It is called this because protein is vital in the maintenance of body tissue, including development and repair. Hair, skin, eyes, muscles and organs are all made from protein. This is why children need more protein per pound of body weight than adults; they are growing and developing new protein tissue.]]> 2021-08-18 05:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683541954 910486260 https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683544076 Protein is a major source of energy. If you consume more protein than you need for body tissue maintenance and other necessary functions, your body will use it for energy. If it is not needed due to sufficient intake of other energy sources such as carbohydrates, the protein will be used to create fat and becomes part of fat cells.]]> 2021-08-18 05:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683544076 910486260 https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683544445 Protein is involved in the creation of some hormones. These substances help control body functions that involve the interaction of several organs. Insulin, a small protein, is an example of a hormone that regulates blood sugar. It involves the interaction of organs such as the pancreas and the liver. Secretin, is another example of a protein hormone. This substance assists in the digestive process by stimulating the pancreas and the intestine to create necessary digestive juices.]]> 2021-08-18 05:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683544445 910486260 https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683545284 Enzymes are proteins that increase the rate of chemical reactions in the body. In fact, most of the necessary chemical reactions in the body would not efficiently proceed without enzymes. For example, one type of enzyme functions as an aid in digesting large protein, carbohydrate and fat molecules into smaller molecules, while another assists the creation of DNA.]]> 2021-08-18 05:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683545284 910486260 https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683545887 Protein is a major element in transportation of certain molecules. For example, hemoglobin is a protein that transports oxygen throughout the body. Protein is also sometimes used to store certain molecules. Ferritin is an example of a protein that combines with iron for storage in the liver.]]> 2021-08-18 05:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683545887 910486260 https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683546251 Protein forms antibodies that help prevent infection, illness and disease. These proteins identify and assist in destroying antigens such as bacteria and viruses. They often work in conjunction with the other immune system cells. For example, these antibodies identify and then surround antigens in order to keep them contained until they can be destroyed by white blood cells.]]> 2021-08-18 05:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683546251 910486260 https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683552684 The recommended daily allowance for protein in women is 46 grams; the RDA for men is 56 grams per day. Good sources of protein include red meat, fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, dried beans, peas, nuts and seeds. Smaller amounts of protein are found in grains and some vegetables and fruits. Medline Plus says that 4 ounces of meat plus a cup of cottage cheese would satisfy the protein requirements of most adults.]]> 2021-08-18 05:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683552684 910486260 https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683554843 2021-08-18 05:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683554843 910486260 https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683560711 Carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the food are utilised to get the energy to carry out various metabolic and physical processes. The actual amount of energy derived from the combustion of 1 g of food is the physiologic value of food. The energy content of protein is 4.0 kcal/g.]]> 2021-08-18 05:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683560711 910486260 https://padlet.com/910486260/uwn1t1xezwzekfqt/wish/1683568843
It’s entirely false that meat rots in your colon.Your body is well equipped to digest and absorb all the important nutrients found in meat.The protein gets broken down in your stomach by stomach acids. Then, powerful digestive enzymes break down the rest in your small intestine.Most of the fats, proteins, and nutrients are then absorbed by your body. While small amounts of protein and fat may escape digestion in healthy people, there is not much left to rot in your colon.
