Protein is the source of the amino acids which our body uses for synthesizing enzymes, for manufacturing peptide hormones to serve as precursors of antibodies, for constructing neurotransmitters and for making tissue protein as needed in maintenance and growth. Protein can also be converted into energy but not as efficiently as complex carbohydrates for it requires seven times as much water per calorie. There are 23 amino acids that our body needs, 8 of which are called essential and must be obtained directly from foods that contain them, and 15 that are called nonessential which our body manufactures...<br /><br />EXCESS [NO to protein drinks and powders]<br />Excess protein can’t be stored, and its elimination puts a strain on the kidneys and liver. Too-high protein consumption is linked to kidney disease, cancers of the colon, breast, prostate and pancreas, and even osteoporosis.<br /><br />PLANT PROTEIN<br />Three to four ounces of protein a day containing the essential amino acids is all that is needed to take care of our body’s requirements. Vegetables, legumes, grains and fruits are an excellent source of protein because they contain all of the essential amino acids we need. Even a grapefruit contains protein...<br /><br />BONE DENSITY<br />We should not eat animal-based protein - meat contributes to calcium loss leading to osteoporosis, kidney disease, heart disease, certain cancers and ketosis [imbalancing the slightly alkaline pH of the blood toward the acid side].Jean Bornellnoreply@blogger.com
