Protein and obesity

As we all know, protein is a "good thing", which has been comprehensively introduced as an important content in newspapers and magazines related to nutrition. In terms of diet, each adult is required to consume approximately 30 grams to 45 grams of protein per day to allow the body to function normally. So, what is protein? What does it do? Why do you need to take a certain amount of people every day?

In biology, a protein is interpreted as a substance formed by amino acids joined together by peptide bonds to form polypeptides, and then joined together by polypeptides. To put it more broadly, it is the scaffold and main material that constitutes human tissues and organs. It plays an important role in human life activities. It can be said that without protein, there is no life activity. Protein in the daily diet is mainly found in lean meat, eggs, beans and fish. The amount of protein has essentially little to do with obesity, because generally speaking, protein and fat do not convert into each other. It's just that protein is constantly consumed in daily metabolism, and the amount consumed is relatively stable. Once there are insufficient people, it can be seen that the person is "getting thinner day by day".

We know that any person with strong muscles must have relatively little subcutaneous fat tissue. On the one hand, developed muscles require unremitting exercise, and the result of exercise is to consume fat and strengthen muscles; on the other hand, it is precisely because of the low thickness of sebum that developed muscle tissue can be revealed. Therefore, although some people with strong muscles, such as bodybuilders, even if they weigh more than 20% of the standard weight, they cannot be considered obese. That is to say, obesity is only in terms of the relative excess of adipose tissue. (Internship Editor: Zheng Yanjun)
