New Delhi: Proteins are essential nutrients for the human body. Every cell in the human body contains protein. We need protein to help our body repair cells and make new ones.
Sources of protein include grains, legumes and nuts, as well as animal sources such as meats, dairy products, fish and eggs.
Unlike fat and carbohydrates, the body does not store protein, hence it needs to be taken every day.
A number of studies have shown that a high-protein diet aids in weight loss and metabolic health. Here are some reasons why you need to add this nutrient to your diet on daily basis.
