Why is Protein Good for You?
Protein is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in keeping your body strong and healthy, especially if you’re hitting the gym regularly.
It’s often called the "building block" of life because it helps repair and rebuild tissues, including muscles, after physical activity.
When you work out, your muscles experience tiny tears, and protein is what helps to heal and strengthen them, making it vital for muscle recovery and growth.
Beyond that, protein keeps you feeling fuller for longer, supports your metabolism, and is essential for producing hormones and enzymes that your body relies on daily.
Whether you’re smashing your fitness goals or just maintaining a balanced diet, protein is a powerhouse nutrient that keeps you energised and ready for whatever comes next! 💪
