| Protein Perspectives: Rethinking Sources for Optimal Health |
Introduction:
Protein is an essential macronutrient that plays a crucial role in numerous physiological processes, including muscle building, tissue repair, immune function, hormone production, and enzyme activity. Traditionally, animal-based sources like meat, poultry, fish, and dairy have been synonymous with protein consumption. However, with the rise of plant-based diets and concerns about sustainability and animal welfare, there is a growing interest in exploring alternative sources of protein. This comprehensive exploration seeks to delve into the various protein sources, including both animal and plant-based options, and examine their nutritional profiles, health implications, and sustainability considerations.
