Proteins: Put simply, proteins are required for bodily growth and repair of tissues, as, for example, during recovery from injury. We need proteins every day to remain healthy as our bodies cannot store them in any quantity. Proteins are made up of chains of ‘amino acids’. There are eight amino acids which are essential to the body and have to be obtained from food as our bodies cannot make them. Meat, fish, eggs and dairy produce all contain the eight essential amino acids in the proportions needed by the body. Other foods, such as nuts, legumes (peas, beans and lentils) and seeds contain some of the essential amino acids and can be eaten in combination to provide the body with the right amino acid mixture. Strict vegetarians have to be careful to eat both adequate amounts and an adequate variety of protein-containing foods to ensure a sufficient supply of essential amino acids.
