WHAT ARE PROTEINS? -Proteins are an essential part of any diet -They help the body in many ways, some of which include: - Building, maintaining, and replacing tissue in the body - Making specialized protein molecules, such as hemoglobin - Helps build muscle EATING PROTEINS - When you eat food, your body breaks down the protein into basic units called amino acids - Amino acids are combined and reused to make the proteins your body needs to maintain itself ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS - There are many different proteins the body needs, but there are 22 that are especially important for maintaining health - Your body can make 13 out of the 22 proteins but the other 9 can only come from your diet - These 9 amino acids are called essential amino acids because it is essential that your get them from the foods that you eat COMPLETE PROTEINS - Contain all 9 essential amino acids - Mainly animal based - Can be found in meat, eggs, dairy, poultry, fish, quinoa, buckwheat, and chia seed INCOMPLETE PROTEINS - Do not contain all 9 essential amino acids - Need to be eaten in combinations to become a complete protein - Combinations such as rice and beans, spinach and almonds, hummus and whole-grain pita EATING MEAT Pros: - Easy to get all essential amino acids - High in protein - Tastes good - Provides nutrition like iron, B12, and calcium Cons: - Meats are high in fats and cholesterol - Can lead to cancer, heart disease, and strokes - Unethical VEGETARIAN/VEGANISM Pros: - Ethical - Many health benefits - Environmentally Friendly Cons: - Lacks all essential amino acids - Not good for picky eaters - Can be unhealthy if done improperly - Social stigma (wimpy, opinionated) DAVID CARTER - Defensive lineman for the Oakland Raiders and powerlifter - Follows a vegan diet - Known as “The 300lb Vegan” PATRIK BABOUMIAN - Strongest man in Germany (2011) - Holds several world records for strength - Follows a vegan diet
