A female bodybuilder dies after consuming too much protein

News24xx.com - Many people who want to stay fit with always keep a protein in their body, with drinking a protein shake in the morning.

However, too much of anything is never good.

25-year-old Meegan Hefford was found unconscious in her apartment in Mandurah. She was rushed to the hospital, where she later died.

Meegan wasn’t sick.

As a matter of fact, she was an Australian bodybuilder, whose body and life inspired many to change to a healthy lifestyle. However, what caused her death should be an eye-opener to many people who work out.

According to reports, the mother of two had intensified her gym regime, and started a strict diet earlier in the year to prepare for a bodybuilding competition.

She then told her family that she was feeling a bit tired and weird just weeks before her sudden death. It was later revealed that the deceased, Meegan Hefford, 25, had a genetic disorder which prevented her from breaking down the proteins that she consumed.

Her mother, Michelle White, couldn’t believe what happened to her daughter:
“I couldn’t believe what the doctors were telling me, she was dying.

“Losing Meegan, it’s so awful and I still can’t believe she’s gone but I have to focus on the positives — that at least I had 25 years with her.”

Ms Hefford family now calling for more restrictions on the diet industry and advocating for more warnings to be put out in relation to high-protein diets.
