Weight Loss – Life’s building blocks

Posted on November 23, 2008 - Filed Under Weight Loss | Leave a Comment

Proteins are Complex Compounds made up of amino acids. Often called the “building blocks” of the body, amino acids are used to create, maintain, and repair all protein components of the body. These include body tissues such as skin, hair, bones, muscles, and organs, as well as digestive enzymes, hormones, various components of the immune system, and even genes.

Proteins also supply heat and energy, but not as readily as carbohydrates.

The average adult needs about half a gram of protein per pound of body weight.

Infants need three times as much protein as adults to support their rapid growth, and children need twice the amount.
