🍗 Why do we need to eat protein?

Protein is like tiny building blocks for your body! 🏗️ It helps you grow big and strong, just like how blocks build a tall tower. 🏰

When you eat foods like chicken, eggs, or beans, your body uses protein to make your muscles, hair, and even your nails! 💪

So, eating protein helps you run, jump, and play all day long! 🌟

Protein is a super-important nutrient that keeps your body working like a well-oiled machine! ⚙️

Here’s why you need it:

• Muscles: Protein repairs and builds muscles after playing sports or climbing trees. 🌳
• Energy: It gives you steady energy (unlike sugar crashes!). 🚀
• Immunity: Proteins help fight germs—like tiny bodyguards! 🛡️

Great sources: eggs, fish, nuts, and yogurt. 🥜🍳

Proteins are complex molecules made of amino acids—your body’s 'Lego pieces.' 🧩 Here’s why they’re essential:

1. Growth & Repair

During puberty, proteins help build bones, muscles, and organs. They also heal cuts or bruises! 🩹

2. Enzymes & Hormones

Proteins create enzymes (like digestive helpers 🍽️) and hormones (like growth hormone).

3. Immune Defense

Antibodies are proteins that attack viruses—like a shield against colds! 🦠

Best sources: Lean meats, lentils, quinoa, and tofu. 🌱
