Most Frequently Asked Questions About Protein!

Protein, as we know, is the fundamental building block of our body and plays a critical role in maintaining our health and vitality.

But what does this building block mean?
Living without proteins is impossible. Whether from plant or animal sources, we must consume daily protein as our bodies do not store it.

Where can we find protein, and why should we consume animal protein?
Proteins obtained from legumes or grains have a low conversion rate back to protein in our bodies. On the other hand, proteins from animal sources, including eggs, red meat, chicken, turkey, and fish, contribute quickly to protein synthesis.

What other functions does protein serve?
Assists in the breathing of our organs: Proteins play a crucial role in the structure of hemoglobin, the oxygen carrier in our blood. In other words, they are used in the production of the element that allows our tissues and organs to breathe.

Supports our immune system: Proteins are crucial in the production of antibodies, which play a significant role in the body's defense against diseases. Protein is the nutrient that takes the lead in protecting us from immune system diseases and contributes to recovery during illness.

How much daily protein do we need? What are the foods that can meet our protein needs?
Our average protein requirement is 1 gram per kilogram. However, for a good and quality protein intake, 0.6 grams of protein per kilogram are sufficient. For example, a person weighing 60 kg needs only 36 grams of protein per day from animal sources. Quality proteins are derived from animal sources.

Common questions about protein powder and protein bars:
Common questions about protein powder include its purpose, whether it is harmful, causes weight loss or muscle gain, and whether it is chemical. Another topic is the curiosity about products such as protein bars, which come in many varieties, or questions like how much protein one should consume.

What kind of protein are we consuming?
In our opinion, as important as these questions, if not more so, is what kind of protein we are consuming and the original source of this protein. It is crucial for consumers to be aware of the processes their food undergoes, the treatments it receives, and the additives it contains before reaching them. Developing the habit of reading labels before purchasing food is critical for both personal and societal health in the long run.
