  • Abstract:
  • Proteins are large complex molecules that play critical roles in the body. Protein is a nutrient that the body needs to grow and repair cells, and to work properly. Most of the work in the cells and are required for the structure, functions and regulation of body tissues and organs. Protein is made from twenty-plus basic building blocks called amino acids. Protein is found throughout the body—in muscle, bone, skin, hair, and virtually every other body part or tissue. It makes up the enzymes that power many chemical reactions and the haemoglobin that carries oxygen in your blood. At least 10,000 different proteins make our body to function our body. Despite the growing nutrition consciousness, our diets continue to be heavy on carbohydrates such as rice and wheat, ignoring other nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals. This paper focuses on the health benefits of dietary protein and its functions.
