- Adults over the age of 53 require 25% more protein for maintenance than younger adults
- No strict upper level of protein, but a 25% protein limit as a source of energy is recommended due to the potential of chronic disease
- Adverse effects can arise with moderate-high levels of supplementation]]> 2021-08-18 03:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/patrickd7778/8bs18kxia439qgxw/wish/1683349732 yjin6225 https://padlet.com/patrickd7778/8bs18kxia439qgxw/wish/1683363739 The energy values are 17 kJ/g (4.0 kcal/g) for protein.

(If you have a food that contains 20g protein, you would multiply 20 by 4 to give 80 calories supplied by protein in that food. )]]> 2021-08-18 03:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/patrickd7778/8bs18kxia439qgxw/wish/1683363739 https://padlet.com/patrickd7778/8bs18kxia439qgxw/wish/1683382068

Some proteins function as enzymes.

Proteins are responsible for hormone synthesis.

Proper protein intake enables the basic biological processes of the body to maintain the status quo in a changing environment.

Protein is also essential in maintaining proper pH balance (the measure of how acidic or basic a substance is) in the blood.

Proteins also play a role in nutrient transport. A cell’s membrane is usually not permeable to large molecules.

Our immune system is designed to attack and destroy foreign substances.

Proteins are involved in all aspects of wound healing, a process that takes place in three phases: inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling.

Some of the amino acids in proteins can be disassembled and used to make energy.

There are several different types of amino acids (20) that can form 'stepping stones' along the chain. Amino acid sequences vary between different proteins.

The secondary structure of protein is formed by hydrogen atoms attract oxygen atoms, the amino acid primary structure folds into a pleated sheet or twist into a helix.

The tertiary structure forms as the unqiue side group of each amino acid give it characteristics that attract or repel surrounding fluids or other amino acids,  resulting in different shapes.

The quarternary structure is a protein consisting of more than one amino acid chain.

2. Focus on protein intake when you need to train muscles.
3. Eating too much protein will not make people fat.
4. Vegetarians cannot get enough protein from their diet.

If you’re a dedicated athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone who is simply trying to become more active, your protein intake plays a key role in your physical performance. There are many factors of high-quality protein that can benefit you in ways you may not have even considered!]]> 2021-08-18 04:00:06 UTC https://padlet.com/patrickd7778/8bs18kxia439qgxw/wish/1683407144 yjin6225 https://padlet.com/patrickd7778/8bs18kxia439qgxw/wish/1683412001 2021-08-18 04:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/patrickd7778/8bs18kxia439qgxw/wish/1683412001
