Shaklee distributor in Dallas relays the power of protein.
The essential activities of protein are quite numerous. Top on the list is the growth, repair and maintenance of all body tissues. Protein is also required for making enzymes and hormones that eventually generate a wide range of biological functions. There is also the role of protein in the balance of fluid and electrolytes, providing energy and the defense against disease. These are the powers of protein.
Consuming adequate amounts of dietary protein in the forms of lean meats, fish and poultry as well as soy and milk make all these important body activities possible. These proteins supply the body with amino acids, the basic building blocks from which the body can make its own proteins.
The foods we eat provide about 20 different amino acids and more than half of these are considered “nonessential.” That means that the body can produce them for itself. About nine other amino acids are labeled “essential”, indicating that they are required from the food we eat. While fats and carbohydrates can be stored in the body, amino acids cannot be, so it is imperative that we steadily supply our bodies with protein-rich foods.
There is always the question of which protein sources are the best. It is true that not all dietary protein is created equal. The quality of protein in one’s diet will determine how well a child will grow and develop and how well adult health is maintained. Higher quality proteins provide the raw materials, (amino acids) for the body to do its work while lower quality protein sources do not.
Two factors are used to determine protein quality: digestibility and amino acid composition. Digestibility is a measure of the amount of amino acids absorbed from a given protein intake. Amino acid composition refers to the availability of the needed amino acids from a food we choose to eat. Animal-sourced proteins (meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy) are considered high-quality proteins, as is soy, a vegetable-sourced protein.  Other than soy, vegetable-sourced proteins are referred to as “incomplete” because they lack some of the essential amino acids the body needs. Incomplete proteins come from fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts.
When on a carefully-watched food program, proper protein intake can be a challenge. The Shaklee Corporation produces a great lineup of protein supplements that offer the essential amino acids in a 
low-calorie, high quality form. Their energizing soy Protein is made from non-GMO (genetically modified organism) soy. This is very important in the long-term scheme of things. There are also scientifically-based meal replacements that provide adequate amounts of protein.
