Protein Perspectives

Women need as much protein in their body to give us the energy to get ourselves going.
Protein gives us the energy to get up and go.
Protein in food is broken down into the 20 amino acids that are the body’s basic building blocks for growth and energy, and essential for maintaining cells, tissues, and organs.
A lack of protein in our diet can slow growth, reduce muscle mass, lower immunity, and weaken the heart and respiratory system.
Try different types of proteins like beans, nuts, seeds, peas, tofu, and soy products.
Beans: Black beans, navy beans, garbanzos, and lentils are good options.
Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and pecans are great choices.
Soy products: Try tofu, soy milk, and  soya veggie burgers for a change.
