The human body is nature’s most advanced creation, the most intriguing and mysterious object to mankind itself. Yet, we use, misuse and abuse our bodies, and in fact exploit it to its maximum potential throughout our lives. But little do we realize how much of wear and tear our bodies go through in that one single life span. We all learnt in school that our body is made up of millions and millions of microscopic cells. And each cell is a huge factory in itself, performing a number of phenomenal functions, right from the time we are born till the time we are alive. And since we are blessed with nature’s best created machine on this planet, it is our duty to provide this machine with the best fuel to make it perform at its maximum potential.
The food we eat gives us all the fuel to run this machine 24/7 at its optimum performance internally and externally. And out of the five vital nutrients that we get from food, Protein is the nutrient which is responsible for repairing and growth of each and every cell of our body. The body which we are so proud of or want to be proud of at any stage of life. Thus, does it not become extremely essential for our body to be fuelled well with meals which are rich in best quality and quantity of proteins in our daily diet?
Milk and milk products like paneer (cottage cheese) and curd, eggs, chicken, fish and lean cuts of meat are sources of the best quality protein which ensure that those millions of factories of our body (the cells) are able to perform their tasks at their best.
For instance, a simple task like standing or cooking an exotic meal for a couple of hours or playing a football game with your kids on a vacation may feel impossible if your diet is compromised in the quality and quantity of proteins on a daily basis.
