Why proteins are so important
Proteins are essential for the growth and repair of body tissues, including muscles, organs, and skin. They are important for the formation of enzymes and hormones that regulate various processes in the body. Additionally, proteins are involved in supporting the immune system.
There is often a mistaken assumption that a plant-based diet lacks sufficient proteins. However, there are numerous plant-based foods that are rich in protein, such as legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas), tofu, tempeh, seitan, quinoa, amaranth, nuts, and seeds. By incorporating a variety of these protein-rich plant foods into a balanced plant-based diet, individuals can easily meet their protein needs.
