Protein: Complementary Actions

Protein is key for growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues.
Consuming various protein sources supplies the body with essential amino acids.
Complementary actions involve mixing protein sources to create a nutritionally complete meal.
Plant proteins are often incomplete (lacking all essential amino acids), making mixed sources important for plant-based diets.
Eating complementary proteins (e.g., beans and rice, lentils and seeds) allows the body to obtain all necessary amino acids.
This practise ensures individuals receive the necessary nutrients for optimal health and development.
