Protein is one of the most important components of food. It renders as a vital source of energy in the growth and development of the human body. Various amino acids join together by peptide bonds and form a complex structure known as protein. Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur are the notable elements which are present in protein. Hormones, antibodies and enzymes are considered as proteins as well. Generally, proteins are organic compounds composed of amino acids via peptide bonds.
Proteins are divided into essential and non-essential proteins based on the capacity of the human body to produce them. Essential proteins are obtained from external sources and non-essential proteins are produced within the body. Foods (Animal foods) that contain all the essential proteins are called complete proteins, whereas, foods (Plant foods) that do not contain all the essential proteins are called incomplete proteins.
Importance of Proteins in the Body
1.Building Material: Protein acts as the building material for the tissues, cells, bones etc. in times of injury and wound, proteins are the compounds that rebuild the injured tissues or cells. That is why, having protein in regular diet is mandatory to lead a healthy life, especially for pregnant women and children.
2.Immune System Booster: Enzymes, hormones and antibodies are categories of proteins that basically function to boost up the immune system. Starting from biochemical reactions, metabolism, wound healing and immune system defense, proteins are compounds to look for!
3.Transporter of Nutrients: Nutrients need to pass from one part of the body to another and the most common mean of transportation for the nutrients is protein. Hemoglobin is a major protein that transports oxygen from our lungs to cells and this hemoglobin is found in blood.
4.Energy Producer: Proteins break down into amino acids inside the body and produce energy for the body to function properly.
It is evident that the necessity of protein in the body is beyond imagination as it has major functions in different sectors. But, excessive protein can lead to harmful diseases as well. That’s why; it becomes more important to figure out how much protein we should take on a regular basis in our diet!
Do You Know How Much Protein Do You Need in a Day?
The DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 grams per pound. This amounts to: 56 grams per day for the average sedentary man. 46 grams per day for the average sedentary woman.
Take for example, I am 40 kg.
Amount of Protein I need = 40 kg x 0.8 g of protein/kg = 32 g of protein everyday
1 serving (3 scoops) of ESP only gives me 14 g of protein. We can still consume protein from our daily meal.
From where can you get the optimum protein to meet the exact requirement?
