Nutrition is an essential part of transforming your life, so today we’re going to focus on one of the most important components of any healthy diet: protein!

The Importance of Protein

There are two basic types of nutrients: macronutrients and micronutrients. Protein is a macronutrient, which means your body needs large quantities of it to function at its best. And because your body doesn’t store protein, you have to continually make it a priority in your diet.

Protein plays a lot of roles in your body. Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues and make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals. It’s also the building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.

Protein is also a valuable tool in reaching and maintaining a healthy weight. First, it helps satisfy your appetite. It also helps build and maintain lean muscle mass, which promotes a healthy metabolism. And if you’re working on your fitness, consuming protein after your workouts can help you maximize your results. No matter what your health goals are, protein is an important part of reaching them!

Prioritizing Protein

A lot of people come up short on protein in their diets, but fortunately, it isn’t hard to make it a priority!
