There is often a lot of confusion about proteins and their functions in the human body. Here is some insight into the most basic concepts within this food group.
Proteins make up most of the cell tissues in the body. These tissues are constantly being broken down and replaced as we carry out normal daily routines. Proteins contain amino acids that are used in repairing the body. Amino acids come in two types: there are essential amino acids and non-essential amino acids. The body is unable to make the essential amino acids so they must be provided by the food we eat.
Proteins are usually evaluated depending on amino acid levels. Proteins that contain all the essential amino acids are known as complete proteins. Complete proteins include animal-based proteins such as eggs, meat, fish, milk and cheese, among others. The incomplete proteins on the other hand, carry only some amino acids.
Although proteins are important for the body, most people don’t know just how much protein is enough. As a result, most people consume more protein than their body requires. The trick to consuming the right amount of protein is not to be too conscious about whether or not you are getting enough. You need to eat a wide variety of foods, allowing the possibility of taking in more nutrients and in the process, consuming most of the protein that is required by the body. This creates a balance in the body. Having such a diet will ensure that you do not over emphasize proteins and you are able to lead a healthy lifestyle.
