Chapter 6:
About Protein And Calcium
Synopsis
Protein provides us the energy to get up and go—and continue going. Protein
in food is taken apart into the twenty amino acids that are the body’s basic
units for growth and energy, and crucial for sustaining cells, tissues, and
organs.
A lack of protein in our diet may slow growth, decrease muscle mass, lower
immunity, and weaken the heart and respiratory system.
Protein is especially crucial for youngsters, whose bodies are growing and
shifting daily.
Calcium is among the key nutrients that your body requires in order to
remain strong and healthy. It's an essential building block for lifelong bone
health in both guys and women, among many additional important
functions.
