Protein is everywhere in the body. For example, it is in the internal organs of the human body. In various tissues of the human body, individual cells, human blood, bones, teeth, muscles, including hair. Every cell and tissue contains protein. For example, albumin, hemoglobin, globulin, etc. in our bodies are all synthesized by proteins. If the protein is insufficient, it is easy to reduce the body's resistance various infectious diseases can easily attack our bodies.
In the current season of high respiratory diseases, in order to enhance immunity and improve our disease resistance, we must not ignore the intake of adequate protein from food.
There are two main sources of protein
One type is animal protein. The other type is plant protein. Animal proteins include a variety of meats, eggs, milk, and fish and shrimp. Among them, milk is the most ideal source of protein.
Its absorption conversion rate in the human body is relatively high. Even if you drink more, there will be no side effects. Belongs to high-quality protein. The protein content of various meats is very rich. But different meats, the protein content is not the same. For example, tuna fish. It has a protein content of 28g and contains up to 59% fat, while chicken has a protein content of 20g. The proportion of protein and fat in chicken is similar to that of beef, so we suggest that you should eat more chicken and beef, and reduce the intake of pork, especially those.
In addition, scientific studies have shown that if we consume too much high-fat food like fat pork, our immune function will be inhibited, which will reduce our disease resistance. Like those high-fat, high-sugar foods, it is better to eat less.
Let's take a look at plant proteins. They mainly exist in rice and noodles. Among them, the protein content of beans is the highest. For example, soybeans, its protein content is two to three times that of eggs, nearly ten times that of milk, enough! Therefore, we must eat more beans in peacetime. There are also soy milk, bean sprouts, these soy products are great for enhancing immunity. Among all kinds of vegetables and fruits, the protein content is relatively low. However, it is not possible to eat fewer fruits and vegetables. Although their protein content is a little less, they contain a lot of other nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. They are not comparable to meat, eggs, milk, and beans. Therefore, we have repeatedly stressed that the diet should pay attention to balance and sufficient.
In addition, experts tell us that through experimental comparison, it is found that protein has such a characteristic that when several foods are mixed together, its physiological value is also the nutritional value. For example, when rice and soybeans are eaten separately, their physiological values are 40 and 50, respectively, but if they are mixed together to make porridge, the physiological value can be increased by about 10%. Therefore, from the perspective of rational use of protein in food, the variety of food in each meal should be richer. It is best to match the vegetable protein with the animal protein to make full use of the complementary functions of the protein in the food to obtain a sufficiently high quality protein.
