Why is protein so important?
Proteins have more than one trick up their sleeve! They don’t just sculpt your body and have protruding abs, they also give a helping hand to your digestion by making enzymes. Also, they constitute, with lipids in particular, the hormone that is, what regulates your moods! Without forgetting that they support the health of our skinof our hair and our nails, contributing to their growth and regeneration. Eating protein is therefore vital and there are many ways to consume it!
bananamo evokes a very trendy subject: animal versus vegetable proteins. Because, while animal proteins, such as meat and cheese, are the classic rockstars with all the essential amino acids, vegetable proteins should not be underestimated! Be careful because some vegetable sources are complete while others are not, even if they remain interesting to complete your plates (nuts, lentils, seeds, etc.). For example, textured soy protein or PST or tofu which are complete proteins. You can easily cook them with crunchy vegetables, soy sauce and sesame oil in particular. And for animal proteins, think of changing chicken thanks to the fish white or fatty like salmon, eggs or even the cottage cheese and the shakers of protein at snack time!
