Main physiological functions of protein

1. Constructing the human body: Protein is the material basis of all life, an important part of body cells, and the main raw material for renewal and repair of human tissues. Every tissue in the human body: hair, skin, muscles, bones, internal organs, brain, blood, nerves, endocrine, etc. is composed of protein, so diet makes people themselves. Proteins are very important for human growth and development.

For example, brain development is characterized by cell proliferation in one go. There are two peaks in the growth of human brain cells. The first is when the fetus is three months old; the second is from birth to one year old, especially for infants aged 0- 6 months, when brain cells grow violently. By the age of one year, the proliferation of brain cells has basically been completed, and the number of brain cells has reached 9/10 of that of a person. Therefore, children aged 0 to 1 have very unique protein intake requirements, which are particularly important for children's intellectual development.

2. Repair human tissue: The human body is composed of hundreds of billions of cells. Cells can be said to be the smallest unit of life. They are in the never-ending metabolic process of aging, death, and rebirth. For example, the epidermis of young people is renewed every 28 days, while the gastric mucosa is completely renewed in two to three days. Therefore, if a person ingests, absorbs and utilizes protein well, then his skin will be shiny and elastic. On the contrary, people are often in a sub-healthy state. After tissue damage, including trauma, cannot be repaired in a timely and high-quality manner, it will accelerate the decline of the body.

3. Maintain the normal metabolism of the body and the transportation of
