Protein builds your body good

Jun 03, 2022

“Proteins are the building block of life.”

 

Without protein, we’d be out of luck because it plays a lead role in nearly every function in your body.

 

It’s part of every cell in your body. Your body uses it to build muscle, organs, and other tissues. It’s also important for brain health and it’s vital when it comes to making key enzymes, hormones, and other necessary body chemicals.  

 

Not only that, eating the right amount of protein will boost your metabolism and keep your weight in check. It helps you feel fuller, longer.

 

About 30% of your calories will come from protein, which is ideal for fat loss and maintaining lean muscle mass.

 

Here’s the thing: we want to make sure you are eating QUALITY protein.  As much as you possibly can, try to focus on grass-fed meats, wild fish, and free-range poultry. 

 

Eating this way doesn’t have to be expensive. Many times, you can find these items on sale or even at bulk grocery stores.  Just buy in bulk and freeze them until you need them!  Also, be sure to check out local farms and farmers markets.  

 

Most of the time, you’ll be able to get a much better deal because you’re buying directly from the source.  Not only that, but it’s always great to support local!
