Protein (PROT)

Protein (PROT) is an essential macronutrient that plays a crucial role in the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. Composed of amino acids, proteins are the building blocks of muscles, bones, skin, and blood. They are also vital for the production of enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals that are necessary for various physiological processes, including metabolism, immune response, and cell repair.

 

Dietary protein can be obtained from both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, dairy) and plant sources (beans, lentils, nuts, seeds). Complete proteins, which contain all nine essential amino acids, are typically found in animal products, while plant-based proteins may need to be combined to ensure a full amino acid profile.

 

Adequate protein intake is crucial for muscle maintenance, especially in athletes, the elderly, and those recovering from illness. It also supports weight management by promoting satiety and helping to regulate metabolism.
