proteins

Protein is one of the three macro-nutrients, along with carbohydrates and fats, that every cell in the body needs to function. Next to water, protein makes up the largest portion of our body weight. Protein is essential in building bones, healthy muscle and brain mass.

There are various sources of protein you can choose from to achieve your daily requirements. It’s important to get sufficient quantities of both balanced plant proteins, e.g. beans + grains, nuts + grains and dark leafy greens, as well as animal proteins found in meat, poultry, and fish.
