Why Do We Need Protein
Most of us understand that protein is very necessary for good health, but we might not understand exactly why. In order to know why protein is necessary, it’s probably helpful to look at how the body produces and processes amino acids. Inside the body, we make non essential amino acids. When we eat food that are high in amino acids, food like fish, other meats, eggs, and milk, they combine with the non essential amino acids in the body to make a perfect combination. It’s clear that we’re programmed to eat this way, and it’s rather interesting to see how it actually works, like two partners coming together in a dance.
We can see how the body creates protein, but we may not understand why. Protein is the necessary element to promote growth in the muscles, skin, and brain. This is what helps the body to repair itself. We are always in a constant act of creation, where old cells die off and new ones come to life, and a healthy body can move through this process very easily. To keep the system going, we need to continue to eat protein. People generally think about muscle growth here, but it’s very important to remember that a lot of the body’s systems are affected by protein. Just as some athletes will want to load up on protein before physical exertion, there are brainy people who load up before an exam, or a project where they need all their senses.
Everyone needs protein, essentially. It is one of the great building blocks of the body. We get protein through the foods mentioned above, but there are also ways of getting protein without consuming animal products. Here it is a good idea to have some knowledge of how food combining works. For example, rice and beans form a perfect bond, and when eaten together, it’s a protein as complete and as useable as a hunk of meat or cheese. It’s necessary to know how to get enough protein, but it’s also necessary to know what is too much. An excess of what the body needs, above 46 and 56 grams for women and men, respectively, and the protein-rich foods turn to fat. Avoiding fanaticism, then, is the best way to go, while being conscious of getting the building blocks of life working in your own bloodstream.
