What is protien where is it found?

Answer 1

Nutrition can be summed up as fuel or energy which when broken down consists of five main groups, all of which are dependent upon each other for us to maintain maximum health. Looking at it another way, without it, we are dead. That said, the five categories are Carbohydrates, Protein, Fats, Minerals, and vitamins.

But first we must see the big picture. The purpose of nutrition as a whole is to supply us with energy; the fuel that keeps every aspect of our bodies functioning. Each of our cells (the essence of our composition) demands timely amounts of specific nutrients on an hourly basis.

Carbohydrates

 Simple (sugars)

These provide energy in many forms, namely, vitamins, fiber, and a host of other nutrients. When ingested, these are short term energy boosts that keep you constantly in need of refueling and thus you’re constantly hungry.

 Complex (sugars)

These are also more complex sugars, basically starches which can again be broken down into refined grains and are found in potatoes, rice, bread, wholegrain cereals, semi skimmed milk, yoghurt, fruit, vegetables, beans and pulses. Another important point is that these starches also have all the vitamins, minerals and protein in them.


How Carbohydrates are used by our bodies

Our body breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars which are fed into the bloodstream. With the rising of sugar levels in your body, a hormone called insulin is released by the pancreas and is required for the cells. Insulin is necessary in the moving of sugar from the blood to the cells as a source of energy.

The faster this process goes….the faster you need food. The slower it goes, the more satisfied you’ll feel for a longer spell, as with a whole-grain food. Also, you gain much more energy for longer periods of time. As a binote, the fiber ingested is also essential for the removal of toxins, chemical byproducts, and other deterrents to our digestive health, namely, Candida (bad bacterial overgrowth and parasites).

And our brains specifically require glucose, a basic sugar as it's main source of fuel, even while we're asleep. If we're cutting down on our carbohydrates (calories), we're also restricting our energy input. This puts us in a kind of hibernation state.

Protein


When most people think about protein, they usually think about meat, fish, and dairy products. And what you need to be aware of is that all fruits and vegetables also have a certain amount of amino acids in them. So, fruits and vegetables are also a protein source. So it’s important to keep in mind that everything we eat comes from the earth, the sea, or that is naturally occurring is going to have amino acids in it. The planet that we live on is going to provide for us exactly what our body needs.

What is protein?

Protein fortifies, maintains, and replenishes as well as replace the tissues in your body. One vital function of protein is it creates hemoglobin, an essential part of red blood cells that carry oxygen to every other cell in your body.

Protein is found in many sources such as beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, seeds, and legumes like black beans. Other proteins have different functions which we’ll delve more into later.

Amino Acids

Foods that contain protein, are broken down by the digestive juices in your stomach and puts your intestine to work. Protein is then broken down into molecules called amino acids which can be reused to make the proteins your body needs to maintain muscles, bones, blood, and body organs.

Thousands of protein molecules are totally made up of amino acids, which in turn can also create thousands of proteins. Of all the amino acids found in protein, only 22 are essential amino acids. Thirteen of these are naturally manufactured by your body. The other nine must be ingested through protein-rich food.

So what about amino acids? The essential amino acids are amino acids in the foundation for neurotransmitters which have to do with our brain chemistry. These affect our moods as to whether we feel happy or depressed and all other functions of the nervous system. The body uses amino acids to regenerate our tissue, to heal ourselves, and to build muscle mass. It also uses amino acids even to form the digestive enzymes that are necessary for quality digestion. So if we don't have quality amino acids we're going to find the body in survival mode. Therefore, it’s critical that you understand the need for quality amino acids which are basically found in foods that are protein in nature.

Different Kinds of Protein

Though protein from meat or dairy is regarded as complete, for vegetarians, there is no need to feel deprived. The same necessary amino acids can be obtained from protein-rich vegetable foods. Since unlike meat you can’t get all the necessary amino acids from one meal, learning how to mix foods will give you an ample daily dose as we’ll discuss later in ‘mixing foods’.

Now how much protein do we need?



50% of your weight which adds up very easily if you check your food labels.

Fats

How are fats essential to our diets?

 They produce more energy than carbohydrates though much fewer in number

 They are essential for the growth and repair of our tissue cells

 They also add cushion to our bones and internal organs

 They insulate us against cold

Answer 2

Types of protein
Protein plays an essential role in building and repairing your body. But whether it helps a fingernail to grow or heals a sore muscle, for example, depends on the make-up of the protein.

Proteins consist of smaller units called amino acids, which can link together in many combinations to form chains. Some amino acid chains are created by your body, but those called essential amino acids must come from your diet. Although all animal and plant cells contain some protein, the amount and the quality of the protein varies a lot.

High biological value foods contain enough indispensable amino acids for an adult diet and are considered to be good quality protein. Meat, fish and eggs sit in this category.

Low biological value foods don't contain enough indispensable amino acids. Plant foods, such as pulses, nuts and seeds, are in this group.

Advice for vegans and vegetarians
Some plant foods are low in one kind of amino acid whereas other plant foods are higher in that amino acid. By eating a well balanced diet that contains a variety of foods you can get all the amino acids you require. Previously it was thought that for vegetarians to obtain enough protein different plant foods had to be combined in the same meal in order to balance the amounts of amino acids, known as protein combining. Now it's believed that this isn't necessary and that eating a range of plant foods over the course of a day will provide all the essential amino acids the body needs.

Foods such as eggs, nuts, seeds, beans, pulses, vegetable protein foods and soya products all contain protein. There are also small amounts in grains and dairy products.


Did you know...?
Eggs contain all eight essential amino acids, making them a perfect source of protein. However, you'd have to eat at least eight eggs a day to get all the protein you need. Be sensible; include them as part of a balanced and varied diet.

How much is enough?
Health professionals recommend that protein makes up ten to 15 per cent of your diet. They suggest men eat 55.5g protein a day and women eat 45g. In real terms, eating a moderate amount of protein - in one or two meals every day - should give you all the protein you need.

Answer 3

i stumble on that Smoothie King is an remarkable broking for risk-free, low priced, and sensible protein powder. GNC is likewise a powerful place, or perhaps Wal-Mart. you will locate that stuff everywhere the place you come across the muscle supplementations and supplementations.

Answer 4

Proteins are made up of amino acids which are called the body's building blocks; building and repairing bodily tissue.

There are 2 types of protein: 'complete' (animal products) and 'incomplete' (non-animal foods).

SOURCES:
* Meat
* Fish
* Dairy products - e.g. yoghurt, cheese
* Tofu
* Pulses - e.g. beans, chickpeas, lentils
* Nuts & seeds
* Wholegrains - e.g. wholemeal bread, porridge oats, brown rice, wild rice, quinoa

Answer 5

Protein is animal meat and can be found in beef, pork, chicken and fish. However some beans has it too.
