Proteins

PROTEINS!! I know I'm Pro....Proteins!! They are the building blocks of the body and our body uses them to form organs, nerves, muscles, and flesh......So, yeah, I'd say they are pretty Important and essential to our body!

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.
