The Importance of Protein in Mental and Physical Health
Protein plays a critical role in maintaining mental and physical health. Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, are essential for rebuilding tissues, including muscles, skin, and organs. Additionally, proteins help regulate blood sugar levels, support enzyme production, and aid in hormone and neurotransmitter synthesis. Consuming adequate protein from sources like animal products or plant-based sources is vital for overall health and well-being.
