(NC) When life gets busy, health and nutrition goals can fall by the wayside, until we run out of fuel. For a balanced diet, always include a protein, dietitians say, and whenever possible make it a complete protein. Including enough protein in your diet is important because it can:
• Help build and repair your muscles and tissues which may support your physical activity and/or weight management goals.
• Build antibodies which are important for immunity.
• Help to slow down the digestion of food, so you feel fuller longer.
“I rely on protein for muscle and tissue repair as well as to fuel my day,” says four time Olympic gold medalist, Hayley Wickenheiser. “Eating a complete protein is especially important to me and that is not always easy to do in our busy lives. One solution I've found is a tasty meat snack called Protinis, part of the Maple Leaf Natural Selections line. It really helps to keep my eating on track when I'm on the go.”
According to Toronto-based, registered dietitian, Sue Mah, complete protein snacks like Protinis are the perfect package of all nine essential amino acids which our bodies can't make for us. A diet that includes protein is important for kids and teens too, she says. It helps build strong muscles and also delivers energy to power through a busy day.
“We especially need protein as we get older,” Mah continues. It helps us to maintain our muscle mass and is an important source of energy. Not only that, but it also helps build antibodies which are important for immunity.”
Additional information about complete proteins is available at www.protinis.ca.
