Why Protein is Vital to Your Health
Protein has many roles in our body that
other macronutrients simply cannot do on their own. Appropriate
amounts of protein are needed for tissue growth and maintenance.
Protein is needed for the many essential
tasks such as:
- Proper development of the fetus
- Production of human milk
- Healing of a wound, and the growth of nails and hair.
As for tissue maintenance, protein is perpetually engaged
in replacing amino acids used in the muscle tissue, blood,
skin, internal organs, and connective tissue.
This process of amino acid degradation and reconstruction
is called protein turnover. Another role of proteins is to
help in the production of enzymes and some hormones as well.
One example is insulin which is the hormone that regulates
blood glucose levels. Even our immune system's antibodies
are composed of proteins. Certain proteins have the job of
transporting nutrients and other substances through the bloodstream.
An excellent example would be hemoglobin, our body's iron-rich
protein in charge of delivering oxygen from our lungs to all
of our body's tissues. Even lipoproteins depend on proteins
to help them burn fat...
