Why Do We Need Protein?

Everyone needs protein to build new cells and repair any damaged tissues. Without protein the body cannot function well and muscles in particular suffer.
Generally people think about protein coming from animal meat, but milk, eggs, fish, cheese are all good forms of protein. This is because the body can use most of the protein absorbed from these sources.
Plant proteins such as that from grains, cereals, fruit etc are all incomplete proteins and so they need to be supplemented with foods which have a more complete protien source.
Food which are high in amino acids are the best protein source, since amino acids determine how much of the protein can be used by the body. Half of amino acids need to be supplied in the food, the other half can be synthesized within the body from the acids already eaten. Those richest in amino acids are meat, fish, eggs and milk, so at least some of these should be eaten daily.

We need protein, it is vital for the growth, repair and maintenance of the body. The growth or your hair, skin and nails rely on protein. It builds new cells. Without it, our body can't function properly and our muscles will suffer.

• Protein is necessary for building and repair of body tissues.
• It produces enzymes, hormones, and other substances the body uses.
• It regulates body processes, such as water balancing, transporting nutrients, and making muscles contract.
• Protein keeps the body healthy by resisting diseases that are common to malnourished people.
• Prevents one from becoming easily fatigued by producing stamina and energy.

Protein is found in muscles, bone, haemoglobin, hormones, antibodies, and enzymes, and makes up about 45% of the human body. Muscle is approximately 70% water and only about 20% protein. Therefore, increasing muscle mass requires extra water, extra energy in the form of carbohydrates (to maintain the needs of that extra muscle), and a little extra protein

We need protein to stay alive and without it our body will not be able to create new cells and repair tissues in the body.
Our hair, skin and nails grow but they rely on protein to grow.

Good forms of protein are..
Milk
eggs
cheese
and fish.

Protein is for growth and repair .

We need protein to make new cells and repair our tissues. We also need this to build muscles.

To build new cells and repair damaged tissues.

Everyone needs protein to build new cells and repair any damaged tissues.

Build muscle and repair muscle

To be able to digest also to be able to keep a healthy bone structure

We need proteins in our body for building our muscles and also promote our growth children NEED it for growth pregnant women

It's simply because proteins builds,repairs,and maintains,tissues....also helps build muscles and promotes growthChildren need it for growthPregnant women need it for building tissuesElderly need it for repairing tissuesEx: Fish, eggs, milk, beef, soybean products, wheat products

To build, maintain and repair our muscles.

Well so we can survive. WE JUST DO OK

I love proteins.....
