Are you getting the right amount of protein???

It vital our diets contain protein either from animals or plant sources.
Protein provides the body with 10 to 15% of its dietary energy. We need protein for growth and repair. Protein are large molecules made up of amino acid.
Some amino acids are nutritionally essential as they cannot be made or stored in the body, so it must come from our food.

Animal protein contains the right amount of essential amino acid for an adult, but we should not rely on red meat being the only animal source as eating red meat in limited amounts can lead to high levels of saturated fats which can lead to raised blood levels. Cholesterol/cardiovascular disease. The world cancer research fund recommended 500g per week.
Choosing poultry, fish or shellfish would be advised.
Fish is a good source of protein (salmon, mackerel, herring, tuna, trout, and sardines as it is rich in omega 3 fatty acid reducing the risks or cardiovascular disease. Shellfish is also great and low in fat.

Did you know?????

Eggs contain all 8 essential amino acids, but you would have to eat 8 eggs per day to get the right amount of protein.

Vegans and vegetarians rely on plant sources for the daily protein, but plant sources don't have the essential amino acids. Eating a balanced diet of nuts, seeds, beans, pulses, vegetable protein foods, soya products all of which contain protein. Grains and dairy foods have small amounts of protein.

Choosing the right protein (low-fat) can keep your heart healthy, keep cholesterol down, and minimise risk of developing cardiovascular disease.Are y
