Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Protein With the addition of protein, our nutrition puzzle begins to take shape. The word protein comes from the Greek word meaning *to take first place.* After water, protein is the most plentiful substance in our body; it is a intergral part of every living cell. In foods, protein usually comes packaged with FAT and the type of fat determines how * healthy* a protein source is. Red meat contains a lot of saturated fat along with its protein. Fish contains a lot of saturated fat along wtih its protein. Beans and legumes are excellent low-fat sources of protein when balanced with nuts, seeds and grains.If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere. - Vincent Van GoghPost your free ad now!
