Protein is in every cell in your body. No other nutrient has as many responsibilities in keeping you healthy and alive. Protein plays a major role in the repair of muscles ,tendens,ligaments,bones,hair,eyes and almost every other tissue in your body.
When your body is fighting off infection you need to eat more protein because it is involved in the creation of antibodies that fight infection. The lack of protein in your body can cause low levels of enzymes and hormones you need for digestion and other body processes. When you become injured your body needs more protein to make repairs
The building blocks of proteins are amino acids. Nine of theses amino acids are essential and must be gotten from food. the remaining 13 other amino acids are non essential because your body can make them.
The best forms of protein can be gotten from anything that runs swims or has a face. The second best form of proteins can come from beans,peanuts and legumes. These are incomplete proteins because they lack some essential amino acids
Protein along with a large quantity of fruits and vegetables will help keep your body young, strong healthy and fit.
