Epics food:PROTEINS January 10, 2009
Protein Functions • In the body, proteins are needed to… • Form body structures such as muscle, skin, bone, hair • Act as enzymes (control chemical reactions in the body) • Transport messages or nutrients through the bloodstream • Non-steroid hormones are message-carrying proteins • Hemoglobin is a red-blood-cell protein that carries oxygen • Build immune system cells for fighting infection
Protein Functions (continued) • In food, proteins can… • Slow the movement of food through the digestive system • Cause sugars to be released slowly and steadily into the bloodstream End result: help control feelings of hunger and spikes/drops in blood sugar. • Provide the building-blocks (amino acids) necessary for building any protein your body needs
Protein Structure • Proteins are long molecules made from 20 different building-blocks called amino acids • There are 8 essential amino acids that your body needs to get from food (can’t make on its own) • Methionine, Tryptophan, Phenylalanine, Leucine, Threonine, Valine, Isoleucine, and Lysine
Protein Sources in Food • Animal products including meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese = complete proteins – all 8 essential amino acids • Plant products including grains and legumes = incomplete proteins – not all 8 e. a. a.’s • Eat grains & legumes together to get complete proteins Wheat Corn Rice Bread Tortilla Crackers Cereal Beans Nuts Peanut butter Soy Tofu Lentils
Plant-Based Protein Sources Grains (Corn, Wheat, Rice, Bread, Tortilla, etc.) Methionine Tryptophan Phenylalanine Leucine Threonine Valine Eaten in combination, grains & legumes provide all 8 essential amino acids Isoleucine Lysine Legumes (Beans, Nuts, Soy) Note: Fruits and vegetables provide very little protein [though they provide many other important vitamins and micronutrients]
