First of all, we need to know what protein is, why do the human body consume protein, but what will happen if the human body consumes less protein? What will happen if the protein is consumed too much? Where will the protein enter the human body? How should we supplement protein?
protein is a body energy nutrient, all manifestations of life, essentially the embodiment of protein function, and this manifestation of biological macromolecules are composed of various amino acids linked in a certain order.
Most organs in the human body need protein to supply energy. For example, the components composed of human tissues contain protein components, cell membranes and intracellular structures, proteins in the body's thin tissues, hemoglobin, and nails (nails) in the skin and bones.
If the human body lacks protein, the hair will wither, the nails will easily break, and the barbs will easily develop, and the muscles will loosen and lack elasticity, and the skin will become rougher and rougher. It will also reduce the body's resistance, prone to colds, poor gastrointestinal function, indigestion, and symptoms of hypotension, anemia, and cold hands and feet, making people feel tired and irritable, and in severe cases can lead to edema in the body, or affect the normal development of the child's body.
Everything has two sides. If there is a good side, there will be a bad side. Therefore, excessive intake of protein will also change the body. For example, excessive intake of protein will increase the burden on the kidneys and accelerate the loss of calcium, making people prone to osteoporosis , especially for the elderly. Intake of too much protein will also increase fat to the body, causing cholesterol to be intake of the body, making people fat.
Protein enters the human body and first reaches the gastrointestinal and intestines, helps the human body to complete digestive and metabolic functions, can be used as a lubricant in the body, and can protect organs, hinder the invasion of some foreign species, can also help the body detoxify and maintain the penetration of body fluids... If the body fluid is lost in large quantities, the body will cause edema. The remaining protein will flow away with urine, feces, and skin.
So how should we properly consume protein?
The food we eat, beans contain the most protein, and then fish, eggs, meat, coarse grains, milk, and vegetables. However, the protein closest to the human body needs among these foods is animal protein eggs. Almost all the amino acids contained in the eggs are enough for the human body. Other fish and beans are also very rich in protein, but only some of them are needed by the human body, and some are not needed by the body. Therefore, we usually eat with balanced nutrition, diversified diet, and the combination of food biology should be farther than the biological species, so that we can make the diet more balanced and the body healthier.
