,000, was still an active listing if it had already been sold. The listing agent knew right away something was wrong and notified Winfield Police. Winfield police canvassed the neighborhood as part of their investigation and were told by residents that the new homeowners had moved into the house two to three weeks earlier. According to Winfield Police Chief Robert Byrd, 'Because of the genuine concern and helpful cooperation of those residents, police were able to gain a substantial amount of information to further the investigation.' 'We certainly appreciate the assistance of our residents in helping us solve this crime and we remind everyone to always call the police whenever they see something suspicious,' Byrd said. Malone identified himself as a sovereign citizen who serves as Minister and Chief Trustee of the Devine Dominion Magna Trust Property of Merrillville. He provided self-made Sovereign Real Estate Redemption forms and Notice of Non-Consent to Statutory Jurisdiction documents to the police to show that he lawfully possessed the residence. Police removed multiple firearms, 458 grams of marijuana products, and several computers from the residence, according to the release. Anyone with additional information is asked to call the Winfield Police Department at 219-779-9326.

It's somewhat serendipitous that one of Heleena Norvette's favorite Post Malone songs is 'Pour Me a Drink' because the global superstar paid for hers during her birthday festivities last weekend. Norvette was celebrating her 41st birthday when Post Malone covered her tab — and everyone else's — while the 'Circles' singer grabbed a drink at Blind Duck at Raffles Hotel in Boston on Friday night, May 30.

It wasn't like he had a ton of security or entourage with him or anything,' Norvette said. She added that Malone was 'willing to take photos with people,' but she and her friend decided to play it cool and tried not 'to be a groupie' despite Norvette being a big fan. Malone's kindness was exemplified when Norvette got her bill, which the 'Better Now' singer had already paid for. He did the same for the other 10 people who were in the bar during the short span of time that Malone was there. 'You hear some celebs are real a**holes and then some are amazing and you just never know,' Norvete said. 'But he was being so nice and cordial to everybody and it showed when he cleared the bill for everyone.' Norvette added how Malone paying for her birthday drink was 'such a great start to my new year.'
