Protein makes up about 20% of our bodies. No doubts this nutrient has been given a due attention in recent years! Proteins have many health benefits, along with fat and carbohydrates is considered the most important macronutrient.

Protein has a direct impact on your muscle mass growing and regeneration, it is essential for your bones, helps you keep fit when aging and last, but not least, it makes you less hungry while reducing your appetite! Protein fastens your metabolism, which leads to a fat burning and is a great helper in combating feelings of hunger and cravings for sweet food as it makes you feel full for a longer time. Having eaten enough food high in protein will prevent you from overeating.

Our bodies can not store protein, for this reason we are dependent on a balanced diet to have a sufficient daily intake. While a recommended consumption of protein for an adult person is 0,8 g per 1 kg of body weight, little children and athletes may require higher intake. What is always necessary to bear in mind is that diet should provide adequate and not excessive intake of protein.
