7. How are proteins made?
Proteins are made from chemical building blocks called amino acids.
Amino acids are all different, just like letters of the alphabet are different.
Many letters = many words
Many amino acids = many proteins
Proteins form body organs, brain cells, bones, etc.
Example: Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to every cell in the body.

8. Complete & Incomplete Proteins
Proteins are made from amino acids
There are 22 amino acids
9 are essential
The human body produces the rest as needed.
Complete proteins contain all 9 essential amino acids
Found in animal sources (soy products and quinoa too!)
Incomplete proteins are missing one or more essential amino acids
Found in plant sources

9. Complimentary Proteins
Eating a combination of plant foods (incomplete proteins) in an effort to get all essential amino acid.
Beans and rice
Whole wheat toast and peanut butter

10. How do I digest and use protein?
Protein in food is broken down during digestion in the small intestine – then transported via the bloodstream and reassembled again into whatever protein is needed:
Body Repair
Growth
Energy

11. Why do I need it? Growth Maintenance of body systems
Enzymes to help body function
Hormones
Antibodies to fight invaders
Fluid balance
Energy
