Free Range Organic Eggs, Grass-Fed/Free Range Chicken, Whole-Raw Dairy, Deep-Sea Water Fresh Fish, Soaked Beans and Nuts are all great sources of Protein. When we are eating these proteins they are able to perform their purpose in our body.
Proteins Roles in the Body:
- Enzymes: Protein molecules that are the managers and catalysts for all biochemical processess
- Antibodies: proteins that help fight infections!! You go Antibodies!
- Hemoglobin: Proteins that regulate our metabolism and almost every other function in the body.
Amino Acids are the building blocks of Proteins. All Proteins are combinations of 20 amino acids, 10 of which are essential and 10 which are not essential.
Eating Protein in a balanced diet with Fats, Carbohydrates, Water, Vitamins and Minerals will allow these Macro and Micro Nutrients to work together and give our bodies the right tools to be and become strong, healthy and vibrant.
I know that we have to have a certain amount of proteins with our carbs and fats but what percentage for each do you think would be best for the average person just trying to improve their health?
ReplyDeleteEverybody is different but a good general basis for most people is 30%proteins, 30%fats, and 40%Carbs.
DeleteThank you for your question.
Another great post! Proteins are great. I remember when I was pregnant the goal was to have 80grams of protein a day, that was tricky! But worth it. Is there a way to calculate how many grams you should get a day, like with water?
