Amino Acids and Proteins
Proteins are of utmost importance in order for you to reach your full
growth potential. Each protein you consume has various amino acids.
Now each of these amino acids all has different, but important, roles.
While all high protein foods that you consume are going to contain
amino acids, there are certain foods that will benefit you more than
others. The body requires two different amino acids and they are
categorized as: essential and non-essential amino acids. Included in
the essential amino acids are: Tryptophan, Valine, Isoleucine, Lysine,
Phenylalanine, Histidine, Leucine, Methionine, and Threonine. Your
body does not produce these amino acids by itself and instead
receives them from certain foods or supplements. This is why they
are called essential amino acids.
Included in the non-essential amino acids are: Glutamine, Proline,
Tyrosine, Alanine, Aspartic Acid, Cystine, Glycine, Glutamic Acid,
Arginine, Serine, and Cysteine. Your body actually does produce
these amino acids and you don’t have to get them from food.
