Our bodies are made up of specific elements which have to
be replenished daily if we are to remain healthy. The main nutrients
necessary for the body to grow, rebuild tissues and provide adequate
energy include amino acids (proteins), carbohydrates, essential
fatty acids (fats), vitamins, minerals, in
addition to fibre, oxygen and water.
Because we are unique, we each require differing quantities of these
nutrients, which should be obtained from our daily diet.
The term 'protein' is derived from the Greek word πρωτεος (proteios),
meaning 'primary', 'first', 'most important', 'in the lead',
or 'standing in front'. It is our most important
nutrient, however, it also
needs to be consumed in moderation, within a balanced diet
which includes all other key nutrients.
Most of what you can see of your body, and most of what you
can't, is made up of protein. Your body's need for protein
is constant. Protein cannot be stored in the body so it is
crucial to obtain sufficient amounts of good quality protein
every day.
When protein is consumed, the body effectively breaks down
complex protein into amino acids. The body utilises these
amino acids in the synthesis of a vast array of structural
and enzymatic proteins. These proteins are functional, they
cannot be stored in the body, and are not readily available
for some other use. Should the body experience a severe
protein shortage it will eventually draw on the body's own
structural protein, such as skeletal muscle tissue.
Proteins are needed to build and maintain all body tissue,
inside and out. They make up the enzymes and hormones that
control all chemical reactions in our bodies, and regulate
activities like digestion, metabolism and body temperature.
Other proteins in the blood are antibodies - your defenders
against disease and infection.
