Protein (also known as Amino Acids)

What are they? They are building blocks of life and used to rebuild our body’s tissue. Protein is also essential for the functioning of our nervous system, for growth and production of vital enzymes, antibodies and hormones.

How many components of amino acids are there? 22. 10 of these are called ‘Essential Building Blocks’

Note: Our body is constantly in a state of flux. Every 7 days, we have a completely new skin, the oldest red blood cell is only about 120 days old. Our walls of intestines are completely new after every 3 days.

CLASSIFICATIONS OF PROTEIN

There are two types of protein. The GOOD (Low Fat) and the BAD (High fat).

The GOOD (Low Fat) are such as Chicken breast, salmon, water packed tuna and tofu

The BAD (High fat) are such as Bacon, Beef (most), hotdogs, hard cheese.

ROLES OF PROTEIN

It REGULATES the blood sugar content in your body, helps to metabolise fat and STIMULATE the production of an important hormone : GLUCAGON

Glucagon is a mobilisation hormone, it moves energy out of storage and puts it to work. So this means, you will have less fat stores whenever glucagons moves the energy.

On top of that, GLUCAGON and INSULIN moves in opposite directions. The increase in the production of glucagon (moves fat) will decrease the production of insulin (stores fat).

Insulin stores energy in our tanks and Glucagon helps to empty the tank.

So lets try wrapping things up. If you eat too much carbo, your blood insulin level will be high, your glucagons level will be low. We wont be able to burn much fat if glucagons levels are suppressed.
