In this episode I dive into the important roles of protein in our overall health and well-being. We know about protein and muscle but did you know it does a lot of other important things, too. Discover how protein acts as the body's building blocks, influences everything from cell repair to metabolic function.
My goal is to create a community where everyone understands different health, fitness and nutrition jargon at a more easier to understand level.
So come along and let's get into the nitty-gritty of protein. I want to arm you with the knowledge you need to live a healthier life.

📌 Key Takeaways 📌
| Protein serves as the essential building material for our body's cells, tissues and organs.
| Amino acids, derived from proteins, are like the bricks and beams used in construction.
| Without enough protein, the body struggles to repair and build tissues effectively, leading to weakened muscles and slower healing.
| Proteins act as messengers, making sure communication between different parts of the body works correctly.
| Enzymes - specialised proteins - speed up vital chemical reactions in the body.
| Antibodies, made up of proteins, play a crucial role in the immune system, defending against infections and threats.
| Insufficient protein intake can weaken the body's defences, making it harder to fight off invaders.
| Remember, this analogy emphasises how protein is like the crucial building material in our body's construction process.
