How does protein benefit cells and the body?

Protein: materials the body uses every day

Protein helps the body build and repair cells. It matters to everyone, from working adults to people who exercise.

When protein is digested, the body obtains small units called amino acids. If the body were a house, amino acids would be the materials used to build and repair its different parts for everyday use.

3 everyday roles of protein

1. Muscle and tissue — protein is a component of muscle and provides materials for repairing tissue after use, alongside adequate food and rest.
2. Skin and hair — Collagen is a protein in the structure of skin, while keratin is an important protein in hair. The body uses amino acids to make these proteins.
3. Internal functions — Antibodies that help defend against germs, many enzymes that help reactions occur in the body, and some hormones that carry regulatory signals are all proteins that help its systems work together.

Choose varied protein sources and enough for your day

Meat, fish, eggs, milk, tofu, beans and certain grains can all supply protein. Choose a variety and an overall amount that suits your body.

Essential amino acids are amino acids the body cannot make, so they must come from food. Getting enough throughout the day matters more than choosing by the word “protein” alone.
