Proteins are needed to build cells in the body of a healthy person. These substances make up approximately one fifth of body weight. Most of them are in muscle tissue.
All proteins are composed of amino acids, which are essential and essential. Replaceable ones are independently synthesized in the body, irreplaceable ones can come only from the outside.
Proteins consumed by humans are of animal and plant origin. As many studies show, plant proteins are much healthier for the body. Moreover, the myth about their inferiority and lack of necessary substances in them has long been dispelled.
The main benefit of plant-based proteins is the lack of saturated fat and cholesterol.
According to the results of many studies, scientists have come to the conclusion that people who consume only plant proteins are less susceptible to cancer.
Plant protein contributes to the normal growth and development of cells, slowing down their aging, in addition, it contains a large amount of fiber, with the help of which toxins are removed from the body.
Vegetable proteins are very well absorbed. For example, soy protein is almost 100% digestible!
There is an opinion that a person who has given up meat and milk simply has nothing to replenish proteins in the body with. However, this is a misconception, a huge number of foods contain vegetable proteins. These include legumes such as beans, peas, soybeans, lentils, chickpeas, mung bean; many types of seeds; various kinds of nuts: walnuts, peanuts, cashews, pistachios and others.
A balanced use of foods containing plant proteins will not only replenish the necessary amino acids, but also maintain health for many years.
