Protien Rich Foods and Why You Need Them

Good Morning!

Yesterday while I was reading the news I came across a great article on fitbe.ca on 20 protien rich foods and also includes ideas on how to incorporate them in to your diet.

Why do I want you to read this article? Because people (especially women) underestimate the importance of protien in weight loss and weight management and often it is the first thing to get cut in a 'diet'.

But protein is required by the body for the growth, maintenance and repair of all cells. It is a major component of all muscles, tissues and organs and is vital for practically every process that occurs within the body such as metabolism, digestion and the transportation of nutrients and oxygen in the blood.

It is also necessary for the production of antibodies, which fight against infection and illness, and is the main nutrient that keeps our hair shiny and healthy, our nails strong, our skin fresh and glowing and our bones strong and healthy.

Have a read through and if you have any questions or comments as always feel free to post or e-mail me!!!

Stay Healthy!
