Finding suitable sources of protein

To live a healthy and full life, we need to keep our bodies in check. This means finding the optimal balance of elements to feed your system and allow you to feel great.

One of the important tenets of a healthy system is protein. But this can be particularly hard to get in the right amounts.

The trick is to find super sources of protein. In our latest Evolution Organics blog, we highlight some of the best ways to get the optimal amount of protein and live your best life.

What does protein do?

The role that protein plays in your body’s functionality is remarkable. Every cell we have contains protein in some form, and protein is comprised of a string of amino acids. Protein plays a vital role in cell reparation, while also being central to the creation of new cells.

Having ample protein means your body can repair and recover more easily from the tasks and challenges of daily life. People who live active lifestyles therefore need to make sure they have good levels of protein in their system to support their body and keep it doing what you ask it to do.

There are some problems that can arise if you have too little protein in your system. Though having a true protein deficiency in the modern age with modern diets is rare, not having requisite protein levels can increase the chances of you suffering bone fractures and muscle wasting.

Getting protein from your diet

Food and diet is the best way to ensure you get the right levels of protein into your system. There are some fairly standard things you can look to add to your diet in order to get those protein levels to a good place.

Meat is an excellent source of healthy protein, with lean beef and fish being high protein foods. These are the classic source of protein people turn to, but there are plenty of alternative protein sources out there too.

Milk and cheese, nuts and seeds, peanut butter and various forms of processed meats are also high in protein.

Protein and Veganism

Because meat and dairy are such strong sources of protein, people who live a vegan lifestyle can often find it difficult getting the requisite levels of protein into their system.

This means that alternative sources of proteins become very important for vegans to embrace.

There are of course foods containing protein that are suitable for vegans, including some of those listed in the section above. Legumes, pumpkin seeds, lentils and chickpeas are all protein-rich vegan foods, but sometimes people can put their minds at ease more effectively by taking supplements.

Protein Supplements

One surefire way to ensure that your body is being fuelled with the right levels of protein is by taking protein supplements.

This helps to fill your system with enough protein to keep you ticking over. If you are worried that your protein levels might not be as high as you would like them to be, or if you are struggling to adopt a diet in which you are getting much protein, taking protein supplements can be a positive step that can bring about various health benefits.
