The Importance of Protein

Proteins are the building blocks of the animal kingdom. The human body assembles and utilizes about 50,000 different proteins to form organs, nerves, muscles and flesh.

Protein is essential for normal growth and for the formation of hormones. It is also essential for the acid-alkaline balance of tissues and blood. When protein is lacking in the diet, there is a tendency for the blood and tissues to become either too acidic or too alkaline. This leads to a number of problems and is often apparent with most vegetarians.

Just as animal fats are our only sources of vitamins A and D and other body building factors, animal protein is our only source of complete protein with all the essential amino acids. Vegetables provide sources of incomplete proteins but the body can only utilise proteins when ALL the essential amino acids are available.

Protein is also an appetite suppressant. The aim of the six week challenge is to feed your body the nutrients it needs to create more lean muscle tissue and to stop the cravings for crap food your body can do nothing with.

Aim to include protein in one form or another in all of your meals.

See you tomorrow.
