Importance of Protein in Our Diet

Protein plays a crucial role in our diet, as it is necessary for building body proteins and providing essential amino acids. Joanne discusses the importance of meeting the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of protein, which varies based on factors like age and activity level. She highlights that protein from animal sources like eggs is of high quality and easily digestible for the body. Joanne explains that while most people consume enough protein, certain groups such as babies and older adults may require additional intake to support growth and prevent muscle loss.
