How much protein do you need every day? Protein is essential to good health. The very origin of the word â from the Greek protos, meaning âfirstâ â reflects proteinâs top-shelf status in human nutrition. You need it to put meat on your bones and to make hair, blood, connective tissue, antibodies, enzymes, and more.
Passport Renewals. Travelers aged 16 and over with an undamaged passport issued in the past 15 years may apply for passport renewal by mail. If your name has changed, you must submit legal proof of the name change with your application. Passport renewals by mail typically take four to six weeks to process.
But some are rushing to get passports anyway (travel.state.gov), adding to congestion in the system. State Department officials say another reason to renew soon is that many countries are now enforcing a requirement for at least six monthsâ validity on a United States passport.
