what is protein?
Behind water, protein is the most abundant substance in your body. Protein is made up of amino acids. When you digest food that contains protein your body breaks the protein down in to these amino acids.
When food is being digested the body selects the amino acids that are needed for a specific function and they are absorbed though the large intestine. There are 20 amino acids, each can be strung together in a different order in the body and this produces the different proteins. These proteins are needed to help develop and maintain your muscles and organs; in fact most of the bodies functions are reliant on there being enough protein.
Protein is not stored in the body in the same way as fats or carbohydrates so it is important that you regularly consume enough protein.
Without enough protein your body cannot function correctly. You may experience more illness, muscle atrophy and you will feel generally more run down. The correct amount of protein on the other hand assists in the building and maintenance of all body tissues and helps in the creation of enzymes and antibodies which are essential for all over body health.
why does the body need protein?
Protein is absorbed in to the body and broken down in to amino acids; this is essential for the correct Running of your body.
However out of the 20 amino acids that the body uses, only 11 can be produced by the body itself, these are called 'non-essential'.
The other 9 that must come from our food are called 'essential' and as the name suggests it is essential that we must get these amino acids through our diet.
So, our bodies need protein from food or supplementation to function correctly.
A complete protein is a source of protein that will contain all the essential amino acids the body needs, whereas an incomplete protein source will not. Examples of complete proteins are usually animal products such as meat. Incomplete proteins are usually found in plant sources such as seeds or nuts. Combining some of these incomplete protein sources will give you a meal that contains all the essential amino acids.
