The human body needs different amounts of protein depending on age, gender, weight, and general health. One vital part of a healthy diet is protein. The chemical 'building blocks' of proteins are amino acids. The body uses amino acids to make hormones enzymes, and to grow and repair bones and muscles. Protein helps with weight loss and management, gains muscular leanness, and minimizes muscle loss. Additionally, proteins regulate metabolism, the immune system, and brain activity. Natural protein sources include legumes, chickpeas and beans, animal protein from chicken, and dairy products.
