Proteins are large
substances comprising of amino acids which our bodies and the units in our
bodies need to function correctly. Our body organisations, purposes, the
guideline of the body's cells, tissues and body parts will not exist without
proteins. Our muscles, skin, skeletal parts and numerous other parts of the
body contain important amounts of protein. Protein anecdotes for 20% of total
body heaviness.
Enzymes, hormones
and antibodies are proteins. Proteins furthermore work as neurotransmitters and
carriers of oxygen in the blood (hemoglobin).
Imagine proteins as
appliances; appliances which make all living things, from viruses, bacteria,
butterflies, jellyfish, plants and humans function. The human body is made up
of roughly 100 trillion cells - each one has a exact function. Each cell has thousands
of distinct proteins, which simultaneously make the cell do its job - the
proteins are tiny appliances inside the cell. Amino acids and proteins -
protein is made up of amino acids; amino acids are the construction blocks of
protein, there are 20 of them. envisage there are 20 different types of clay
clay bricks, and a much larger number of different kinds of houses which we
could name according to the way we blended the clay bricks (their sequence).
The clay bricks are the amino acids and the houses are the proteins.
There are three types of nutrients that are
essential as energy sources for the human body:
- Proteins
- Carbohydrates
- Fats
Problems with Excess Protein
- Excess protein will
be stored as fat.
- Without exercise,
the fat will continue to increase.
- Excess protein may
also result in osteoporosis and kidney stones.
One gram of protein or
carbohydrate contains 4 calories, while one gram of fat has 9 calories.
